iOS 26 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[TimFL1]

Do we know whether this includes anything that‘d make running a dev device with a personal Apple ID next to 18.x devices in terms of iCloud incompatibility?

Had to switch beta updates off, refresh and activate again to see Tahoe in the list

Time to cook some eggs thanks to the intense heat generated by a post-beta OS install

My update times are flying all over the place. It got to about 8GB downloaded and it’s still at that but it says 48 seconds then 6 hours then 24 hours then 18 minutes etc

Reminder this is iOS/ipados not mac

Teams, Authenticator, Outlook working just fine on my iPad. Also fine on iPhone @Banglazed. I will say things are laggy right now but probably due to indexing

I need to know if OKTA, Slack and the Chase app work before I install. Can someone test these?

Chase for me as well. I’m sure there will be a post about which apps do/do not work.

Animations look pretty good when opening and closing (minimizing) apps. Gonna be a lot to play with today!!

How bad is the old icons non-updated icons looking mixed with the new ones?

 

[walterpaisley]

Confirming that your favourite MS apps work – I tested outlook, teams, and authenticator BUT I didn't try doing a call in teams yet. Quite laggy, but as I mentioned earlier this happens every year.

As a reminder: if you are battery drain averse, do not install early iOS developer betas.

Thank you. Took it in Michigan UP myself, of course edited with a filter all on my iPhone with default photos app.

Wow, I actually thought it was an Apple one with the new OS. Good work, a great pic 📸

Not sure if this is a mistake, but it looks like windowing and Stage Manager are working on my iPad 10. Seems pretty significant imo.

Chase is just spinning when I try to log in

The one thing that would make me install this instantly is if there was a separate volume for alert / text tones instead of just ringtone.

Ohh nooo... That's gonna be some loooong months until Public release in fall

 

[marinersaptcomplex]

Need to see the all the stock wallpaper options. Is that Leopard-esque Aurora wallpaper previewed as an iMessage background being offered?

 

[Dirty Mac]

The cows are gonna come home before my phones finish installing.

[Conbowers]

Reddit doesn’t load comments etc.

 

[maxrest]

The clear icon look is SO clean! Definitely gonna use them on all my devices

 

[digitalfx]
