Had a fun one today. Set my alarm as usual before bed. Woke up 10 mins late due to no alarm going off. Look at phone, normal lock screen. Open clock app, all my alarms gone. Restarted phone and everything came back and the phone acted as though my alarm had been going off since the initial alarm time. Very odd.

Beta vibes I guess, hardly relying on alarms, so I guess I will wait for RC…
Tempting it is

Question. Trying to figure if this is just me.

When in Dark Mode, swipe down to trigger Spotlight search. Type in the field (e.g. Safari). Click on the field, as if to "edit" the text and move the cursor. Does it "glow" so bright you can't see anything? It does for me, but can't seem to screenshot it properly.

Mine does, but only in the little speech bubble like pop-up box that appears above the text being 'edited'. The original text is always readable. The effect seems to wane after a while too.

Weird bug I found with all my spatial wallpapers. If your phone is moving at all while swiping to unlock or check notifications… see here. Started on beta 5.

Haven’t seen this one before. The tab I’m on plus the address bar and controls render black font. The other tabs are white font. And there’s no way to tell what the active tab is other than it’s glassy pill shaped while the others aren’t. This happened when I tapped the plus sign to open a new blank tab. If I switch to another tab and then switch back the colors all switch to white. Is Apple going to have this fixed before launch in September? I’m starting to have my doubts. On the other hand, how can they ship software to millions of people that has glaring UI issues?

Anybody missing the photo grid within a contact in messages? I've tried the siri / search toggles, signing in and out of icloud, turning imessages on / off. It's not there for any of my contacts.

Had this happen earlier. Thought I was going crazy, was clicking thru all the options on the contact page, and then Photos magically appeared. Seems to be a bug/phone indexing the conversation in the background.

you mean watchOS 10.6??

Theoretically you can run a watch on an older OS level than the phone, eg if the watch is an older model, but I would not recommend it during beta testing as it will be prompted for upgrade, and wiping it and setting up again will be tricky.
Certainly send feedback though using the phone FBAssistant.

I am on the public beta. Lockscreen dims and I unlock the phone and Home Screen is also dim. Have to lock and unlock the phone all the time. 15 Pro Max.

I also had this dimming the morning after installing the latest beta with Apple’s iOS 26 Dynamic background. Changing it from dynamic to any other option and restarting the iPhone fixed the dimming for me, however it does not seem to change background colours as often as before.

I haven’t got a dynamic wallpaper enabled.
 
I think my daughter just summed it up nicely, she said it reminds her of those “squishy window gel stickers”. You can get…

Now I can’t un see it…

Oof, problems with alarms is one of the things that worries me the most when running betas. Thankfully, I haven’t had issues in past years. But I also set alarms on my Apple Watch as a backup and hope one of them rings.

Mines the opposite. It lowers. Have to it back up from time to time. Been happening since beta 1. My ultra 2 is not on beta either. Been trying to figure out what I’ve done to trigger it. Like when listening to a video or reel and go to turn the volume down, it trips the watch volume. Idk been super annoying. Just submitted feedback.
