iOS 27 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Iced]

Have the same on my phone. Could imagine that it is some kind of battery saving behaviour? Not sure. It doesn’t look that nice. Let’s see how it turns out over the upcoming betas.

I hope so, but Apple don’t seem too concerned themselves.

Just tried and search works well in my Gmail app

Same here

Anyone daily driving this on an Air? How is it vs iOS 26 and is battery life acceptable?

Has anyone on Verizon ever seen encrypted RCS when texting Android contacts? I have still never seen encrypted RCS working.

Yes. I have had it since iOS26.x (can't remember the point). I have had it with numerous carriers, though it took time for all of them to go to encrypted RCS.

I can say that on 26.6 it doesn’t. I did record a video to test.

no idea how Apple can mark the iOS 27 freezing as expected behaviour lol

This is a new one. Can't swipe it away either - just bounces back.

I occasionally had those on iOS 26 too, maybe once a month or so.

Driving it on an Air and have to say the battery is sparse. Can’t say if 26 was better as I have had it on betas most times.

I got 3 hours SOT on Sunday before I had to recharge. DB1 - DB3 were great, so I'm hoping DB5 helps my battery.

Reset network settings and you should be able to send RCS texts to your mom again. I have the issue where I receive RCS but send SMS to one of my contacts the beginning of the month. Resetting network settings always restores RCS both ways on iOS 26. I suspect I will have the same issue with iOS 27.

With iOS 27 when the contact on Android with MetroPCS regained the ability to send RCS I was able to reply back on Verizon with RCS. I did not have to reset network settings that I had to do on a monthly basis with iOS 26 to this one contact to send text as RCS not SMS.

Just got it too - weird! Gearing up for DB 5 maybe?

Yes, but have you actually read it all thoroughly, including the privacy text at the bottom? Siri AI is keeping an eye on you, and doesn't believe you have 😁

Interestingly, or maybe not, I got that in the UK, but it only mentioned the bold design, the other two bullet points were not included.

I noticed that in someone else’s screenshot too. Wondered if it was related to whether you have the full new Siri or not.

New Siri here, and got the full list of exciting new features cynical old me will never use.
