iOS 27 Beta 7 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[QuarterSwede]

Just updated my iPhone Air from iOS 26.6.1 and it's alright.

The phone is maybe slightly faster, but nothing dramatic, like I wouldn't have noticed unless someone told me it's supposed to be faster. 🤷🏻‍♂️

At least all my apps work fine, including banking. Hope I notice other improvements as I keep using the phone.

That makes sense. 26.6.x is a great release and I was finding it hard to believe anything was faster (at least on a newer device). It's already keeping up with me and the battery life is stellar.

Wi-Fi Calling is not working with EE UK.

Yes it is. Well it is on my iPhone 17 Pro.

My Home widget disappeared from CC after the update.

Also, swiping closed an App while you have the keyboard up results in a really janky delay in dropping the keyboard after the app has been closed. Been there for some time and still not fixed in B7.

Is this a new bug?!? The app update number isn’t in a red bubble nor is it on Home Screen?

Seeing the same on other apps too. Discord, for example, badges not working.

This version feels fast

Indexing message is back on my Air.

Loving this release… you can swipe, scroll, open apps as fast you want, type as fast as you can and there is no hint of any sort of lag or dodgy animations etc 👌🏻

Vodafone RCS stays weird … after the update, no 5G+, RCS is fully enabled (even the Encryption Beta). In b5 and b6 - after 5G+ kicks in - it’s gone … let’s see what b7 does.

Confirmed by Apple

EU/German user… no new Siri 🙁

quick unrelated question: for an EU-user, is the Clean up tool in Photos the one from iOS 26, or is it gone entirely?
Thanks!

Did we all get the indexing message back? Mine was showing for 24hrs when I installed beta 6, see how long it lasts this time.

Performance, thermals & battery life improved once it finished.

I’m in the UK and the cleanup tool is there, and it’s far better than the one in iOS 26.

Yes, everything from 26 stays on, also expanding on the new Photos features (Extend and Reframe):

UK is anyway not affected by EU Siri/AI related restrictions.

Ok. Good! 😃

The capital "A" signifies an initial .0 release, and the small "a" represents how many times the build was compiled. The fewer times a build is compiled, the more stable and ready for release it is.

As a software developer that explanation is worrying. Compilation is deterministic - you feed the same source into the same compiler and you should get identical output. If they have to compile multiple times to get it working then they have big problems. There must be more to it than that.

Happy with this beta 7 compare to the others below 7. Battery standby is miles ahead on my AIR and i'm happy with that.

Does anyone in EU-and-not-in-the-UK know if the Clean up tool in iOS 27 is the one from iOS 26 or gone entirely? Thanks again!

No, Clean Up and the new tool are available running

EDIT: oops .. too late 😉

Increasingly responsive. Very good battery life, even though it’s been less than 24 hours since the update.

 

[LutzRFrank]

hmm.. why does my iPhone starts indexing even after I switched back to the old Siri (using my EU AppleID with all its Media/Purchases is much more important for me currently...
