In this thread, I want to focus on iOS 26 visual and UI glitches/inconsistencies that you see across the OS.
All of the following bugs are in iOS 26.2 RC and they’ve also been reported to Apple in the feedback app
This first one has to do with how the toggle button becomes opaque upon doing a second search in the music app
In this video, the search text misaligns with the text box after the animation for a second before it fixes itself.
The word “songs” glitches through the search field because the search field gets stuck if you pull down on the screen.
If you have contact photos off, a strange shadow appears when you dismiss contact information.
Edge highlight animation doesn’t reset itself properly if you open an app before it’s in its default state. If you stay on the Home Screen and stop moving your device, it’s supposed to reset itself to default but if you quickly open an app before it does, it stays stuck until you force your device to move again. Looks ugly.
This one is probably hated by most people. The mini player going completely white is quite annoying especially when the text is already white so everything disappears for a second.
Watch the search icon and the library icon suddenly get a tiny bit larger after you’ve collapsed the full set.
The word “resents” gets misaligned if you’re at the top of the list when you open a file and then dismiss it (Files app)
When a widget is on the Home Screen, it goes blurry for a second when you close it. This doesn’t happen on the widget screen, just the Home Screen.
Small black outline appears around the back arrow in some apps when the back button disappears. Here it’s in the music app but I also spotted it in the App Store app.
Just notification wonkiness. Watch the header text glitch right through the bubble as well as different levels of background blur popping in and out after the animations.
