iOS 26.1 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Stiille]

Is there any way to keep iPhone language in English and using Apple Intelligence in another language?

I don’t think so, both languages have to match

Any Apple Intelligence in Dutch ?

I read in the Spéculation thread that there is AI in Dutch.

It says in the OG post, Dutch will/should be available on 26.1

New visual glitch. Widgets disappear on homescreen when opening an app. Animations are quick so it’s not a big issue but still noticeable right away.

Cool and also kinda useless.

Is iOS 26 currently on RCS 2.0? Or is it supposed to be updated to RCS 3.0?

Not sure if it is 2.0 or 2.x. It's whatever 18.0 launched with. UP 3 was spotted in code awhile ago. But Google hasn't implemented it either yet. So once it's in the beta, you would need two iPhones with RCS on but iMessage off to do any real testing, I gather.

It launched with UP 2.4 from 2019. UP 3.0 launched a few months ago.

The only thing that leaked is MLS encryption, seems like Apple mix and matches their spec (which is funnily enough against the spec, leaving out mandatory features like reactions or edit / undo send functionality).

Well... poo! I was really hoping for an Edit feature.

I think they’re prepping for the launch of the actual reworked Siri 2.0 which is coming the first half of next year.

Why would they need to disable it tho? To make it look brand new? 😂

My 17 PM has not shown any signs of any redraws or glaring issues that "Macrumors" users are experiencing.

17 Pro Max.

And don’t say it’s because it just updated and is indexing.

This has been a problem since the first beta. I figured that the 17PM having 4gb more ram than my 15PM did would alleviate the issue. I was wrong.

How big was everyone’s download? I’m seeing people on Reddit saying there’s was anywhere between 18-20Gb. I’m in the UK on a 17 pro max, and it was only 8 and a bit

iPad Pro 3rd generation.

iPhone Air modem updated to 2.00.58-3, wiki updated.

I wonder why the iPhone 17 series moden number is 2.XX instead of 1.XX; the modem number increases by 1 for every major iOS that's released. So on iOS 26 the 17 series modem should be 1.XX, and the 16 series 2.XX, etc, etc

Mine was 19 GB on my iPhone 16

We got this… yet CarPlay still won’t scroll long song titles.

Please don’t tell me this is just placebo , however I’m sure Liquid Glass looks more LG on notifications & the dock ?

 

[chickeneaster]

That's subjective.

Correct, and this person gave their opinion. They didn't say that everyone will say or think that it'll look nice

 

[Hamsterhjulet]

That’s annoying.. I’ve always used English as phone language and danish for Siri..

 

[P_Watt]

The phone dialer has liquid glass now on all the numbers.

Yours doesn’t look at all glassy, neither does my SE3, maybe the green button is a tad glassy but only in dark mode

Ah, I see! Thanks! I was under the impression that Google had implemented it

As silly as it sounds yes. The edge glow was all for the new Siri which never actually arrived.

It looks like that because I guess Apple Intelligence is re-downloading or something

This was a strange oversight from the original release

 

[greg624]

is the default wallpaper shown in display settings properly?

This is 26.0, it is indeed “glassy” in 26.1

 

[Hamsterhjulet]

Nope. Still iOS 18 wallpaper.

 

[mattburley7]

maybe by 26.1 final release we will be back to liquid glass like it was in the earlier 26 betas?

slow improvements throughout the 26.1 betas
