Got a tip for us?

I bit the bullet and installed on my 16pro. Am liking it so far. It’s a bit stuttery and laggy, but still very usable. iPad version is so much smoother btw.
Happy so far.
Happy so far.
iPadOS 26 dev beta 1 is basically unusable with an external screen. Crashes way too much.
Here is my iPad Pro M4 using my 2010 27" iMac Core i7 as an external screen, via Mini DisplayPort.
BTW, window resizing is very jittery when streaming Netflix video at the same time. Netflix does play audio fine out of the iMac though.

No it won’t unfortunately. Newer iOS and older watchOS is OK but not the opposite
it's like....you have a laptop or a desktop...hard to tell the difference at this point...insane that it took Apple this long to get to this point for iPadOS....just insane...
Agreed. I tried Carplay Widgets this morning, and scrolling up and down between the widgets was very problematic. Most of the time it opened a widget, when I was trying to scroll to a different widget. It was pretty frustrating. I couldn't imagine scrolling through widgets when I was actually driving. Hopefully they smooth this funtion out in the upcoming betas.
Anyone else have issues with WiFi calling? It only works when I am in airplane mode. If I arrive home, it will never use WiFi calling. It just stays connected to WiFi but never says “WiFi calling”. So it’s going to use my weak cellular connection for calls which is bad for battery too
Doing the recovery, seemed to do something and is now booting… interesting. Just booted back to recovery lol, time to reset phone

Guessing Apple is still adding functionality to this.Doing the recovery, seemed to do something and is now booting… interesting. Just booted back to recovery lol, time to reset phone
Yeah does the checks and restarts but didn’t fix, the second run highlighted no issues but wont leave recovery mode. Just a heads up to anyone else.
Put it in edit mode and there on the bottom right you can drag it bigger.
I’ve got my old iPhone 11 out of a drawer and put this beta on it. I wasn’t expecting to like the ‘liquid glass’ look from screenshots, but it’s much better in person I feel.
Apple’s new app icons definitely look better to me on the device than in screenshots.
I prefer the ‘liquid glass’ look in light mode compared to dark mode.
As others have said, they definitely need to do something with notifications and control centre transparency, to improve the readability in certain situations. (The same goes for the tab bars at the bottom of apps, sometimes they’re hard to see, let alone read, depending on what content is underneath them.) But I have confidence that they’ll have refined it by public launch.
I’ve used Safari with the address bar on the bottom ever since that option was introduced a few years ago. However, I didn’t like the look of the bottom bar in iOS26, nor at the top, so I’m using ‘compact’ and actually much prefer this new option. I’d like them to add something visual to indicate there are more tabs open.
I like the new look and functionality of the Phone app’s ‘recents’ call list. (i.e Clicking on a name/number won’t call it.)
I like that when you select text and there’s more options than cut, copy, paste, clicking on the arrow then shows a full listed menu. (See screenshot.)
I’ve noticed that the blue colour used for the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons in Control Centre are different in light mode to dark mode. (They’re the same blue in each mode on 18.4.1)
Camera app seems less cluttered, which is nice.
Notification stacks seem smooth to open and close, unlike the jankiness I’m encountering since 18.4.
All in all, I don’t think it’s a bad beta 1. Looking forward to seeing how they improve the ‘liquid glass’ effects over the summer.

It is inaccurate… just try it out
Doesn’t seem to want to let me into any mode, maybe im doing wrong but following step guides….
So the issue, somehow over 200gb data randomly filled up my phone so I got stuck in the boot loop but iOS 26 must have a new recovery mode, but im guessing it isn’t clearly any cache or files to free up space.
Somehow got into recovery mode using iPad.. so should gain access, odd bug.
