Safari is absolutely annoying. Anytime I change app and return to safari, the page where I was will ALWAYS reload and any other opened on any another tab. Horrible and this is not of this beta only.
Safari has always behaved this way in betas, the memory management isn't fully optimized and Safari is one of the apps the OS will nuke first because it takes a good amount of memory.

Mine has been doing the same thing on 27 PB when on 26 I could leave tabs opened for hours in the background and when I would launch Safari it would still be in memory. So I am sure it is just a beta thing,

Other Safari question - do you have the ability to open a Private browsing window? I just noticed that mine is missing the option on both the long press icon menu and the tab switcher window where it used to be at the bottom.
 
In this beta, the entire notification panel has switched to English, and sometimes the notification summary is also in English, even though my device is set to Spanish. Opening Control Center on the home screen is also difficult because it always opens Spotlight at the same time. Otherwise, it's a stable and solid beta so far. And this is before we're even in the actual bug fix and stability cycle, which will begin with the weekly update from DB5.
 
what bug?
Alphanumeric PIN combined with an ISO/non-us keyboard layout can't unlock the iPad. tested on a brand new restore and multiple reinstalls, reboots, forced reboots. Not sure if those are specifics or not, but Apple was aware of it, my feedback is showing more than 10 similar reports
 
Yep, just get ready for it disappearing again once you are back in the EU. The Siri AI chatbot app will stay on after your return, it just won’t work any longer. Triggering Siri AI from the DI will no longer work either. Basically, your Siri will jump back to its rosy iOS 26 version.

In the positive side, next time you get out of the EU, it will work again.
Yeah, I’m aware of that. 🙂
 
Asked Siri to add series of calendar events based on a schedule from a photo.

It did, however, the “all” option which should have listed all of the events, I suppose, only lists the closest one.

Yes I do have private browsing on iPhone 12 Pro.
 
I asked Siri to add a reminder, it cut me off midway through my sentence.

I told it a few times it didn’t let me finish. I also start a new session asking it to show me my reminders for tomorrow, thinking I’d be able to tweak the one that cut off.

It said something went wrong. Let me remind you Siri was released 15 years ago.

The sheer incompetence in one of the most influential and rich companies is striking.

Siri was released 15 years ago, but this new Siri can't be more than a few years old in Alpha. We are just now seeing the Beta. I am not defending Apple in any way. They have both the resources and talent to get this right. We are just the guinea pigs on this beta. Get all of us to do their testing. I am willing to bet it gets better over the next few weeks before its actual release.

But the errors haven't changed.

I have shortcuts that read things out, or if I ask Siri to tell me my reminders or what's in my calendar etc.

Some examples (all logged in Feedback):

Text: Meet my friend Xi for coffee
Siri: Meet my friend eleven for coffee

Text: You walked 1,968 steps so far today
Siri: You walked nineteen sixty-eight steps so far today

Text: You walked 1626 steps
Siri: You walked once and six hundred and twenty six steps

That last one ... just what was Siri thinking?
 
Once it's in Siri mode, it's seems screwy to have to push the button again to complete the action. Press. "Text to Jane Doe." "What do you want to say?" Press. "Meet you at 10:15."
