Odd that Apple Intelligence would break for everyone at the same time, and only on iOS 26 beta. That tells me that it’s a code issue, not a server issue.

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 was talking more about inconsistency in design. Time will tell if their intention is for the tabbed navigation at the bottom of app screens to work in different ways, or if they are just trying out different options, but will pick one for a consistent look by final release

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

Agreed. As it is, they have needlessly introduced an extra tap to get to both voicemail and search… seemingly just to accommodate the totally unnecessary liquid glass animation to the tabs at the bottom of the screen

ChatGPT sign in in the Intelligence settings has completely disappeared

Mine was working fine, and I decided to log out of ChatGPT in the settings app, which somehow bugged out all of Apple Intelligence. Tried changing languages, restoring iPhone, and none of that fixed it. I submitted feedback. I just get the message that it is ‘downloading support’ now.

It only appears when Intelligence is fully loaded. Same for Genmoji.

Funny I only realized after reading the posts about it here and checked 🤭 … really seem to use it a lot …

This is what I see when I try to generate an image in Image Playground

That’s why it is an option. Not everyone agrees with you. I prefer the new look which simplifies everything into one category, and it’s an easy tap at the top right if I want to focus on a certain category or check only voicemails. The new layout prevents accidental calls with much more surface area to tap on and allow checking the information of the contact or the number you tapped on.

Yep, and it also shifts vertically as I scroll. iPhone 11.

Mine goes away when I stop scrolling..

I hate the added 2-3 seconds when I launch the Camera app and meant to launch the Photos app, but I can't tap on the thumbnail for the last photo to switch yet because it is showing off it's fancy new UI down there.

So does mine 🖐️

Same problem. Same message.
I've searched around online it appears to be happening to everyone running the beta, seems to be an Apple problem, not user problem. 😭

Just switch it back to classic. It’s right there at the top.

Serious question: how does the keyboard feel when typing, especially swiping?

Because on iOS 18 I noticed a drop in the accuracy when typing just sliding my finger, and have to go back to typing the classic way.

Question: with that new interface, when you accidentally touch a recent call, it starts dialling/calling automatically? Or now you have to tap the round button?

This is important.
Thank you.

Starts dialling instantly.

So what is the consensus, stable enough in general to use for a primary device?

And I'm not suggesting it should be, and I know this is a beta etc., but genuinely interested to give it a try.

Does iOS 26 support DNS over QUIC or HTTP/3 system wide?

 

[Populus]

Starts dialling instantly.

Then… what’s the grey round button for?

 

[uniquexoxo]

since the last update for 15pm the elements on the lockscreen are no longer aligned i.e time and date, the player control overlapped with album art

I always used to be a taper rather than a swipper…. But for me iOS26 feels smooth and more precise in the swiping option. Something definitely feels better.

He’s wrong… with the new interface tapping anywhere but the button will pull up contact info. Tapping the button will call the person.

I hope it was sarcasm. 😂

Oh great! Thank you! Maybe I’ll have to try the beta when it’s a bit more stable…

Actually, you’re wrong. It’s a feature, but it is off by default.

Yeah thanks.

I don’t have that option on my 16PM in the UK strangely.
