If you had seen my original message the previous poster was referring to, you would see that it begins with:

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

My role as a beta tester is to find as many bugs and imperfections as possible and report them to Apple, so when the final iOS release goes to the general public, it can indeed become “an awesome release once optimised and polished!”. So, the way I see it, I am actually doing my part in helping Apple with optimising and polishing. 😉

As someone who usually waits until a final, stable, polished release: Thank you. This year, with a new M5 mac, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to wait until 27.2 to upgrade…

lets see if everyone's optimizing/indexing message goes away at the same time again

How’s talking about indexing still a thing?

There are actual bugs we can discuss besides this one tiny message that’s going to show up after every update. It’s a useless, dumb thing that Apple should never have implemented. Everyone was fine with “ongoing device setup” in the battery section.

Let’s move on to something that actually affects usage.

How? Exposing yourself to it while doing something pleasant to make that pavlovian association?

Well for example lotus pods were terrible for me. They still make my skin crawl a little, but not nearly as much as before. My ex-wife's godmother had some in her backyard and at first it startled me, but then I just got used to it because of overexposure. Honeycombs never bothered me, but some things still do. But for sure it has lessened over the years and like all phobias, some have it worse than others.

Yeah, honeycombs don’t trigger me either. Also they are hexagons, not circles. Ebola or smallpox pustules on the other hand… (I know, extreme cases).

Interesting. How did you install Beta 6 (OTA/IPSW) and what was your iPhone running before (iOS 26 or Beta 5)?
Click to expand...
OTA . I got the 16e at the start of Beta 4 and I set it up from the start running the Beta because it was the only way at the time to get the EQ feature for my AirPods Pro 2 because I use them as hearing aides

Would agree here. We shouldn’t be worried about this message.

Anyone else notice how the text shadows now appear ON TOP of the icons on the Home Screen? Minimize a white app such as calendar and watch when it stops. You’ll see the bottom of the icon get slightly darker like the text shadow is popping in on top.

Also, slide to power off is now Liquid Glass.

Had a recent issue (last beta) where my iPhone could not find my Chevy Colorado.
In this beta it can see the Colorado but is unable to connect to it.
I did the reboot, hard reboot, verify the Colorado was on the latest and greatest.
I was sitting in the Colorado while attempting this.
I’ll try it with the Edge when the wife gets home.

If anyone else has a Colorado (2026) and can connect kindly let me know.

Tried the Air on the Edge (Ford Edge ST 2022) which it has worked with in previous betas (minus the drops).
I get the same error with both the Colorado and Edge. It can see both vehicles but errors out on connect.
 
One iPadOS 27 bug that has persisted is that, when using Windowed Apps multitasking mode, if you open the Messages app the dock will disappear regardless of how far away it is to the bottom of the screen. Moving the mouse down to the bottom of the screen will cause the dock to pop up, but it goes right back down. Doesn't happen with any other apps. Just Messages.

That just happened to me, as well. I had to delete the account and re-add it. Working fine now.

Well, working mainly fine… exchange emails don’t seem to be properly pushing. I’ll open the Mail app and suddenly a few emails will appear from several minutes ago.

Never had any Mail-related issues this entire beta cycle but here we are…

UPDATE: a combination of setting my Exchange account to “Fetch” for a few seconds and then back to “Push”, as well as toggling Airplane Mode off/on, seems to have things working normally.

iPad Pro 11 M4 with MKB and AirPods Pro 2
YouTube

If you have a video/movie playing and it pauses (iPad goes to sleep), on awakening, the keyboard controls do not work. You have to use screen controls to continue watching. Once that is done, keyboard controls work just fine.

Control: Spacebar for play/pause, arrow keys to move forward/back.

UPDATE: if I forego the AirPods, the MKB works as expected. It is the APP that is creating the error.
