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

Status

I'm honestly amazed at how much 'beta 1.5' has improved my phone. I didn't have the battery drain issue but the phone os in general one of the worst betas I can remember for a long time.

However today's update to fix the battery thing seems to have improved everything from animation speed to safari glitches. Maybe my phone just finished reindexing at the same time?

Anyone else?

I did notice that in Air pods pro settings, “off” is no longer available. Only Transparency, Adaptive and NC
 
While I am starting to love the look of iOS 26 I think this will be the first year where I don’t install any betas and won’t be installing the public release in September until I have been in a apple store to compare with what I have now .
iOS 18 to iOS 26 is such a design difference I am not sure if I will like it

Why not just install the beta and if you don’t like it rollback to iOS 18.5?

I have a lot of critical data on my iPhone and don’t want to risk any corruption, also only got my 16 pro max in may so feels odd putting a beta on it so soon after getting it 😂
And don’t have a working Mac at the moment to do a restore as I out the macOS 26 beta on it and it’s not booting at all going into boot loop so yeah

I’m sure there was a more substantial reason for releasing this update so soon; I’m really hoping, though, that this addresses one particular bug that annoys me (not a showstopper): the clock freezing while the phone is in Standby mode. Those brief AM-heart attacks weren’t fun 😂

Appears to have been fixed in this build 👍🏾

After keeping up for a few days, I totally get why you stayed low @Pearsey

Tons of venom the first days in the thread! 🙃

This beta one has been phenomenal. Absolutely love the many changes and the slippery Liquid interface

Tons of tweaking and corrections in the days ahead, of course, but such an excellent start 👍🏼

PS - for those that haven't, check out Brandon Butch's super helpful YouTube video of iOS 26 changes. He's not a whiner, and finds so much so quickly - well worth the fifty-one minutes

Has anyone tested on Apple Podcasts with OS 26 to see if episodes removed from Up Next or stations are now syncing across devices?

Then I would suggest you to wait until official release !
I will wait too (but it’s very hard to wait 🙈😬)

Watched it and it’s so nice to see so many little good changes!
