Thanks!

But this strikes me as really bad.

To me the white flashes are bad and represent a bug in the code.

You said I can turn off the white flashes! So the flashes are not a bug!?!? They are a feature!?!?

If true, Apple software and software product planning really sucks.

If there’s an option to specifically disable something, then it couldn’t be a bug. It’s by design.
To me, and I can confidently speak for most of us here, it’s not the white flashes that bother us but the shiny borders around the icons and folders. If Apple gives us a way to disable that, we’re quite happy.

“If Apple gives you a way to disable that, we’re quite happy.”

We are on the same page ultimately… but:

Apple designed a crap user experience that I thought was a bug. Then they give me a way to disable the crap experience (or what I thought was a bug).

Brilliant.

It would have been better to not design the crap user experience, that they then must redress a second or third time (wasting time and resources) to create an off switch later. It would have been better to put customer satisfaction in the center of the dev plan, achieve it and move on with the result being truly happy customers not flaming on message boards or talking about being thankful for an off-switch to disable intentionally crap code.

I need to chill. Sorry.

Just updated to iOS 26.4 and I am able to set a charge limit and optimize battery charging. Before the update the toggle for OBC would always be off when a charge limit is set. Does anyone else have this option available?

Nowhere in the iOS 26.4 features list does it say anything about this. I’m wondering if maybe this feature was allowed for everyone before but I just didn’t have it until now.

I'm sick of updates. Six gigs? All they do is keep coming and filling my storage space and honestly, I see no difference and really no see no improvements. Y'all believe what you want to believe.
This is an Apple scam designed to fill your device until you run out of space so you have to get a new one.

Yes, well spotted, this is new.
 
Since moving from the RC to the official release, I’ve had a bunch of glitches in the Messages app. It’s crashed a handful of times on me, I get some weird visual glitches when reacting to texts in group chats, and when I first wake up and check the phone all my conversation names are replaced with the person’s phone number until I force quit and reopen the app.

Regardless of what iAppleBytes shows on his latest video, I’ve updated my test drive iPhone SE 3 and, after running the same Geekbench 4 battery test on iOS 26.3 and 26.4, the difference is very small

Now I’m using that test drive SE 3 regularly on 26.4 and after 48-72h the Screen on Time seems very similar, only marginally inferior. On the tests, we’re talking about just 10 to 15 minutes less… so I think overall updating (or doing a clean install) to iOS 26.4 is recommended, not only for the emojis but also for the security fixes, the subtle Liquid Glass improvements, and the keyboard mistyping errors that have been officially fixed on 26.4.

If my test drive does indeed remain with a good battery life, I’ll update (actually, restore with a clean install) all my devices, my remaining SE 3, and my M2 iPad Pro.

Cheers!
 
I've been seeing a lot of weird stuff in this final build. Not anything show stopping, but weird. I had numerous apps stop being auto logged in. I've seen some performance stuff where I click on items and apps take a sec or two to actually respond where in the past they did so right away. I see some keyboard improvements, but I wouldn't call it fixed.

There just seems to be some wonkyness in this build from my perspective. I hope for a 26.4.1 fairly soon.

which device and do you wish you stayed on 26.3.1?
 
I have 26.4 installed on my iPhone 11 pro and it runs better than ever. Smooth, no stuttering, no lags, and best battery even though liquid glass is activated.

But I have to say that I am not installed many apps (most things can be handled within the browser) and disabled background refresh.
 
Strange Story from me with iPadOS 26.4
Got an iPad Pro M5 11-inch in November and since I got it my Tap to Wake wasn’t working 100%. It always did on my old M1 Pro. After some time the device was not used you needed to use the On/Off button to wake the device and Tap to Wake worked until it doesn't.
There are some threads on the internet about this but not a definitive solution. I tried everything except exchanging the device with Apple. Fresh install etc. i even submitted feedback to Apple which then stated over 10+ similar reports but the solution is still open. Since the day I installed the RC of 26.4 Tap to Wake always worked and it still does. I’m so happy it got silently fixed and no one mentioned it. No one anywhere. So I would share that story now 🙂

first attempt seems to have failed mid-process. DFU RESTORE TO 26.4 IN APPLE DEVICES IS NOT CURRENTLY SAFE TO DO AND MAY BRICK YOUR IPHONE!! This is one of the most dangerous states to have something stop midway on your device. I will try it again
