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.
Got a tip for us?

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.
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.
Using on my iPhone 16 pro and really no major issues. Battery life has been fairly good for a fifth beta as well.
Yes! If you flip between Full Page and Screen then click on the Markup button again the controls will appear.
The same thing happens to me when I take a screenshot with the accessibility shortcut. If I take the screenshot with the button combination, it works for me.
I used to have this really annoying issue with my iPhone keyboard. It started back on my iPhone 11, and when I switched to this iPhone 13, the bug somehow came with me. My girlfriend got the 11 and never had the problem. It all started with iOS 17 — the keyboard would freeze, take forever to register what I typed, and the accuracy was terrible.
Now, I’ve been on iOS 26 DB 5 for almost a week, and I haven’t had this issue even once. I had basically given up hope that Apple would ever fix it, but now… I’m honestly scared to leave this DB 5 in case the problem comes back.

I wouldn’t go that far. I’m seeing some pretty noticeable animation stutters and glitches on both my iPhone 16 PM and my M4 iPad Pro…I imagine it’s even more noticeable on previous gen devices. Definitely needs some more polishing.
... I'm agree but I will not be against some battery optimizations.
I get the same response with my iPhone 13 Pro. Also in CarPlay when I search for contacts or music, the Car Play display is blank as well.
Anyone else having issues w/ the Apple Card transactions and details loading extremely slowly in the Wallet app?
It’s not for me on 16 PM as there are a few apps that I use daily that don’t work yet. Check the list at the beginning of this thread. YMMV
I agree in the sense that I only have 1 app that doesn't work for me (and it's a very niche one, used to pay for coffee and beverages on Dallmayr coffee machines at work). For the rest, everything works. It's quite laggy and stuttery here and there, and battery life is way worse than on 18.6 on my 16PM - but I am daily driving it and it all works as it should, with minor inconveniences.
Of course, as with all betas, if you need a phone where everything works 100% perfectly - just don't.
