iOS 27 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[adrianlondon]

WiFI issue (resolved)

Despite working all day yesterday, earlier this morning I noticed my phone hadn't connected to my WiFi.

I rebooted my router to no avail. Then I noticed my Mac (also on 27) wasn't reconnecting to my WiFi even though it was fine right before I rebooted the router.

So I clicked to connect on my Mac and got a message saying that the security had changed from WPA2/WPA3 to WPA3 only (or words to that effect). I clicked "yeah, sure, stop complaining" and it connected fine. A few seconds later, my phone also connected.

Could have been a minor modem/router upgrade pushed by my provider, or a bug in iOS/MacOS 27. I do know that my config has been WPA3 only for months, so unsure really what triggered this.

Ok indexing done overnight I guess. Still no new Siri.

How long did it take?

You did anything differently to enhance the process?

 

[gardiboy]

Anyone still encounter the “after u swipe up to home screen and between pages lag or stutter”?

Lovin it.

Thanks for posting this. All I’ve seen before were screens of the lock screen option for the minimalist clock. This is the first I’ve seen the actual lock screen.

I actually sent this to Apple a suggested upgrade, probably with a million other people. I like the options for the big clocks, but sometimes I don’t want a huge clock covering a background.

My phone has been indexing for roughly 24 hrs now, 16 hrs of it plugged in (while asleep, and while at work). I wonder if it will finish anytime soon lol

Here’s an odd one… light mode has a few app icons in the App Library missing (in the Social and Other folders), but they show up normally in dark mode

Started when I first installed the beta, around 9 am yesterday. Who knows what time it ended overnight, but I went to bed at 12 am and it was still going.

Looks like my iPhone SE will follow yours. My iPad and 15 pro took very little time to index.

 

[fatTribble]

I don’t think so. Apple Intelligence and Siri is now just Siri. I thought, at first, then turning off Siri would turn off Apple Intelligence but it still seems active in apps like Mail with summaries.

Also there was no option to disable Apple Intelligence on install like we’ve had in the past. I guess it’s too baked in now to have an off switch?

Thanks for this. I’ve been very curious what options there would be about Siri and Apple Intelligence.

I hoped AI could be controlled at the app level but definitely wishful thinking.

I’ve wondered (before the beta) if you could turn off AI and then basically get the classic Siri. Yes, many would groan at that.

Just my own opinion, I think there are many people who would still like a voice assistant but without all of the AI. It seems now that Siri and AI are closely tied or even inseparable.

Out of curiousity has anyone with the Air got the new Siri yet? I've only seen those with 17 Pro/Pro Maxs saying they got it

Still in indexing, still on the waitlist, 20 hrs for both. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The indexing notification states "Longer charging sessions help indexing go faster." so I think I'll leave it plugged in today to see if it completes.

Also wonder if the new Siri won't activate until AFTER the initial indexing completes.

does iOS 27 still have the ridiculous liquid glass playback buttons introduced in ios26?

Spoiler: picture

I was trying to figure out an issue with wifi since updating to 27 and ut turns out Auto Join was turned off for some reason... I definitely didn't turn it off since it's my main home network.

i’m using 15 pm 🥹

 

[RSmith2023]

You sent pictures as sms?

No. I sent within the Message app. (as I stated?) (Don't think I mentioned SMS anywhere)

A few CarPlay changes I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere else yet:

View attachment 2636731
The dock, as well as widgets in Split View, are significantly more translucent. Not a huge fan of that.


View attachment 2636732
Apps now have the same opening and closing animation as on iPhone! Big fan of that change.

Nah, I like the change. It makes it feel more iOS-like. CarPlay on 26 felt disjointed, when it even worked.

 

[LutzRFrank]

can't hep myself ... after having made it out of the waitlist and everything runs surprisingly smooth ... even with the clean look of the "New Siri", I miss the glowing edges of the previous Siri ... sigh

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

1033 apps, 62,000 pics, 5200 vids...can't wait to see how long my indexing takes! 😀 😀

Rookie numbers. 🤣

852 apps, 165,586 photos, 2,181 vidoes, 56,685 songs

…still indexing on the morning of day 3.

What is up with Feedback Assistant?

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

Anyone test out CarPlay yet?

Wired CarPlay in my Jeep worked just fine. I didn’t drive anywhere super far to really test navigation though (someone else mentioned it crashed on them).

 

[Parowdy]

Ok this is a strange one.
Apparently the beta profile has been spontaneously removed from my iPhone.
I can’t even file feedback anymore.
And I didn’t restart my phone once since the update in order to not disturb the indexing. Weird and very frustrating.

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

Works for me.

Flat for me.

Major hillsides/severe elevation changes are 3D, just not buildings.

 

[Parowdy]

What is up with Feedback Assistant?

What’s you’re problem? Can’t lock in? See in settings if iOS 27 beta updates are even available anymore because they aren’t for me and I can’t lock into feedback as well.

You can submit feedback for this so it can be improved. Since it's a beta, it's fluid so if we don't like how something works Apple change it to how it used to be.

I did. 🖐️
