Installed it on old iPhone 12. Full of small cosmetic and function bugs but the showstopper was havoc it played with 3rd-party-battery charge, which was changing between 100% and <20% in under 30 minutes and then back to 80% after 10 minutes on wireless charger. Gave up and rolled back to 18.5 from DFU mode/restore.
That’s why you should use genuine battery from Apple, not some cheap 3rd party battery 🙈

‘Beta Update’ has bricked my Airplay, so now I can’t connect to HomePods etc.
Lots of problems with Music including not being able to add music to playlists or to library.
Screen brightness jumps up and down randomly.
First beta was better for me.

Try reinstalling with IPSW file on top of your current installation.

Just got the notification for a new beta. Thank goodness...my 15 Pro Max has been running HOT 🔥 and draining battery like crazy. My battery health went from 98% to 96% in just a few days! :eek:

A YouTuber had the same issue , he had alarm set for 5:30 but he didnt wake up to 8 am because the alarm didn’t ring properly
 
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
Well, it if that’s critical I hope you’re making backups (that could also be used if you rollback to iOS 18 😉)
 
I’ve got to say that I’m impressed by the first beta of iOS 26. It’s stunning! I’m really digging the new Liquid Glass design and I thinks it’s a great start. Can’t wait to see where it will end. Stability is fairly good. I haven’t had any apps crashing or resprings yet. It stutters but that’s expected at this state. I can’t imagine what’s going on behind the scenes when it comes to making Liquid Glass work.

Absolutely the same here. I am amazed at the stability and compatibility of a beta 1 on my 16PM and IPP. It’s all downhill from here…
 
My iPhone 15 Pro is stuck trying to download Visual Intelligence, and it's causing it to heat up and drain more battery than normal. I see this because at times, Apple Intelligence takes up 6.37GB, then suddenly drops to 4.8GB and then goes back up again, and that's it. The Apple Intelligence section doesn't indicate that anything is downloading, and turning the AI off and on and restarting the phone isn't helping at all. Since it started doing this, the system data has frozen at 1.07GB.
 
Could others confirm that iOS 26 is actually updating applications automatically now?

This morning I checked my application list expecting to have to manually kick off an update of countless apps showing that updates have been available for a couple of days…

FYI… my 16 PM charges overnight and is on WiFi at that time…

Have you turned on the switch in Apps, App Store Auto-Updates? Mine was Off, I am just trying to verify…
 
This might have been mentioned already, but if you move lock screen widgets to the bottom of the screen, they stay pinned there even as you’re scrolling through notifications. When they’re at the top, they move away when scrolling.

I’ve always had to manually update my apps for the past several years.

Is it saved as a Favorite? There seems to be in issue with those. I haven’t been able rearrange them, nor can I edit the name. For bookmarks in other folders, tap the 3 dots go to bookmarks at the top, find the bookmarks and long press for the menu, then tap edit

That’s it.. bookmarks in Favorites are locked down, no editing. Other folders seem to be normal.

As a work-around I re-saved the bookmark into Favorites with a better name, and now it’s synced correctly to my iPad and iPhone (no access to my Mac right now), and I’m finding all newly saved bookmarks to Favorites can not be reordered either. The others that were previously saved can be reordered. Also, the favicon of Favorites bookmarks do not refresh either

I’ll report these Bookmarks management bugs to Apple shortly

Once I get to my Mac in a few days, I hope I can fix it up there in macOS 26

Thanks for confirming @dcp10
 
Same here, which is the reason for my post. I am cautiously optimistic that they have finally seen fit to address that issue.

Time will tell…
Maybe they reduced the time window for the auto updates. I think I read a long time ago when I was developing apps that auto updates work after 2 weeks of the update being released. Also it depends if the dev choose to send the update to everyone or do a gradual deployment.
