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

[Jakimo]

Siri finally dropped for me about an hour ago!

In my first uses, it doesn't always dismiss after responding - it'll spin on top indefinitely and not respond to new requests until I fling it out. I'll have to dig into some of the Siri threads, now that I'm in..

The morning after installing, my indexing appeared completed. Then later that same day, it started up again - and hasn't finished yet on its round two.. seems stuck?

The old Siri did that too. It was a setting that was something like "followup". Sometimes it would get stuck. The way to dismiss Siri - just say "thank you", "that is all", or even "go away".

Or it may be a bug, in which case just fling away.

Did you leave your phone on the entire time? I always power off at night. Probably why mine still isn’t done. I installed immediately after Keynote.

the advise about indexing from apple is to leave it turned on and plugged in as much as possible. so maybe leave it on at night . ( also never ever seen anyone say they turn their phone off at night - well not since the time of dumb phones

I’m no longer on the waitlist, the barrier has been moved and I am in the door! In the UK with English UK settings, still indexing

Is anyone experiencing issue where 3 dots you click in upper right corner of Apple Wallet for Apple Cash to add or transfer money is missing?

Not too thrilled with quite a bit of the design changes. I absolutely hate that they replaced iOS 26's blurred navigation bars when scrolling with the harder "pre-iOS 26" backgrounds. Would be nice to have at least an option for this.

This. ⬆️ Just updated and the solid nav bars are jarring. Everything in the UI is bubbly and round and distinct except for giant linear slabs of blur at the top now? This feels like a step back…

Off the waitlist sometime around 2am as well

Anyone’s Calendar drunk, whenever I open it up it starts from June 2024!?!?!?

Pressing Today does nothing.

Yup. Bug filed.

Weather app is taking forever to load. Maybe caching is wrong

I also got off the the waitlist overnight. Indexing still going strong 🤠

I have Meross MS110 plugs, only showing 0.00KW though in Home on appliances turned on, shows usage in the Meross app in real time but not in Home.

I’ve got two of those, hopefully Meross will update the firmware so it is visible to Home. I’ve now got more of the IKEA plugs as well, hopefully they will work as cuttingly I can’t get any energy info from them.

Indexing theory: I’m wondering if the long indexing times are due to Apple now including photo indexing in the overall process, rather than treating it as a separate process in the Photos app? With previous OSs my photo indexing has usually taken a couple of days, with the People feature taking even longer - but the message about this progress was hidden away in the photos app.

New Apple Pay animation 👌🏻

I installed the beta, but as an EU citizen I have now seemingly lost all Apple Intelligence in iOS27. Is this correct? Can anybody corroborate this?

Yes old Apple Intelligence is replaced by new Siri.

You will need to change your region to bypass the EU geolock.

FWIW, the standard (pre-iOS 26) Apple Intelligence is now enabled automatically on all my eligible EU devices, without the option to disable it, as we had before.

I’m probably nearing 50+ hours of waiting (and indexing) myself, tbh I’ve lost count at this point. 🙃

Don't know why people keep relating approvals with indexing. Mine is still indexing and I was approved for the new Siri in the first night.

Indexing is because of the new index system in iOS27. Siri AI is another thing. Despite the new Siri takes advantage of the new index system.

you haven't lost all Apple Intelligence - it will simply stay/fallback on the old Siri with the glowing edges and writing tools after it has finished downloading.

region change will not help alone - you will need a non-EU - preferably a US based (US billing address) Apple Account (AppStore) - but Switzerland and UK will allow to get on the waitlist too.

Pretty sure this is new to 27, in Apple Wallet it now lets me see scheduled payments

 

[adrianlondon]

You can change that in the weather settings.

Thanks for that. Shame the option isn't there on MacOS (yet).

Weird. I even changed the region and language, but Apple Intelligence has disappeared for me. I'll investigate further.

Can someone confirm that you should be able to get Siri AI working on a phone in the EU if you set the region to USA and the language to English? This workaround worked on the iOS 26.0 betas (if I remember correctly)

Yeah I agree. Just sharing that I’m still dealing with both in tandem is all. Nothing’s changed yet for me, but hopefully I get off that waitlist soon! 🤞🏻

It’s been almost 60 hours and still indexing. Every night connected to the charger.
