iOS 27 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Aceroller]

Tested CarPlay for about an hour wireless on B2. Music and phone calls and no disconnects like in B1. Rock solid so far. ◡̈

Anyone else having issues browsing Macrumors website?
It takes a full 5-10 seconds sometimes.

Mine are working - iPhone 17. The notification that there are some appears after a reboot, and they trigger just fine.

Did yours sync and get set to "disabled" (first action in the relevant shortcut)? Worth checking, in case you haven't already.

Went back to double check and they were all enabled so I disabled and re-enabled all of them. It’s now hit or miss. Some work and some don’t. I plan on rebooting tonight, so hopefully that will fix it.

Laggy on Windows too...

Interested to know what the phone does when it Panics

Mine jumped off the table and started to sing " Welcome into the jungle"

Just for info, not as scaremongering.

Had a white screen of death on my 16PM following the restart after update and entering passcode. Taken 30mins to revive.

Did this new auto restore procedure I’ve never seen before.

“Attempting data recovery”

Was this a hard reset (vol up, vol down, hold side button)?

It will send you to restore mode if you hold the side button past the appearance of the Apple logo, unlike previous releases.

14 Pro - stutters while swiping between screens. Restarts did not help.
Exercising patience while things settle will be my course of action.

So whose Battery Health dropped after performing an update 😜

Huh, does this ever happen? Say it ain't so!!! 😛😛😀

 

[HylianKnight]

Not a bit as I always suspected a bug. Which is now resolved on my iPad Pro. 👏

Yeah, mine was “stuck” on 95% for several days and I too suspected a bug. Beta 2 has cleared the indexing message for me.

 

[Banglazed]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it before, you can Force Touch apps, photos, mails (Safari) etc will give you an option to “Ask Siri”. There’s a Siri option in Camera app.

Cleared doesn’t mean it’s finished. It’s just hidden now.

 

[PDXDP]

Is this here from Beta 1? Or is it something now and I can get excited? 🤡

 

[ghostface147]

Volume Swipe broke in beta 2 with AirPods Pro 2

Using current or beta firmware?

Are you thinking of battery charge?

 

[The-Barron]

This is why you shouldn’t (force) restart so soon after an update.

It wasn’t a force restart. It was the standard post update reboot

 

[Travis299]

Feels smoother than b1 but there's a lag when locking the phone.

15PM locks & unlocks samey same.

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

Small thing but the number pad coming up when swiping up after a restart is perfectly smooth whereas it was a janky mess on B1.

 

[thelion7]

Let’s see if this is as stable as b1!

Had it for a few hours and it’s great.

Siri is faster and somehow animations are smoother overall.

Even in low power mode!

Also the dreaded indexing message in settings was present throughout all of beta 1 on my 16 plus.

It completed in a few days on my m3 iPad but the iPhone wouldn’t finish and I installed on the day beta 1 dropped.

Interestingly as soon as I jumped to beta 2 it vanished.

Which makes me wonder was there a bug in beta 1 where it will say it’s indexing indefinitely even if it’s finished?

 

[thelion7]

Good! It was driving me crazy! I hope keyboard behaves better too.

So far my keyboard has been laggy which wasn’t too much of an issue until the last couple of days on beta 1 and still see it after a few hours on beta 2

 

[WildstarBR2020]

Speed looks the same. My 17PM is definitely warmer…

My indexing message was gone when I got up this morning so I don’t think it was a bug.

 

[Rogifan]

Apologies if this has already been asked…which beta will be the public beta? Developer beta 2 or 3? I’ve never put a developer beta on my primary device before but iOS 26 lags and stutters for me and I’ve seen some comments that the current 27 beta is better than 26. I’m sure I’ll wait for the public beta but I’m tempted this year in a way I haven’t been in previous years.

Regarding your last point with the indexing: Pretty pretty sure - yes!

 

[mikecwest]

Anyone have concerns updating before indexing has finished?

mine Is still indexing...I assumed it was a bug. after update, it does not say updating after the update.

 

[DDustiNN]

This is why you shouldn’t (force) restart so soon after an update.

That is complete silly nonsense.
