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

[TimFL1]

Just to be clear, Apple Intelligence (powered with Gemini) works in EU, but not New Siri/Siri AI?

Someone from Norway claims they could get to the waitlist with English UK language. I asked for clarification, should probably find articles about this eventually (if true).

I would still like more transparent Liquid Glass.

This is super smooth. It doesn't feel like a beta release.

Expressive Voices Preview not available for British voices - none available, can't turn it on.

Is the lower setting less than the default iOS 26 Liquid Glass, also does the new sharper icons also change 3rd party ones

I was hoping they would let us replace Siri with a third-party like Gemini

If you delete an app from your Home Screen, it doesn't move the other icons to fill the gap.

It does for me, try rebooting your phone?

I have the new Siri in the EU, using an US AppleID just for Media&Purchases.

Also, just to be clear, Norway is not part of the EU.

So the type to Siri double-tap gesture does nothing now. The type to Siri control center widget works though.

Works fine for me, just tried it.

But... Siri use Gemini ! 😮

Seems like the dynamic icon highlights everyone hated have gone away. I’ve tried a few different wallpapers to be sure they weren’t hidden by colors or brightness.

Sure, Norway is not a member of the EU. So Siri UI is available there (in English) starting today.

I wondered why everything looked better.

Yup only on 12 Ram devices

For people done with the waitlist - are your phones still indexing?

Settings has a helpful dialogue box. Also, when ya'll crop a screenshot does it save correctly? 😅

No screenshot then cut saves the full version. I’ve reported this

I won’t be installing until the public beta but I hope iOS 27 isn’t like 26 where all anyone did was complain about Liquid Glass.

They more or less did under the hood

Hopefully those complaining can just slide it to liquid ass and the rest of us can use tinted 🙂

 

[LutzRFrank]

Did the toggle for Apple Intelligence disappear just for me? I mean it’s on but there’s no way to turn it off…?
Also the old trick with switching language and region to the US didn’t work - no Siri AI waitlist for us I guess 🙁

It’s pretty weird. Don’t get the Apple Logic… on Mac I only changed Location and Language to EN US and got waitlisted. On iPad and iPhone I had to change AppStore to non-EU
To get on the wait list

PB2 is usually the primo-update. Around Mid-August.

 

[Ingo Brocksom]

I used it on my iPhone 16.

I’ve had it on my iPhone 15 pro but it’s greyed out not sure when it can be used

Since updating to iOS27 beta I have a message badge that will not go away. I have no unread messages. I’ve turned badges off, did a restart, and turned it back on…no luck.

Also asked Siri to read all unread messages. Also no luck. Any tips?
