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

[bricktop_at]

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 even updated to macOS 27 beta 6 after the first failed iOS update and after the second failed attempt I installed the MobileDevice.pkg - update then worked fine after this. iPhone 17PM by the way

Do you have a screenshot? Can’t see anything wrong on any of my devices… 🤔

This:

Still can't send SMS messages

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

Unfortunately it sounds like you’ll just have to reset network settings.

This one has been super smooth, no clear bugs as of yet and keyboard seems a little more responsive on DB6. That was the only thing I’d say was a complaint of mine on DB5.

A month more of these polishes and I’m really looking forward to the RC and how much they are going to be able to optimize iOS 27

I was worried when DB5 took 3 weeks and had all these issues with message pins and tapping on top of screen elements in other apps. But this one seems good. Keep them coming.

Already tried that several times with B5... I suspect I might have to wait for the release version and then do a fresh install. But I haven't been able to send an SMS since I installed B5. iMessage works fine

I’ve given up on this one. It’s not going to get fixed.

A good beta, all of my previously reported bugs were fixed.

The two new ones (reported) are:

1) The inverted WiFi signal strength icons in the Control Centre, like this:



2) A “jumping” search bar in Spotlight search, like so:

To be honest, if you hadn't pointed out the “jumping” search bar in Spotlight search bug, I'm not sure I'd ever have spotted it. I'm completely fine with small visual bugs like this.

The spotlight search bug was previously there just not as apparent.

Even though I have “Show Recent Searches” toggled OFF, I still see recent searches when swiping down to invoke Siri.

Looks like they boosted the alarm volume quite a bit. I could actually hear it from the other room. And loudly.

This weird “fade” animation for the Look Around button in maps is still present. Was introduced on DB4.

Agreed. I was getting the odd lag on my keyboard and little stutters when switching apps.

All gone for now.

AirTags all still showing address unavailable in find my.

AirTags all still showing address unavailable in find my.

Not for me - they all show correctly, location details included.

And, I now can use my Magic Keyboard to type on my iPad again!

Thank goodness…

 

[klasma]

I put mine in the freezer and it updated yesterday.

That’s what they must mean by “feature freeze”.

AirTags all still showing address unavailable in find my.

Must be specific to you (and others with same problem). I had that in the past where it was only a few of us having a find my issue.

I don't see house numbers in Find My unless I click the 3 dots under the contact, but then it provides it.

FaceID is working perfectly again!

FaceID is working perfectly again!

It sure is very quick the way that it should be. I am happy.

How/Where is the WiFi icon inverted in this pic?

 

[MakaniKai]

No longer having issues with messages header bar overlapping pinned conversations, nor the problem where the bar to swipe up to exit an app would disappear.

If you look at the signal strength bars, the bottom ones are empty and the upper ones are full.
