And how you turn off the search button?

Settings - Home Screen & App Library, toggle off the Show on Home Screen switch for Search

Sorry guys, I have to ask again as I've looked all the settings and cannot find away to get rid of the tick and search bar above the keypad in the picture below. And surely I can't be the only one who's getting it, can I?

It's supper annoying as once you've typed a certain amount of text, the bottom lines are hidden by the bar and tick and you can't see what you've typed.

I removed SwiftKey as someone suggested this bar might be part of it, but that hasn't helped at all.

Any help massively welcome. View attachment 2543465

If you click on the check mark, it'll make the keyboard go away and you can see the bar again. Click on the bar again and the keyboard will show up as it should.

Do you have this option in Settings flipped off?

Nope, I keep it on—which on my iPhone it behaves correctly, it only badges apps that I have it turned on for. In my case, I’m getting badges for apps that I’ve turned off, but only in the App Library in the view of a folder. If it’s one of the top three apps in the category, it doesn’t have a badge.

The fact that the iPad floating keyboard is still not working consistently for 3rd party apps in beta 9 is incomprehensible to me.

I thought I was the only one with the jittery keyboard when using a lot of 3rd party apps. It makes using the ipad pretty unusable. Totally unacceptable.

This is an iPadOS 18 bug. Apple has simply ignored it. I wouldn't be surprised if it carries over in 26.0.

Thanks cafe505. So this bar is normal and everyone has it? If so is there any way of turning it off permanently? I find on too many occasions it obscures the view off the text box once you get to the bottom. Especially on MacRumors. As I type now, I can’t see what I’m typing.

I know I can tap the tick and it’ll go away but I don’t want to keep doing this every time.

It’s about to go public in two weeks, what on earth are you talking about? These are the most glaring visual inconsistencies that should’ve never made it this far. QA of Android has been much better these days.

Stop making excuses for incompetence.

Good lord. Calm down. I’m using the latest beta and it feels like a beta that’s close to release.

Also like I said, it seems they’re just releasing the same Buggy beta since beta 7. Same file size and no visual bugs fixed.

File size will only change significantly when they add or remove content.. at this point they are fine tuning the code, which does not noticeably affect the overall size of the entire package.

Anyone else get only icon names flying in when unlocking iPhone sometimes?

Yes, I have been for the last 4 betas. Doesn't happen as frequently like before.

Maybe these apps have to be recompiled for iOS 26?

Of the three betas I installed, this is my least favorite one. Quite a few quirky bugs showing up all of a sudden that weren’t there in beta 8. I hope this is a minor regression before the release candidate coming soon.

 

[James6s]

Do you also get sometimes just the icon names before the icons appear?

Not had that but I’ve seen when scrolling through the home screens that the apps aren’t there and then they quickly appear.

Then your standards are much lower than the rest of us.
You’re entitled to your opinion so good luck with that.

Is there anyone else here on Tesco Mobile in the UK?

Field Test Mode is saying SA but nPerf is saying 5G NSA.
