I mean, it’s not a showstopper. Just a less polished experience than beta 6. I’ll just rock it until beta 8 next Monday. Hopefully more polish in that one.
Got a tip for us?

Whoever had this idea with the wallpaper settings… iOS 18 or 17?? Changing the wallpaper is more complicated than creating an own ringtone now.

In my feeling the second revision of beta 6 already slowed it down very gently. It’s still pretty fast.
I think anything that‘s not fixed by now is going to hit RC come September, so learn to live with this annoying UI bug.
Are you talking about from the dialer? I have this drop down that let's me choose which line..

Sigh.. video game frame-stutter is unfortunately still present.
Ever since iOS 26 beta was released, games no longer reliably run at the native frame rate of the devices (tested with multiple games on both the 14 Pro and iPad Mini 7). Whether it's 120fps or 60fps, there's frequent random stutters that bring down the fps by like 30-50% for as long as like 15 seconds. No amount of changing settings like reduce motion fixes it.
It's obnoxious and a lesson in patience for next year to wait for the stable release instead.

Ah I see now. Yes correct wifi button is the same as it was in B6. Abrupt switch if tapped, glass bubble if pressed (sorta defeats the purpose because you can hardly see it if pressed) Thanks for clarification.
Yes it works both ways with outlook.com address quickly. Also Gmail for me is also working. However gmail does not support push in Apples mail app so it has to fetch/refresh if it marked as read on server first. But reading on mail app marks as read on server within a few seconds.
Phone cools down way quicker and not get as warm with Safari usage etc.
Pretty good so far.

Interface elements (pause/play, jump fwd, jump bwd) on the TV app are a less glassy than previous betas.
Hmm we will. Guess as well that we won’t see a lot of noticeable changes in beta 8 and the RC anymore.
Further visual improvements and probably noticeable changes will come with the .1 release and the ones after.
FB19745355 (Mail App message side padding visual conflict with window controls and corner mask)
See attached screenshot with arrows directed at visual conflicts. The most straightforward fix would be to have the email horizontally fill the message view column without the contrasting padding.
Bottom-right: this corner resize control's right-edge conflict always occurs with a white background email while in dark mode.
Middle-right: while scrolling, the grey scroll bar is visually overwhelmed by the white message background.
Top-right: when a white background mail scrolls beyond the rounded corner mask of the iPad display, there's visually awkward cut-off here as well as the bottom-right corner.

I'm curious if anyone else has seen this issue within the Photos app. I'm running Beta 7 on a 12 Pro. When I open Photos, select Collections, then Reorder it will not work. I can select Reorder, but I cannot change the order of items in the list. Is there a trick to doing a reorder that I am missing?
FB19746365 (Welcome screen wallpaper reduced colour depth and resolution)
The iOS and iPadOS 26 animated text ‘welcome’ screen presents a low quality version of my current wallpaper. There’s colour banding in shaded areas and low resolution with aliasing in detailed areas of the wallpaper.
Once I progress to the Home or Lock screen the wallpaper is displayed at full quality.
This issue was present in Developer Beta 6 and now in Developer Beta 7.

I’m finding the interface much less glassy than the previous beta. They increased the blur level behind the transparency, I think, but also not everywhere…so some things are noticeably less glossy, like the lockscreen, widgets and the banners, yet some menu elements are still super glassy like when navigating the photos app. Make it make sense…
