I’m not noticing new issues, but I don’t understand how there’s been no fix to the alarm toggles in Clock. They’re Liquid Glass components, but the corresponding animation doesn’t occur if you tap them. It only occurs whenever you slide your finger across them.
This has been an issue since iOS 26 and I’ve reported it numerous times.
I’ve reported the stopwatch not functioning properly numerous times as well. I use the stopwatch almost daily. When starting a lap, it’ll show up on the lock screen, but maybe 8/10 times it’ll glitch out, and when you tap the stopwatch from the lock screen, it’ll open a completely empty stopwatch in the actual clock app. Usually happens after an hour or so. Sometimes the stopwatch on the lock screen and the actual clock app will show two very different things. This is MADDENING
Actually, SF Symbols are more than just a bunch of precrafted SVGs. They're highly customizable and not "set in stone", and this is the perfect example. You could even make only the middle part white with the rest lower opacity.
The Wi-Fi status icon is displaying the signal strength in reverse. The icon consists of three bars (arcs): currently, the bottom two are solid white and the top one is dimmed, but on iOS 27 the logic is inverted.
I’ve had an issue since Dev Beta 1 where the keyboard takes about 3 seconds to pull up when I tap the address bar in Safari. I swear it was happening in other apps, but now that I’m actually paying attention to when it happens, it seems to just be Safari. It’s pretty annoying.
theres no way this beta cycle is almost over. I feel like the past 3 beta updates haven't really changed much. I'm still experiencing the same bug/incorrect thing ive experienced since beta 1 with my siri ai conversations not actually syncing between devices. First it start between my iphone and ipad where they wouldn't sync and then when the watchos one came out the same thing.
The apple watch syncs better than the ipad cuz at least for a little, it syncs the conversations (not fully and it stops syncing after a while), while the ipad has never synced
Anyone still having the bug where when you swipe down to activate spotlight if you immediately tap on an app it wont register your touch and you'll have to wait a beat and touch it again? I'm on a iPhone 16 Pro Max running Beta 7 and it still persists.
On my iPhone 15 Pro Max, using the clear/tinted icons causes the opening app experience to be really slow and it’s not as smooth as it used to be. Anyone else facing this issue?
Used to be? Was this ever smooth? I remember it being bad performance with clear icons ever since iOS 26 beta 1 on my previous iPhone 14 Pro Max and it still lags on latest iOS 27 beta on iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro Max I tested it on. Apple marked this issue as fixed but I don’t see it even partially fixed.
Been there since ios 27 beta 1. I stopped using them because of the lag. Reported it on every beta version to apple. Looks like they dont want people using the clear or tinted icons.
Yeah, I also had to get rid of the clear icons; it was becoming headache-inducing. I really hope they manage to fix it by the final release; I’ll keep submitting it in the feedback until then.
My AirPods keep disconnecting and reconnecting. Anyone else? I’ve tried other headphones and it seems to be a Bluetooth software issue not the headphones or AirPods.
Half my passwords don’t auto populate (or use previous passwords which are wrong and or auto populate to username field), the gigantic search bar up top that covers everything and misspells a ton, Siri not resolving commands or misinterpreting completely
Agreed, having to type proofread is getting a little old. On the Mac there is a little bubble that pops out to the side, but that's not ideal either. I miss the right click, press and hold, or seeing it in the actions menu on the keyboard options. They were just better.
Does anyone know how to enable dark tinted notifications? They're working again on MacOS 27 B7, so wondering if it's also been fixed/re-enabled in iOS 27 B7
I’m usually against complaining about bugs during a beta, but you’re absolutely correct. For being this close to the public release of a software version specifically advertised as a performance improvement update, it’s a bit concerning that there are still so many issues.
I have an iPhone 17 and an M4 iPad Pro and both get hung up on indexing (somewhere in the 40-49% range) for days, then it fails out. No Apple Intelligence whatsoever and no way to enable it through all of the public beta builds. In settings it just shows “Siri” without any Apple Intelligence listed. I’ve tried every way available to fix this, nothing works.
Keep the devices plugged in to power more than you normally would
Keep the devices locked more than you normally would
Try a hard reboot
If there's another beta update next week, try skipping it and giving your devices more time to finish up the indexing
If all else fails, when the public release comes, try making a backup and wiping/restoring the devices
Mine hung for a VERY long time, and I've spent very little of the beta cycle with devices that had finished indexing lol, since it seems to take upwards of 10 days each time...Not sure if these will fix your problem, just some things to try.
I wonder if this is the last beta before the Release Candidate. They skipped the week that should have been Beta 5, and when Beta 5 dropped it was originally labeled as Beta 6 on the developer site. If 5 was scrapped and 6 renamed to 5, then Beta 7 is technically Beta 8. There’s also usually one week off with no beta before the iPhone release. That lines up with next week having no Beta and the iPhone event and Release Candidate dropping on Wednesday 9/9 (not Tuesday because Monday is Labor Day).
Is it just me or is the scrolling experience horrible on this beta? Like you can fast scroll through something like X for example and you would see screen tearing of content. It’s crazy, I never noticed this on any previous betas. Also happens in a few other food apps as far as I can see. Using an iPhone 17.
