Even the keyboard is terrible in this beta. At least on the 16 Plus. I’ve never made this many typos on any beta or iOS version. Laggy and doesn’t register keys correctly. They need to throw this beta in the dumpster and start over.

I am seeing this issue too - but only with the "old" keyboard (i.e. not the one with the A on the bottom right of the spacebar that shows in Spotlight etc). For example, if I type "Hey man how's it going man" the "n" in the second man will be skipped. I'm a fast typer so I thought it was just me, but I am very clearly tapping correctly on keys and it just skips them. Crazy stuff.

I accidentally posted this in the Beta 7 thread, so I’m posting it here.

But anyway, these are what wallpaper controls look like when you’re editing a wallpaper with a light background. Those are supposed to say “cancel” and “done” lol. I’m speechless.

It should say "Cancel" and "Done" on gray background with white text. This is what it should look like. I tried to reproduce yours, but could not.

HDR screen shots are also broken lol, when I take a screenshot and try to upload, it uploads in sdr, which makes it unreadable. I will say when actually editing it with the bright background, I can see it but it’s still very faint. You can tell it’s in HDR, which is a visual bug because the controls are ONLY supposed to go into HDR when they are tapped, not when they’re supposed to be static. But it’s not as bad as it’s appearing when seeing these screenshots.

Another thing… 😀

Auto screen brightness seems to go up too high in light situations that don’t require a high brightness level.

Am I the only one missing the "Select" option in the Mail App on iPadOS? It's there on iOS, but on my iPad when I'm in the Junk folder or Trash folder, there's no more option to press Select so that you can tap and drag or select all to delete all items in the trash.. I'm left to just swipe swipe swipe away each and every individual email :-/
 
They are really going to ship this like this eh?

"Liquid Glass is fine, they said. I mean, we can agree and disagree all day on whether this is good design, but I don’t see how anyone can say this is in a good enough shape to ship."

How the “bubble” showing the selected tab starts to go over the word for the second tab (the top corner of the B in Bibliothek) looks sloppy to me and lacks attention to detail from Apple.

Although I don’t mind the look/premise of Liquid Glass when playing around with the betas on my spare iPhone 11, I don’t feel that it’s ready for prime time. Like others have said in this thread, I can’t see it all being ironed out for the public release of iOS 26.0.

Didn’t noticed that - but yeah it’s kinda weird looking, but I guess its because of the German translation and the longer word that’s resulting from this
It’s also because they chose a design where the “active” indication overlaps with adjacent controls. That’s just not good UI design, IMO.

Me neither - but we will see in 11 days after the event with RC. Fingers crossed 🤞 for a better RC than the beta 8 right now in terms of visuals

There's a lot of "sloppy" in iOS 26 so far. Don't expect much to improve between now and launch.

For me it is there in the three dot menu option …
