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

[john991]

Worked for me.

Changing region to US English along with changing Siri to US English solved my issue.

Looks to be a US only option for health data and Siri.

Just asked it and got this.

I asked it differently. “How many grams of protein does one pound of chicken have?”

You are asking about protein though. Not weight of the chicken. Haha. So one pound of chicken is not going to always equal out to exactly a gram of protein every time.

Worked for me.

Oh nice, didn’t think to look there. Thanks 🙏

Anyone else notice their Messages in iCloud not syncing? Last time it synced was when I manually triggered it before moving to 27 beta. I wonder if it’s connected to the Indexing? Are others seeing this?

Absolutely bizarre bug with taking photos. There is this Crestron tablet at work that controls a meeting room - I can not take a photo of it. I can take photos all around the room, but as soon as I point the camera at that screen and take a photo, it just doesn't go into my camera roll.

Or so I thought - a few minutes later, it appears as a 3 second video. It's so odd. As soon as I take a photo that includes that screen, it just doesn't appear for a while and then comes up as a video 😅

I also find that if I take a screenshot on my iPhone or iPad, and crop it before it saves to the camera roll, that crop doesn't actually save - you just get the full screenshot.

Submitted feedback for both.

Lucky me!!

I had one of my test devices start if a few days later… also no indexing will throw up weird new Siri or speech results

Mine took 2 days to start indexing… and still on going. And no Siri for me too.

the rollout of new Siri as no actual pattern apparently. installed the beta on my wife's phone yesterday. she got new Siri a few hours later. one of my apple accounts is still waiting from day one/ my actual developer account got new Siri after a day

 

[Ethan.Albano]

Another weird bug: the App Store keeps pulling old app versions when I refresh for new updates?

 

[Marvin_nz]

Has anyone with new Siri swapped what version of English they are using? When I have tried it’s just gone back to old Siri and stays there

Update: Seemed to have worked fine, but it didn’t until I changed the language on all of my devices, if I changed the language on one device it broke Siri on all devices on my Apple account.

I got access this morning at 1:30am. I signed up couple hours after the beta was announced. I’m based in the UK and using the iPhone Air.

One thing I’ve noticed is that writing tools have completely disappeared. Anyone else having a similar issue? I really wanted to play around with the automatic proofreading feature.

This happened to me many times over the last few days, and I didn't think to land on what was happening because of busyness. Today, I distinctly identified the same issue several times. I'd like to use your report number to echo the bug report. May I have that?

I'm also noticing longer documents, perhaps past five or six pages, don't complete printing. Happened to me a few times today - although this was from Golden Gate primarily

I'm realizing now, on second thought, that I had printing problems with iOS 27 also; these were likely all things that I photo'd and went on to crop before printing. So, probably the same problem as what you've mentioned originally (crops not finalizing correctly)

 

[mizxco]

Just noticed that Maps has changed how you calculate arriving at a later date and time. You have to select the small “Options” button at the top to get to it.

I just wish new Siri works so well, it'll help you sort out all these navigating options, avoiding tolls etc.

 

[mizxco]

I wonder if that is related to the old keyboard being removed in iOS 27.

I hope it forced them to adopt it like mandating the corner radius for 3rd party apps on Mac.

 

[one more]

One thing I’ve noticed is that writing tools have completely disappeared. Anyone else having a similar issue? I really wanted to play around with the automatic proofreading feature.

It might be that your device language is not set to English? I have an iPad set to English and iPhone to French and writing tools were showing up on the iPad and not on the iPhone. Once I changed iPhone’s language to English (UK), same as my iPad, the writing tools icon appeared on the iPhone too.

Yeah no worries: FB23062425

Took a few times for me to realise what was going on too 😅

 

[drypuri]

to people asking wheather stable enough, I am using it on 15 PM and very stable and still indexing and waiting for new SIRI, I am in UK installed few hours after beta became available. Did normal update and not clean install.

It is very stable, and I did restart couple of times only because of my watch se was not connecting.

 

[ZZuglug]

Anyone experiencing slightly warped faces when taking a selfie that includes full faces with the front facing camera? I’m on an 17 Pro. The warping doesn’t appear to happen if the camera app does not detect a full face.

Edit: after some more investigation, it doesn’t appear to be a problem with the camera app as I’ve discovered old selfies are all being shown with warped edges.

 

[tong_si_nan_pei]

Unable to add medication in the Health app. Submitted feedback, ID FB23089332.

 

[d245770q]

Anyone get Siri to access health data?

Try Siri how many steps did i do yesterday? Or anything similar.

I get “i can’t help you with that.”

I health app Siri is enabled to access health.

Same for me!