It’s true that iOS 27 has improved in terms of smoothness and speed, but I’m still noticing some performance issues that result in lag when navigating the home screen or opening apps – in my case, on an iPhone 17 Pro.
As expected, none of these issues were fixed. It’s always like this every year when the public release gets closer.
STILL no Liquid Glass toggle for Alarms.
Notification animation bug when tapping stacked notifications. The selected notification overlaps the notifications below instead of expanding smoothly.
Wi-Fi glyph in Control Center is still reversed.
Visual glitch with the Liquid Glass toggle for AOD in Settings.
Keyboard animation in Messages is still too instant when appearing and lacks a smoother transition.
Wallpaper preview under Settings > Appearance still shows the default iOS 26 wallpaper, including in Display Zoom.
Keyboard click sounds still disappear. Switching to emojis and back to letters causes the click sounds to stop until briefly exiting the app.
Dynamic Island and unlocking animation glitch. On my 17PM, the animations become unusually fast, almost as if they’re skipping frames. This doesn’t happen on my 16 Pro.
bug i’ve also been reporting since b1 is that the shortcut action ‘opens watch’ never finishes with siri ai. it would open up spotlight and after im done with it the shortcut doesn’t complete.
hopefully it’s fixed in b7
This has been happening to me. Wanna say it started with beta 5 (iPhone 15 Pro). Thought the touchscreen was just messed up from dropping it or something (despite there being no physical damage anywhere).
Home Screen swipe stopped working. You need to press power button and wake screen again, unlock and you’re back to Home Screen. Rebooted a couple of times and seems to be working.
I already reported this one to Apple, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue: I can't disable content blockers on a site in a way that makes the setting persist.
For example, I use Wipr 2. I wanted to disable content blockers for a website, but every time I disabled them, closed the tab, and reopened the site in a new one, the blockers would automatically be re-enabled. I also don't see a new whitelist/blackllist anywhere that I can modify on my own, which is unfortunate.
I'm pretty sure this functionality used to work. Hope someone else is in the same boat.
edit: I'm an idiot. You have to navigate to "Website settings" in Safari. Thank you u/nate390 .
Are you disabling content blockers by using “Reload without content blockers”, or by using “Website settings”? I think the former is intended to be temporary and the latter persistent.
Is it just me or has ram management been amazing in this beta?? Never had an app which I closed 4 hours ago open right back up exactly as it was on my iPhone!!
I noticed in the last few betas that at first the OS seems extremely responsive and cool, while if a few days pass it gets progressively slower and hotter .
I would imagine it being the opposite after indexing
yeah for some reason my device runs perfectly fine during indexing, but when the badge in settings is gone then the performance is slowly starting to dip and i experience excessive heating up on light use. it's been consistent behavior since a couple of iOS 27 betas...
They still haven't fixed the M5 iPad Pro Magic Keyboard bug where the on-screen keyboard keeps popping up even when the external keyboard is attached. Since Beta 4 🥲
They pretty much nailed it in this release. Indexing has finished. Quite fluent and smooth though some very minor micro stutters but overall quite smooth fast and very responsive can’t wait for the final release. Can only get better.
This beta marks the first time since the very first iPadOS 26 beta back in 2025, that my iPad Pro 12.9 inch (2020 model) no longer stutters when swiping to the app library.
Getting micro stutters when scrolling and navigating that I previously never experienced after an update on 27 maybe they go away but it’s definitely there
I think apple is f*cking with me I reported there’s a bug in resolution control in the camera since beta 1 already downgraded and again upgraded via OTA, and DFU nothing restores the 48MP in the camera on iOS 27!
I reported already 3 times, and apple just says
They gotta to be freaking kidding me, DB7 and there’s no fix for this!
Or the bug can’t be replicated, or is only occurring on OP’s specific phone, or maybe low priority because not enough percentage of users experience the bug.
The only bug that genuinely bothered me in beta 6 was the swipe-up gesture from the bottom becoming unresponsive, leaving no way to go Home or switch apps.
that bug has not been removed in beta 7. 😒
iphone 17.
Let’s see if Siri asks me to unlock every time I ask her to send a text this time. Or needs me to unlock to add something to grocery list. And then just hangs on the unlock screen infinitely until you cancel. It’s like they flip a coin on this behavior every update.
it’s there in Photos and Music apps but missing everywhere else
Apple should just give us an Accessibility option ffs. if they can architect Liquid Glass to have a transparency toggle with no input from third party developers needed, they can surely make Progressive Blur an option for those of us who want it
Just like how they shifted the search bars to the bottom in virtually every system app a year or two ago, yet Reminders maintains the old way of a magnifying glass icon in the top right. They’re consistent until they aren’t.
First time ever i had a crash. It went like a crt tv powering off the top and bottom went black and a line in the middle then a circle, but didnt reboot, took a couple seconds ds and came back
All my group chats that are SMS are failing to send messages & I’m not receiving additional messages after updating. RCS & iMessages are performing normally.
