Did you had the DB3 installed before or is the DB4 you start with iOS 27?

Nice, my search bar in my Settings app is functional again for the first time in about a week and a half!

I’ve had them all.

How long has this been a feature? Animated birthday banner when calling someone on their birthday.

I noticed it last beta. Apparently it was there in 26. And apparently I never called anyone on their birthday 🫥

Indexing message gone after only one day this time 🙂

same here, gone in one day

 

[christian.terra]

its a little suspicious that everyone's indexing message disappeared around the same time lol

Did anyone in the UK do the update last night then all of a sudden get o2 5G+ (SA) I don’t know if it’s related to beta4 or a huge coincidence that o2 activated SA in my area last night

Yes me, based in Lancashire

iPhone 17 PM done indexing. iPad mini says 18%. iPad Pro m5 doesn’t have a percentage. All updated at the same time.

Indexing took 6 days for me on DB3 but it’s already done on DB4 (26 hours since updating).

It’s pretty hefty how big the OS itself (with the AI data) got over the past years. More than 60 Gb on my phone.

Not sure if it is different depending on the model a person has. Mine is iOS: 25.44GB, System Data: 15.52GB on 16PM.

Stop polluting the thread with these indexing posts again. There’s a dedicated thread for it. Use it.

It’s nonsensical to keep bringing it up for every beta.

Indexing still in progress. Is this “normal”?

I’m on a 15 Pro Max. Installed iOS 27 as soon as it was available. So it’s been about 23 hours and my phone still shows that it’s indexing. Also on a side note, I am still in the Siri waitlist. Which I am thinking might have to do with the indexing not being done.

Are keyboard predictions super buggy for anyone else? Prediction bar just flickers whenever I'm typing and doesn't actually show any suggestions, I ended up turning it off for now.

 

[Hamsterhjulet]

Keyboard still flickers for a second whenever Control Center is dismissed with keyboard showing. Happens everywhere throughout iOS.

Yep, and when this occurs my AutoCorrext and spellcheck stop working entirely

Update: still three disconnects during about a two-hour drive.

Again with the CarPlay! This is the last reason I waited to upgrade to iOS 26, which was all the way to June = 9 months after release.

introduced in 27 as part of call context

 

[nortonandreev]

So any ideas why they pulled all of the content down on the now playing sheet and left so much empty space on top?

Bug? The new upcoming form factor of the foldable iPhone?

Or just for easier reach?

 

[LiquidGlassfan]

Sorry if this has been answered but how long till we can expect the second PB?

Probably in around 8 days time. In last year's beta cycle, the PB was generally release 3 days after the DB but since the last PB was released last wednesday (i think) it would be logical to assume that the next PB will come two weeks after the first PB.

 

[iLuddite]

you clearly have no idea what a beta is. please consider not using beta releases

Pot meet kettle

Pot meet kettle

I left Reddit’s iOSBeta sub and returned to Macrumors because it became toxic. Looks like I wasn’t the only one, because this site is trending the same direction now.

Why are all of my fellow nerds so angry? 😂

At least on PB/DB3, wired CarPlay seems to "time out" and disconnect if not playing any media after about 10-15 min. If playing something, it stays connected just fine. Anyone seeing similar and/or has this been fixed in DB4?

My wife’s birthday was last Friday and I noticed with Beta 3

It’s because we all must have installed it at around the same time too. 😉
