iOS 26 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[azzamitown]

I cannot seem to get wired CarPlay working on an aftermarket Sony XAV-AX1000 head unit. I can get wireless CarPlay working with a dongle, but wired the phone only charges. Anyone else with similar issues?

Has anyone figured out the glitch with the Lock Screen widgets on the bottom of the screen instead of under the clock? It won’t move back up where they are supposed to be

Anyone having issues with “SIM failure” or “No SIM found”

Currently on a iPhone 13 Pro Max. Was working for a majority of the day

Anyone successfully able to install from IPSW? Anybody encountering trouble installing from IPSW? Describe your procedure either way

I don’t know if it is just me, but on my iPad mini (6th gen) running iPadOS 26, I can’t get the Magic Trackpad to work wirelessly. I have to keep it connected via the USB-C to lightning cable at all times. Once I disconnect it, the Trackpad doesn’t work at all….this is a bug, for sure…I think.

Any thoughts?

Really hating the “Share Your Name & Photo” prompt at the top of the Messages app…

Pretty positive this is a bug.

Can you not just hold and drag it back up? Works for me.

I believe you have to bring the clock size to its default size for widgets to go back up

I don't have the "clear look" toggle in Settings > Display and Brightness.

I don't have the "clear look" toggle in Settings > Display and Brightness.

Because it's not there. It's in the menu where you could previously set your icons to dark or tinted.

This Apple designer’s Twitter post has over 860 comments. Probably not what he was expecting when he posted it.

I actually quite like the glass design.

I do to 😊

The Settings app lets you swipe gesture in the middle of the screen to go back instead of having to swipe from the corner. Not sure if it's anywhere else.

The music app does the same and makes it nearly impossible to queue songs. Really hoping this is just a bug.

‪People saying it’s a Beta… this shouldn’t have got past first internal presentation. This is vulgar and lacks accessibility. Also, the ever increasing dumbing of the software with insane colours, rainbows, curves is doing disservice to the far superior hardware ‬

Strange the new wallpaper is only one colour option unless mines bugged, hopefully they reintroduce older wallpapers again in future releases

Umm accessibility features still exist and you can turn off the glass effect.

Has anyone had any success in downloading the IPSWICH file for 14 Pro max ?

14 Pro here. I was able to download it but i can’t install it. I believe it’s incorrectly labeled iPhone 15,3. It’s supposed to be 15,2. I noticed the 14 Pro Max loads an error page. Hopefully they update both of them.

You should not have to use accessibility features unless you need them. This update will force a lot of people to turn off these effects as they make the software unusable in many conditions. How anyone can defend the control centre and overall lack of attention to the legibility aspect is beyond me.

Cause it’s early beta. This is not a final product.

Car Play has had weather apps for quite awhile now. This is a new widget screen

Oh really? I never noticed. I like the widget screen but if would be nice if there was just a little temperature icon on the left hand side bar that always displayed the current temperature.

 

[Hamsterhjulet]

Now we know why there’s going to be a 50% increase in RAM with new iPhones this fall: to render Liquid Glass fluidly.

We will see…

Poor accessibility in a beta redesign is nothing new. iOS 7.0 was even worse than this, you couldn't even turn off motion or transparency effects until a few updates after final release.
