iOS 27 Beta 5 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Jimmy Bubbles]

I took daily showers with my Series 1 for a year before selling it. Never had a single issue.

Same. I was just making the point of how they ask that as a triage question.

IMHO, it ALWAYS takes till a .4 release to seem polished. But, 26 is such garbage it'll probably never be good. 27 FTW.

26.6 is actually quite good. So much so I’m thinking of staying on it when 27 releases for a few point releases.

Yup. It's a known bug on this beta. Makes navigating YT arduous. Looks like the app is rendering the title bar on top of the UI for some reason. The tabs themselves also do not adhere to the UI tint setting. Kind of a train wreck.

I discovered that using per-site CSS to move webpages down works as a crude (ugly) workaround to the Safari “un-clickable top-bar” bug. Requires a Safari extension like Makeover.

body {
  position: relative;
  top: 25px;
}

Face ID is slow as crap if I leave my phone sitting for a while (~30ish minutes). Takes like 3 seconds. If I do repeat unlocks it is instant like usual. Didn't do this in PB2. iPhone 16 Pro.

seems it's a well reported feedback for this beta, let's hope it gets fixed in the next beta.

Try Settings > Accessibility > Face ID & Attention : and disable it, restart, enable it again et try again

Did not work, unfortunately.

I’m assuming you mean this selector to do route planning. No issues here. 17P

It works on my iPhone 14. That would be a super annoying bug to put up with.

Had a strange one this morning. Picked up after charging my phone overnight and Wifi had switched itself off. I re-enabled, but it wouldn’t stay on (the actual toggle, not just the wifi connection). 😳 I had to restart the phone. Anyone else seen this?

Works fine for me on iPhone 17, even though I don’t believe it is hardware related.

Could your router have rebooted overnight?

I wouldn’t expect it to turn Wifi toggle off on the phone.

Don’t see the point here because iOS 27 will be even more polished then 26.6.
It might be only your feeling with the higher .x release version or probably a fear against the release versions but this year it seems to be all fine with the .0 release in September.

I don’t see that issue on my phone

This is also a lovely fix:

My indexing finished before the percentage showed up 😭

My indexing finished before the percentage showed up 😭

Me too, finished in a few minutes after updating DB5, but this crap is back today. Last time, the percent version of indexing broke all searching for many of us (settings app and more)

Anyone else had the option of choosing 48MP in camera settings disappear using 17PM on this build?

Goodness knows why they’ve never created the option of leaving it on 48MP as default setting.

Yes, since the first beta on my Air, so annoying, been hoping every beta it comes back. Reported it so many time as well.

 

[brilliantthings]

Not loving beta 5. So many new annoying little bugs.

Just woke up now with 80% which is normal because I have the battery limiter set to that. I did a restart and the phone somehow went up to 97%. Never seen this one before, happened on iPhone 15 plus with 92% BH.
