I believe I asked before, you've done a reset all settings right? My M5 was glitchy as hell on 26.1 until I did a reset all settings. Now its basically flawless.
Man it is taking forever to install WatchOS 26.3 B1…. Also took an oddly long amount of time to download the IPSW for iOS 26.3…
Good god iOS 26 is a mess.
UI issues abound. Beyond the Alarm button issues this is still happening:

How can they ship this?
We desperately need a “snow leopard” year. Or two. Don’t even start me on Tahoe. JFC.

Safari is still a mess from 26.2. New one for Safari and Password …. Logged into an account and the password had expired. Updated it, then manually updated it in Password (auto-update on change never triggered.). When I went to log in, it put in the old password even though when I looked it showed the new update. A reboot fixed the issue.
Control Center - Voice Memo disappeared. Had to re-add.
Odd one - I use my OnePlus 80w charger and cable (red 😁) and now for a new one I am getting a “slow charger” alert. (see attached)
Spell Check is pushing proper names 🙄

Mine were fixed about 3 betas ago on my iPhone. Never experienced them on my iPad though.
26.2 is definitely better than 26.1. Im liking 26.3 so far on my 16pro
Tired: “Safari is snappier”
Wired: “App icons still redraw”

I have a feeling software is just going to become more bug ridden with so many companies pushing AI vibe coding.
You have to be crazy to install a beta software to your watch.
I just tried to log into a web site on which I had just created a user name and password with Apple’s Passwords app in 26.2… and the website informed me either the email or password is incorrect. IOS/IPadOS/macOS 26 isn’t bricking my machine or causing entire systems to fail. But it’s tons of little problems like this.
I find that iOS 26 certainly is peppered with many, many small UI glitches. The core functionality, for my daily uses, is very solid and stable at least.
The UI Design leadership seems to be changing at Apple though. I foresee things improving in the UI due to this. Might take until iOS 27 until we see appreciable updates and fixes though - it takes a long time to turn a ship as big as Apple, with multiple glitchy UI designs.
I’m happy that there’s light at the end of this, very long, tunnel.

Just installed 26.3b1 on my 17PM. It's running great.

am i the only one who has zero issues with macOS tahoe? it’s been more stable for me than sequoia.
Amusingly it’s already more usable than 26.2 for me. I had no issues with every beta of 26.2 but when I went onto the RC, Siri outright stopped working. It would reply to every single request by complaining about a connection issue.
On this beta Siri is working again, I don’t use it often but it’s how I pick music when driving etc.

Why? I’ve always used betas on my watch without any problems.
The problem is that when you have an issue, you have to send it to apple for a downgrade. I installed a beta just once on my watch and had to go to an Apple Store for them to send it to another country just for a downgrade.
On iOS 26.3 beta 1, I moved a folder that contains 17 apps to the dock and cannot reproduce the issue.
I saw on Reddit that you can fix it by creating a new weather wallpaper screen. This will get the allow location dialog to pop up. Once you approve you can use you old wallpaper and it should work again.
I don’t use this wallpaper, but thought I would share what I saw.
