[Roctavious]

On my 16PM

It showed up for me, I decided to toggle the share name and photo option and got it to go away. Its possible you're already sharing your name and photo?

I’m not sharing and never have…

My phone said this right after installing the update regarding adaptive power. Has anyone else’s phone shown this?

Phone is running a lot smoother on this beta.

 

[yeahtyeaht]

Airdrop has a new icon

 

[COBRASVT]

Google Maps not working in CarPlay. Haven't tried a hard reset yet. 16 PM via wireless CarPlay.

Icons still regenerating when switching from Light Mode to Dark Mode and back.

Battery widget in the Today View is weirdly dark now.

AutoMix is still crap. It worked well in early betas and now it’s pretty much just crossfade.

This is new!

RCS seems to bug out and disconnect after a while on wifi, requiring me to cycle my wifi connection …

Seems to be for sending only (e.g. shows SMS in text input and sends as SMS), receiving works just fine…

Alas my phots app still crashes when I open it! New feedback sent.

Definitely smoother but my screen is quite dim on auto, guessing it’s due to heat

AutoMix is still crap. It worked well in early betas and now it’s pretty much just crossfade.

it’s kind of inconsistent for me. sometimes, depending on the songs, it does an awesome job at mixing them both.
but yeah, most of the time is a janky crossfade

Oh boy I wish I had not tried it, first time using it on beta 5 and it's horrible, I dont like the shiny outline on the icons 🙁 need to find out how I get back to ios 18.6. iPad pro m4

Promotion seems to be vastly improved. It was stuttering for a bit after install, but now it is much much better

 

[xxFoxtail]

iPadOS 26, seems like the menu bar is persistent on an external display now.

 

[judgeFire]

Alas my phots app still crashes when I open it! New feedback sent.

iPadOS Photos crashes on launch for me now. Photo pickers and library access in other apps (Photomator) is fine.

 

[jacklroberts]

What has happened to the games app icon in light mode?


Also on iTunes Store and to a lesser extent feedback (in light and dark mode)

 

[kingdali]

Anyone knows if the 1% Battery / 0% Battery Health Problem is fixed on Beta 5?

 

[dannyyankou]

It's probably been mentioned already, but when you swipe back to the last page in Safari, it kinda bounces. Similar to the rubber banding effect when scrolling. It happens in Settings too.

Anyone having an issue with iCloud reminders syncing?

 

[papbot]

I couldn’t get it to show on my 16 Pro or iPad Pro M4. I had to turn off the developer profile and turn it back on. My have been a timing issue, but then it showed.

As in beta 4 I had to restart my iPad.

 

[mous94410]

Runs smooth on my IPad Pro M4. Thinking to upgrade on my 16 PM.

 

[kaisoj]

For some reason my Watch won't show the update. It's asking to try again. Somebody else got this issue?