The solution is to use a USB-A to Lightning charger; using USB-C to Lightning with PD charging triggers a bug that causes charging to stop after 5 seconds.
The new floating Siri button that appears next to editable text fields can overlap and block buttons, links, or other webpage controls. This makes the underlying interface difficult or impossible to use without clicking elsewhere to dismiss the floating control first.
The floating button should never cover interactive content on the webpage. Its position should dynamically adjust based on available space, or there should be a user setting to disable this floating interface while retaining Writing Tools functionality.
That’s been there since at least iOS 17, especially when switching focus modes that have different wallpapers. I’ve frankly given up on them ever fixing it. I’ve reported it at least 5 times
iPhone 13 mini here.
This is the worst iOS 27 beta so far.
Today I had an hour long glitch where I couldn’t scroll at all, horizontally and vertically.
The phone gets super hot just from listening to music and doing some basic scrolling or reading.
I hadn’t used the alarm for a few weeks. Yesterday I had to wake up early, so I turned on the three alarms I had already set.
In the morning, I snoozed the alarm like I normally do, but it never rang again… I woke up hours later and of course ended up being late!!!!
I also have to restart the phone at least once a day because of random, annoying glitches.
Typing is a pain in the ass, and the battery has been draining like crazy ever since Beta 6.
The first iOS 27 betas were amazing, such a nice breath of fresh air and way better than iOS 26 for me.
Auto correct was a nonsensical mess for a few betas. Replacing the first word of a sentence with something that "it" thought was better. It seems better on beta 7, but haven't typed enough to say for sure.
I did for exactly one version lol—either beta 2 or 3, I think 2 but not certain—and it hung for over a week at the same percentage, before finally finishing up a couple of hours before the next beta released 🫠 Other than that time, though, no percentage; just an indicator of whether it’s happening.
Wow what an assole of a move this is, it worked perfectly with high res.. and if you’re in the eu like me, you don’t even get the new features.. the 17 pm will likely be my last iPhone, I can’t stand it anymore, each years we get screwed.
Siri suggestion for apps still doesnt work. I continue to get standard 8 apple apps instead of apps I intend to use. It worked well before I started using iOS27 beta. How to fix it?
Liquid glass Tinted option now behaves differently than previous betas. It doesn't darken search bars or other input fields, but instead reduces transparency and points more towards the white color. Compare with previous betas!
Dark mode widgets are still half black and half grey. I wish they would have just left them all grey at this point if they’re not going to fully transition. It’s been over a month.
Scrubbing through videos flat out refuses to work most times on the first or even second attempt. Pausing on Safari is just awful. When I hit pause to read text, it skips a second or two forward.
What happened with iOS 27’s Safari? I’m seeing this issue on YouTube, Patreon and bootleg sport sites.
I’m really seeing it in the app switcher. Frame rate hits on my 15 pro. Most noticeable when loading the app switcher. Paginating feels good after icons have finally loaded.
I’ve had an issue where my AirPods Pro 3 disconnect when I open Control Center while I’m on TikTok or YouTube or whatever with a video playing. Still not fixed unfortunately.
Possible iOS 27 Beta 7 HealthKit bug with Philips Sonicare
Has anyone else had problems getting third-party apps to connect to Apple Health on Beta 7?
I’m trying to connect the Philips Sonicare app to Apple Health. My toothbrush is connected to the Sonicare app over Bluetooth and everything works normally there.
When I go to Sonicare → Settings → Apple Health Settings, the “I want to link my data with Apple Health” switch is greyed out and I can’t turn it on.
Sonicare also doesn’t show up at all under Settings → Privacy & Security → Health. I checked Settings → Apps → Sonicare too, and there’s no Health permission listed there either.
Bluetooth and Location are enabled, the toothbrush is actively connected, and all the relevant privacy settings in the Sonicare app are turned on. I’ve restarted everything and reconnected the toothbrush with no luck.
It seems like Sonicare isn’t actually triggering the HealthKit permission request, so iOS never gives me the prompt or adds Sonicare to the Health permissions list.
Philips still says Apple Health integration is supported and these are the steps they tell you to use, so I’m wondering if something changed or broke with HealthKit permissions in the iOS 27 beta.
Anyone on Beta 7 using Sonicare and able to connect it to Apple Health? Or has anyone noticed something similar with other HealthKit apps?
Trying to figure out whether this is iOS 27 or Philips before I delete and reinstall the whole damn thing.
It is an indicator for where to swipe from to either access control center or notification center. If you go to home screen after unlocking, you should see the same line on the left under the clock. I think it is supposed to be just a visual cue.
I just updated to the iOS 27 beta and unfortunately experienced a system crash after the update. My iPhone became unresponsive and needed a restart before I could use it normally again. Since it’s beta software, I expected some bugs, but I wanted to share my experience in case others are considering updating. Apple has continued releasing newer iOS 27 beta builds, so hopefully these stability issues are addressed in the next update.
MY phone does not charge with a cable anymore, or sometimes it does. It connects fine to my computer for data, but will not charge. Anyone else? iPhone 17Pro
