Still seeing stutters and some redraws on 17PM. Particularly when closing out of an app with dark mode enabled.
Wow, this seems like the real deal. The stutter seems to be fully gone at least in my 17 Pro Max, running very very smoothly. Pleasantly surprised with this release so far.
Noticing on my phone when pulling down to activate spotlight, the apps will quickly go from light to dark mode. Stutters seem better than 26.1 but not completely gone for me.
Showcase first, develop later
Worked great for their AI strategy!
This beta feels smooth. Super smooth. Still don't like the UX choices but at least the distracting color changing happens at a nice framerate.
I must’ve gotten the bad build because this is noticeably more stuttery than 26.1
Have you tried a hard reset?
Do hard reset or something, seems the opposite of what many are experiencing, including me. I also upgraded from 26.1 and it’s a huge improvement.
Let it settle down... give it a couple of hours
iOS 26.2 beta 2 has added another new problem to my iPhone 12 Pro. Now when I attempt to long press the Home screen and select Edit everything crashes and it reboots back to the Lock Screen. The issues just keep stacking up for me on iOS 26 with nothing getting resolved. It's hard to believe we are at 26.2 with all of these basic issues still in the operating system. I wish I had a path back to iOS 18.
Perhaps you need a fresh restore to see if the OS is the cause or something else. Not hearing many issues such as you described (not sure what else is stacking up). I suspect its not an inherent issue with iOS but rather some corruption or funky settings on your end.
Installed on 15pro. Running smoother but weird glitches on Home Screen at first. Reboot fixed that.
I can confirm that they have still not fixed the iMessage photo gallery not showing pictures from text threads. Almost 600 comments on this thread. Hope they fix it eventually

Missing photos in iMessage after iOS 26 u… - Apple Community
I had one initial stutter but can’t reproduce on my iPhone 17 Pro.
I'm not sure what has caused all of the problems on my 12 Pro. All I know is the problems started with the Public iOS26 release. I decided to try the betas (.1 and. 2) to see if things improved, but they have not. The various problems just stack up. At this point I'll wait for the public 26.2 release to see what issues might get resolved. If all fails I will try the full restore as you suggest.
Stutters seem to be mostly gone after a reboot. Still seeing a weird thing where occasionally the Home Screen icons will briefly appear in light mode instead of dark when I exit an app or pull down Spotlight
I have the BETA setup to download and install for iphone air and watch ultra 2. watch is at 26.2 but phone stayed at 26.1. Not seeing 26.2 update even though I am enrolled in BETA program ? Any advice ? Did hard reset etc.....
Are you enrolled in the DEV beta or Public beta channel? Public b2 is not out yet.
hey all i found fire ware page of every IOS update apple came out with
You aren’t alone—and this is coming from someone with a 17 Pro Max, albeit with Reduce Animations/Reduce Transparency enabled.
Any time I long-press the Wi-Fi control in Control Center I get a respring; any time I hit the ellipsis (…) button in Music the app crashes. Will submit reports in a bit.
