iOS 27 Beta 6 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Brettka7]

Search bar still phases in & out in Safari Private Browsing

 

[Artemiz]

How long has this been here?

 

[dustin.haley]

anyone else still being notified all the time that there are shortcut automations that recently ran in the background? On b5 it was every few hours and I have gotten this 2 times already since b6 installed.

Same here

I had this in DB5, although lock/unlock always fixed it. I think it was triggered by the Siri pop-up while an app was open.

Not sure if the problem is still here in DB6 or not. I've not been able to trigger yet.

what do you mean by "siri pop-up?" like if you pull siri down while in an app?

 

[Hamsterhjulet]

Yes, on scrolling down the search bar is initially sitting right on top of the keyboard and then jumps slightly up, making a gap. Not sure if this is an intended behaviour or a bug.

I had this bug appearing some time during iOS 26 but it’s was fixed. Now it has returned with iOS 27. It will eventually be fixed I guess.

That setting was around since iOS 16 i think

"hey siri" or long-pressing the power button

"hey siri" or long-pressing the power button

just tried doing both those things and it seems to be okay.. only annoying part is that swiping up doesnt close the siri pop up.

I was able to reproduce the issue when I search for an app and drag the icon to the homescreen.. so i would avoid doing that at all costs in this beta lol.

The 'Reframe' option in Photos is amazing! Worth updating for this alone - I love it!

 

[bamf-hacker]

Still cant start a workout from Shortcuts... Since b5 I get "This action could not be run with the current user interface”

If you want to update via IPSW (like I usually do): Do yourself a favor and install the MobileDevice.pkg from Xcode 27 b5 before you do.... otherwise you'll do it twice because it will fail the first time ;-)

Looks like the black bar in Messages might be fixed. Hoping that also fixes the touch screen issues.

 

[Line_Noise]

Will need to mess with it some more tomorrow, but I think this beta has broken *.home.arpa addresses

Lifting an object or person from a photo has a new animation.

Same animation for me

No indexing this time, i'm sad...

Well as I'm in the EU I still have the 'old' Siri. I'm actually happy with that to be honest, old Siri is stable for setting timers, adding to my shopping list and reminders...the things I actually need it for. The Ai stuff can go to the Claude iOS app, as it did before.

Looks like Apple fixed the IP address leaks with Private Relay in b6 as reported in this article.

Leak checker mentioned in the article no longer shows my public IP.

Huge relief.

Apple iCloud Private Relay Can Expose Real IPs Through WebKit Proxy Bypasses

Researchers say three WebKit features can bypass Apple's iCloud Private Relay and browser proxies, exposing users' real IP addresses on iOS and macOS.

Apple's iCloud Private Relay is Leaking Users' Real IP Addresses

Apple's paid Safari protection feature that promises to keep your IP masked doesn't always work, according to security researchers Tommy Mysk and Talal Haj Bakry. It turns out iCloud Private Relay can expose your real IP to websites that use or pretend to use passkeys. iCloud Private Relay is a...

Can someone confirm if RCS works for them? I’m with ATT and was broken for me since beta 1.

 

[sleep/to/dream]

Not for me.

EDIT: I see that too in the networks list after long-pressing in CC.

I dig it! I think they look more "correct" this way, they match the rest of the control center icons

Edit: Wait have they always been like this? The individual controls are on iOS 26 too, going to use those from now on

 

[Kerching]

Still can't send SMS messages

Other bugs I had - like most with touch issues in Safari have been fixed

Not a user/downloader of Xcode here...I just installed iOS 27 beta 6 via Finder with no issue, but I'm also running macOS 27 beta 5 (my Mac is the final device to update, usually). Typically, the same mobile device support found in Xcode's beta builds are in the corresponding macOS version.

I wonder if we will ever get RCS messaging on Voda uk.
