iOS 26 Beta 9 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[MDTyKe]

Downloading. Have they fixed the bug where when you hold your finger down on text in Spotlight to bring up the magnifying glass loupe to select, that it glows so you can't see what you're selecting?

I can't believe this...

The visual bugs with the app re-draws as well as the app icons turning black upon tapping them when using clear or tinted app icons are still NOT fixed in this beta, wtf apple?

Such clear obvious visual bugs and not prioritized on their end?

Are you referring to Apple apps or dev apps?

Just tested and nope, still there.

Most of the visual bugs/quirks i was annoyed about in b8 are still present in beta 9 (wifi toggles, liquid glass redraws etc)

Yup! The rest of it is as expected. I use dark mode so Safari still needs a decent amount of work

I can't get TapaTalk to work. I've had issues with TapaTalk on every new build on 26. But not this bad.

Update: Working now.

Did they update the app? I remember having a lot of problems with Tapatalk when a new major update was released.

Just noticed that. Good lord, how is this not fixed yet. This really better be fixed for RC, or it's a very, very poor impression.

That said, the Files app FINALLY will turn off in Spotlight, which is very nice. I hated it showing in my Spotlight results, when all I use Spotlight for is to search apps, rather than app content!

Edit: Nevermind... I spoke too soon, it must have been indexing. The content of Files app remains in Spotlight, despite me turning it off. Sigh.

Still have the icon redraw problem when quickly scrolling through home pages. It actually seems worse than the last beta, but most probably because of indexing.

Not happy. 16pro.

May never be fixed, because Apple has that pipeline for everything from photo processing to rendering, the added visual effects may have put a heavy toll on last year's tech so (yeah why not then you'd want the new 17 Pro).

It’s showing Files content even after turning off “Show content in search”?

Please tell me this beta 9 fixes the app re-draw issues and the visual bugs.

Nope

 

[Tokenfreak]

you'd wan

So you saying it may only work right on the latest and greatest iphones? That seems like poor representation since not everyone is going to be upgrading.

 

[s2mike]

Damn, literally every single visual bug that’ve been irking me for the last few betas are still present. Woof.

To add more…

Now I have notifications sound stuttering on my 15PM.

Just noted upon receiving some Whatsapp notifications.

 

[papbot]

Not seeing the app redraws now, but still have the scrolling micro hitches/stutters, especially in Safari. I feel like I'm back on my Pixel phones with their microstutters during scrolling.

Edit: also had Safari lock up and crash within the first 5 min.

Everything redrawing here. No changes in that regard.

Yeah, that really gets at me as well

 

[Braunschweiger]

Graphic glitches still persist. Reported since beta 1.

 

[papbot]

Visual bugs would be fixed in the RC.

Yep same.

 

[MadRed]

Very very disappointing!!!

The attention to details was Apple’s distinguishing attribute from others. That maybe a thing of the past.

 

[papbot]

I guess it's not a show stopper and does not prevent anything from working. I totally agree that this is noticeable and not good UX but as it's not preventing anything from working or causing battery drain (presumably), it's surely down low on the list...

At this point I have to agree.

 

[jfim88]

They have to fix tons of visual glitches in the RC. I have bad feelings now to be honest.

OMG what they are doing?

I mean. Do you know the caller? I've had plenty of spam callers that have caller ID names.

This weird rendering bug in the Weather app where color bands appear at the right side of each weather card has been around since Beta 6 and still present on Beta 9.

Filed a feedback then, and still being left in “open” status. FB19442034
