iOS 26.4 Beta 3 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[ProbablyDylan]

"Reduce lighting effects" still doesn't seem to do anything

 

[Rogifan]

Is Apple ever going to fix all the inconsistencies with the UI between dark & light? I use dark mode and so often things show up as light when they should be dark.

How do you reproduce that? Another browser other than Safari?

 

[Reeneman]

This new beta honestly brings nearly nothing new, right?

It’s so random. I mostly notice it when I go from websites that have white backgrounds to website websites that have dark backgrounds. I noticed it both on the iPhone and iPad.

Emojis, AI playlist generator and some Apple Music UI changes

Not if you switch from the app switcher to the Home Screen and swipe. That bug still exists.

Don’t do that then.


Does the keyboard still have a blue tint when using Tinted instead of Clear Liquid Glass?

Search bar is still placed at the top in App Store and Games but no other build in app. I hate the inconsistency.

Search bar positioning should be a switchable option. I hate it at the bottom find it much harder to use.

Fortunately, there are many bug reports for the app switcher Home Screen swipe stuttering. Hopefully we get a fix for that.

Does anyone know if beta 3 has fixed the wireless carplay issue?

I don't know what the issue is/was, but B3 is working with both of my cheap adapters.

Unfortunately this beta appears to break Wipr 2's experimental Filtr feature.

What issues? Doesn’t load?

I’ve got the same age verification in the UK but I don’t hold a credit card and if I use my passport it says I can’t use it

How do we get into age verification? Settings?

Yep

Ignore that, just got it on first use and my registered credit card validated in seconds (UK)

I have cards registered in my account and it registered immediately. How can you survive without a credit card in the Apple/app store/iCloud ecosystem? Must be a pain

Well, you can be a lucky human that doesn’t need any subscription or paid app 😂

Is Messages being intolerably slow for anyone else? Think it took 10 minutes to send a message. It's also super slow / laggy to cold open or resume.

Im not experiencing this. Unless I am misunderstanding the bug..

 

[iLuddite]

Also I’m using dark mode (as always) and I’m currently sitting in my darkened room and this **** just about seared my eyes out

officially NOT a fan of this color-matched slop design…

How strange. Perhaps it’s another Lockdown Mode-related bug but whatever it is it’s not right and a regression since yeah it was going on in some recent-ish beta whether for 26.3 or .4, can’t remember 🤔

Whatever I’ll go report not that it’ll help anything

 

[iLuddite]

Lol @christian.terra it’s happening even when playing music directly on my phone; here’s some video evidence for ya (you can cross-reference Control Center now-playing widget 😆)

EDIT: I “fixed” it by restarting the Music app! 🫶👏😋 There ya have it, folx

I was calling without any problem from my favourites list on 26.4B2. I will test Beta 3 when I’ll have the opportunity to do so.

I just called from my favourites list and it’s working fine
