iOS 26 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

My update stuck at apple logo and loading bar. Is it normal for it to get stuck here for so long? (Updated at 6:30) still waiting…

Same. Started installing the second it came out. Looks like we're going to be doing an IPSW install soon.

It is very ugly, and, unfortunately, it’s the app I use the most.

I feel you, and agree. I don’t think they’re going to change it sadly. 😔

How long you waiting before trying a forced restart?

This 9GB download was the fastest install ever on my iPhone 16 Pro. Real quick.

Over an hour, restart made it stuck at apples logo, so recovery mode restore it is lol

Guess I'll be doing the same

I had full storage bug, but it didn’t alert me phone was full when doing update, so im guessing it WAS full and update didn’t see so it got stuck. That system data bug sucks lol.

UI glitch with this component (Calendar app)

Anyone else think the status bar color switching when scrolling in safari is super distracting?

Also, not sure why my screen recording turned dark when I cropped it. Weird.

I hope they don't change it because that's one of my favorite features of Safari on the iPad. Browsing shows much more content.

Agreed, it’s much better like this.

 

[Polaroid]

This seems not normal, can you restore it? And I hope you have made an backup ?

Recovery mode works, i have a backup - expect this sorta stuff on beta so not bummed, just annoying downloading everything (over a TB data on slow internet haha) but cant get mad on beta lol

 

[gforce216]

Airplay seems broken in DB4. Will attempt to connect and then revert back to iPhone/iPad.

 

[nortonandreev]

Problem with the location services on the iPad.

I wasn't referring to the collapsing top bar feature – I prefer that off so I can always see my open tabs, but it's good it's an option – but the overall UI changes.

Losing the compact mode on Mac is criminal and the new tab design is so ugly and not in keeping with the rest of the design language. I don't know why there needs to be the harsh separation on the top bar either when elements float on top and fade away at the top/bottom everywhere else in the OS.

It just feels really unfinished and far less elegant than before.

It's fine on iPhone but it's absolute trash on Mac and iPad IMO.

Well crap. I have a 1/2 terabyte free, so who knows what happened to mine.

What’s all this line about had it in B3 as well in Safari. It’s annoying when scrolling websites on my iPad

 

[greg624]

I have my text size all the way too. The (…) menu looks like the size is right, but the other menus look oversized imo

Normal:
View attachment 2530902

Giant text:
View attachment 2530901
View attachment 2530900

I see what you mean. Mines like that too for those menus

 

[UKapple73]

Give it time and it’s hz not fps

Isn’t it the same thing? I mean Hertz means “per second” and in this case referring to screen refreshes. Which in this case would equate to frames per second??

Anyone having issue with resizing the clock on IOS? Works fine on my ipad (both on the betas, but won't let me drag to make it larger on the lock screen.)

I do not have that. Content blocker, perhaps?

As I use 2 fingers to zoom in and out the gets bigger or smaller

Edit
Think your right thx just turned off AdGuard and it went away
The line appears to be the bottom scroll bar moving up with the screen

Still not working ? Didn’t worked for me either on beta 3 - I am so itched and thinking about to jump on train again, but my iPad (yes I really ordered one earlier today because the waiting was to long 🤣😅)
won’t get the beta on it, not messing around with it as it will be brand new !

To clarify I want my iPad and iPhone on the same OS that’s why I wrote about the iPad and to admit that I am stupid and really bought one 😅

Make sure you're using the standard font.

Really? It only works with the standard font? Thanks a lot !
