iOS 26 Beta 5 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[tomtad]

Is swiping right on the home screen supposed to do anything now. It just momentarily blurs the screen. Feels like it should either 1/ have a function, or 2/ do nothing! But blurring the screen isn’t anything.

iPadOS

You can put widgets there you can access from the lock screen.

I agree now we have widgets on the Home Screen it feels a bit redundant and would be nice to have the option to turn it off.

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…

It reminds me of these: https://www.amazon.com/-/en/Cabinet-Adhesive-Bumpers-Cabinets-Dampening/dp/B09W963WNM

Wondering if this is a bug, before I report. Anyone else seeing this? I have an iPhone 13 and when I try to add a widget, I hit edit and it comes up with a blank search box. When I enter the widget I’m wanting nothing happens. It does not bring it up. So how in the F are you supposed to add a widget? I figure this has to be a bug or I’m doing something wrong. Does anyone else have this issue? I’m referring to the widget page to the left of the home screen but same thing happens on home screen

Doesn't it just -it's not liquid glass, it's squishy gel sticker edition 😂

They come in all shapes and sizes too..

Anyone else having issues with the markup function when taking a screenshot? I can select it but nothing happens.

Here the select is actually disabled. But doesn’t look like the best way to visualise the disabled state.

This frame-rate jitter/stutter appears to be very annoying. [based on user reports] Especially when we're 30 days from OS release and new phone release.

Beta 6 next week must be the definitive fix. Otherwise this is the most insane forced obsolete i've ever seen.

Lots of stuttering on my 15 Pro Max. Makes the phone pretty unpleasant to use IMO.

Someone got the same problem, and it got fixed by setting reduce transparency to off, try it

And still report it please!

No issue adding a widget on my 13PM. Maybe reboot the phone if you haven’t already.
