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

[Jakimo]

Siri routinely has told me one way or the other that it could not process what I wrote (Mac or iPhone), "remind me to.." just didn't work most of the time

This morning, every attempt worked! I'm thinking the backend for these requests has been addressed (and beta 5 hasn't dropped yet) by Apple. Anyone else noticing a better Siri experience this morning, so far?

Started since late last week. Affects both iPad Pro and iPhone Air.
I like to catch YouTube shorts and sometimes click into the full video link in the short. If I pause and then go back later to the full video, both the short and the full will play simultaneously. The short is playing in the background and you cannot get to it unless you close the full. New for this beta.

But it gets better 🫢

If I am playing a vid and shrink it into a PIP window (so far YT and Prime), and then open YT in Safari I can play both vids at the same time. Not always but it is not uncommon.

Call for help: using iOS Mail with gmail (as imap, I think) and the option to delete is not foremost. Just archive. I can’t swipe to delete and within the message archive is the default. I need to open the menu and move to trash to delete. Any advice how to make trash instead of archive the default? (note: the answer doesn’t appear to be writhing iOS mail settings) Thanks!

for gmail, you have to go into your mail accounts, and then account settings, then advanced and its in there.

As @christian.terra mentioned above, go to Advanced Settings for your Gmail account and then select Deleted Mailbox.

Thank you!!! That’s changed behavior and I just didn’t see it.

If you setup gmail account as IMAP, you’ll get Archive as default. If you setup your account as POP3, you’ll get Trash as default.

POP3 is not recommended if you have setup your Gmail account in multiple devices.

If you hold Archive button for 3-4s, you’ll get Trash option as well.

Quite the contrary, Siri is worse than it has ever been, and seems to have become hard of hearing also.

One of my real bugbears (feedback reported) is that it wants the phone to be unlocked for just about any action now.

Which totally defeats the purpose when you’re wearing AirPods with your hands full. Annoys the crap out of me.
