The only bug I’ve noticed is if I send a picture in an RCS chat the message text with it does not send and/or appear on my side of the conversation.
 
This is what happened to me after every iOS 26 update, until 26.6.1 🤞🏻😃
I have to say, so far I’m not getting frame drops. They usually would have surfaced by now. Also there was a bug when switching to speaker phone, the circle would be delayed in turning white. That was surprisingly fixed.
 
I’m seeing the occasional stuttering on the Home Screen as usual lol.
Figures..

Also getting a weird bug where an app goes to dark mode during the day. (Should be light mode) I believe it’s only messages so far. When I close the app and reopen it fixes.
 
Tried to remove my old airpods from find my and the app crashed.

Followup:

Called apple and after multiple hard resets the airpods finally came off my apple account.

One little I'm noticing since I updated, the phone will not charge to 100%. 3rd time now it sits "stuck" on 98%.

If I reboot the phone, it will then show 100% 🤷🏻‍♂️

I can't believe they never fixed the missing photos in the photos tab when going to a specific contact in messages...
 
For the first time in my iPhone ownership history going back to the 4s, I turned off automatic updates. This version is so solid and quick, I don't want to pollute it with iOS 27 until it's much more mature than it is going by the beta threads.
 
One of my Shortcuts (that watches the battery during charging and alerts when it reaches 90%) now gets an error message “Shortcut Format Too New. This shortcut cannot be opened because it was created on a newer version of the Shortcuts app.” Charging the phone now exceeds the limit set in Settings | Battery | Charging | Charge Limit (also set at 90%). Both issues began since I installed iOS 26.6.1, yesterday. I can't even submit a meaningful Feedback report because I'm not able to view and copy the shortcut steps!

Followup: Apple Tech Support says they know about charging past the charge limit setting and are working on it. They suggested that the shortcut issue may be related and to wait for the charge limit fix, it may fix the problem with the shortcut (since it tries to read the battery charge).
 
Need to be on WiFi with this update just like the RC, don’t know why they changed that.
Have they stated somewhere this is a deliberate change, or is it still a potential unacknowledged bug?

I'm one of those people for whom "just use wifi" isn't an option - I don't have wifi at home, work is locked down to managed devices, and anyone who suggests installing security updates over untrusted public wifi needs to be slapped with a dead fish. So I'd be very disappointed if Apple have decided to make updates wifi-only, especially since I've had no problem installing much larger iOS updates (and macOS ones via hotspot) over cellular data.

Beside from it being a boneheaded decision, one bit of evidence for it being a bug is the wild variation in update sizes I've seen over my many attempts. On my 17e running 26.6 the update is usually reported as being 692.7MB, but it occasionally shows as 716MB instead.

The size of the update in iPhone Storage settings varies even more: going in to delete failed downloads I've seen sizes around 53-54MB, 2.3-2.4GB, or occasionally 9.2-9.3GB. I don't know how this figure is calculated (if I had to guess I'd assume it preallocates enough space to download and decompress the update package), but are these numbers at all reasonable for a ~700MB update?

Haven’t heard anything one way or another but I’m usually outside of WiFi and have unlimited crazy fast 5G so I don’t care lol.
 
My iPhone 15 updated to 26.6.1 overnight, and now - even when Bluetooth streaming to buds - my phone’s speaker periodically generates 5 second burts of white noise which is irritating my colleagues at work.

Anyone else encountered this or better still have a cure?

Disconnect and delete the BT streaming device, check for firmware updates for the BT device, restart the phone (volume up, volume down, hold the lock button for 30 seconds).
Does it happen on all BT devices or just one device? Go into the BT profile and set what type of device it is.
