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

[klasma]

Mine too but the glassy outline popping in after app closure is driving me crazy and so killing all my good feelings about iOS 26 (like the speed-up app opening animations and the general look that I really like).

To me it looks like they are lacking a solid UI framework basis to make that kind of visual design seamless. It’s very apparent that they have to work with bolting on stuff and adding layers on top of each other with leaky abstractions. Probably lots and lots of special-case coding to implement what the graphical designers cooked up.

Hopefully it fixes the overheating I had on my 16PM

Mine too (16 Pro). I can't reproduce this app icon redraw thing that some are complaining about. iOS 26 has felt pretty much like a release version since beta 8. No CarPlay issues, either.

Can you reproduce this issue when you set the new Liquid Glass clear app icons theme and you tap on an app it flickers black for a second and if you tap on a widget it also flickers to the default theme for a second then when you return to the Home Screen it’s dark for 1 second before returning to clear?

I don’t remember the app icons flying out like this before when you swipe down Notification Center.

iOS having way too many bugs for being this late in the testing cycle. Google killing third party ROMS and forcing Gemini on its users. Microsoft nuking SSDs over a bad update they let AI write the drivers for....this entire industry has really gone downhill.

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?

These betas are about getting API issues ironed out. The GM will deal with everything else.

Installing betas expecting everything to be working flawlessly is not realistic, best to wait for the final release, but even then it’s likely to still have rough edges. It’s just how it is. Always has been.

The design is pretty much done now, the rc won’t have major design changes

Scrolling in safari is still stuttery

You guys forgot that they changed the whole design language !
It’s most likely like back in times where they released iOS 7 !
And it’s way better than this !
So keep calm and live with it for a while - it will most likely get fixed.
Somewhere in the future!
As many said already in 26.1 or so.

weird visual glitch on apple music. haven’t seen this on other betas

But you are not complaining about the design, you are complaining about bugs. Bugs are normal in betas. My point is if you try betas don’t be frustrated if things aren’t 100% polished yet.

Also this is the biggest design change on iOS since iOS 7. It’s understandable things are not yet fully nailed down.

That’s been there for me for the last few betas. Hate it.

Public beta is taking longer than usual to drop!

 

[ManuCH]

They also didn't fix the fact that on the Apple Watch, notifications that you have read will eventually disappear by themselves, even without clearing them manually. I have reported that using Feedback Assistant on beta 7 and it was acknowledged as having "more than 10" similar reports.

Maybe PB is gonna released tomorrow or maybe no new PB - would be strange but it’s a possibility

 

[Banglazed]

Public beta is out

 

[James6s]

Public beta is here…

What phone?

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.

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

Seems to be working fine for me as I'm using it right now to reply to your post.

3 months of beta testing and years of apple r and d and liquid glass ui the only real change of iOS 26 and it’s still buggy and not fully liquid glass everywhere. Apple messed up again and didn’t deliver, last 3 betas didn’t fix anything or change anything

When was the last time you were actually happy with something Apple did?
