Are talking about the clear space at the very top of the page?

If so, do you have an ad blocker? I do and that clear space is where an ad appears with my ad blocker disabled.

No.

It’s at the bottom, where the nav bar is. A gap opens up between the URI bar and the navigation bar.

It’s only a small gap in 26.2; in 26.1 and 26.0 that nav bar floated half way up the page.

Doesn’t happen for me but I have most of the safari feature flags enabled. Wonder if that site is using functionality which isn’t enabled by default but works when you enable that feature in safari advanced?

No, but yes. It happened on multiple sites as soon as I installed 26.0. They were fine before then. I have heard of some web devs being paid $$$ to fix some sites that had this issue.

I haven’t run the websites through a validator. I don’t know if a) the code passes validation generally and b) if it fails, if the validation failures are the cause of this display bug. Frankly I have better things to do with my time than try to fix other folks’ websites which I won’t be getting paid to sort.

The way the websites all broke right when 26.0 dropped points at something changing in Safari. I don’t run many extensions but even disabling my ad blockers the issue is still there. Sometimes it vanishes, something to do with loading and reloading, I can’t work it out.

The Safari flags is interesting – I will have to investigate that. Maybe it’s cache related?

If you haven’t set any of the settings > apps > safari > advanced > feature flags, scroll to the bottom and tap “reset all to defaults” then clear history and web data for all time (all history) and test your website again.

my beta 3 on my iPhone 13 and watch are flawless. Sorry to hear ya'll have such crazy issues. When ever I upgrade to a new beta say from Sequoia to now 26, I'll update but then do a fresh clean install, format everything and set up as a new machine, then install everything. It's always been a much smoother go.

Who said i have issues? The problem is if you dont like it or if it crashes, you have no option but to send your device to apple. Do you know what “if” means? Lol.

Makes you wonder how much Apple really controls settings from their side without your intervention or allowance.
Safari was showing a number of sites in Light when I had thins set to Dark. Starting today, 90%+ of those sites are now showing Dark.

Absolutely. They really should stop strong arming people onto iOS 26 when for sizeable majority it sounds to be a disaster. Just debating myself whether to install the beta to get iOS 18.7.3.

By no means is the user community here a “sizable majority.” You have a small subset of overall users that read the posts here and a smaller subset that actually POST here. They tend to be techies and people claiming to be developers, (though I suspect most are in the former category), and some latch onto small issues that feel like the end of the world - to them.

The “majority” of iPhone users are blissfully happy with iOS 26 and have no idea what the “icon redraw” issue is, even though you see posts about it on a daily basis here.

The “majority” of iPhone user don’t really care that one button buried 2 levels deep in settings still does not have the “glass” effect properly applied.

Is it just that site? That “nav bar” is coded by the web app developer. Looks like they didn’t anchor it properly or set the proportions right.
 
Hi, does anybody in EU managed to make Notification Forwarding work ?
It seems to me that the option is present but not functional yet, or I'm missing something.
I've paired a Galaxy Watch 8 in BT, and it does not appear...

Safari.
Still something wonky. I can opens a site and the tab shows dark like my system settings yet on refresh shows light. I can open the same site on two different tabs and have one dark, one light. Freaking nuts!

Since the inception of crapOS 26, mine has always done that on all of my devices. I’ve given up on it. It’s just a turd.

Can anyone verify if this is just bad design or is it issue on my side?

In Health, monthly view of Vitals does not shows same values as aligned. For example, both green dots have the same value, 50BPM, but they are not the same height in graph. In fact, second dot from the right is 49BPM yet it is placed higher than some 50BPM (or even higher) dots.

Curious is anyone else getting a LOT of resprings with this beta? I have been averaging 2/day here and I have never had that with any of the versions. 26.2 ran great but getting to 26.3, I am seeing the respring action like never before.

Apple did ask me for feedback on a crash - but the files sent show Springboard. It was a respring that happened at the time. The case is FB21407392.
