Don’t have any news on mine up top.

This had me curious, so I researched. It's Apple's choice only, with no control given to the user. If Apple sees fit to post a related news post on the weather app, they'll push it - even if the News app has been deleted

I've seen this periodically myself, but nothing for months (or quite a long time)

Messages still not reliably syncing between iPhone and iPad, even when a manual sync is done by iCloud settings. Reported, feedback ID: FB18181154

I am too. I think I was the first to mention this literally after the revised beta released. If I restart it works for like a minute then stops. Something on the revised beta broke it

My 14 Pro Max didn't get the revised beta. It's been like this since day one of iOS 26. A restart does nothing. I did report it in the Feedback App. It works fine in Settings>Wallpaper.

That emoji button next to the “123” key won’t do it for you? Or are you looking for something else?

Do you have the emoji keyboard installed? (Settings—>General—>Keyboard) My daughter said some of her keyboards weren’t there after installing iOS 26 so she had to re-add them..

I have it and no, the button doesn’t open the emojis. Just the stickers.

You have stickers open. When you tap the emoji button please make sure you tap the “<“ key thats right next to the abc key. It should hide stickers and pull back up your emojis.

Ah, this worked. But it’s quite confusing experience, in my opinion.

Thanks!

True. And I’d hope that they are maybe trying out different things in different apps… but it seems a bit all over the place and inconsistent right now

To be honest iOS18 was not stable either and had plenty of bugs. Well at least now they are being bold and have a reason for things to be broken 😂

In my experience, public or even developer betas were not significantly less stable than officially “stable” releases. You can get some minor annoyances with early betas like widgets freezing up occasionally etc. But other than that, most bugs I encountered not only carried over early beta iOS18 to stable releases, they actually remain in early betas of iOS26 as well… Your widgets are still launching their apps if you swipe back to the homepage over them too fast… 🤷

I have noticed an unfixed bug carrying over from many previous versions (years) of iOS - the date does not change at midnight but shortly thereafter. For a short period the phone still displays yesterdays date

I really don't like the phone calls together with the voicemails. Looks confusing. The whole new phone app is horrible.

Go to Recents and switch to Classic…

Yes, iOS betas themselves and their core apps are usually ok, if you don’t mind the battery working double-shift. What can often be problematic, though, is third party apps, as some devs need to tweak them and it is not always as quick.

Anybody lost access to Apple Intelligence overnight? It’s happened on my iPhone and iPad. It says downloading now and brings up the old Siri interface.

A reset hasn’t worked.

It worked pretty well until today, since 2 hours it‘s burning hot.
Booting did not help in any way .
How can that suddenly change?
Had the beta since day1 and updated to this battery fix some days ago.
iPhone 16 Pro

Yes, got it too. On all of my devices running iOS/iPadOS 26. Rebooting/Changing region/disabling and enabling didn’t fix it. It’s basically stuck on downloading. Since it worked hours before and it’s already downloaded, I assume there must be some sort of server communication bug?
