After restoring from iCloud backup, thing seems smooth. Two big improvements:
- notifications don’t need to be re-enabled for each app
- I didn’t need to re-train Siri

I'm having a weird issue with iPadOS 26, there doesn't seem to be an active forum dedicated to iPadOS so hope it's ok to post here.

Since installing the beta on my iPad, I can no longer access the Macrumours.com website in Safari unless I either have iCloud private relay turned on, or use the Cloudflare Warp app. My DNS and other settings are exactly the same as before I upgraded and the same as my MacBook and iPhone running iOS 18, both of which can access the site without any issues. I've tried the iPad on a different network and it's exactly the same. A traceroute from the iPhone and iPad follow the same route but iPad always eventually fails and says the connection to the server was lost.

Anyone else having any odd internet issues with iPadOS 26?

I do not have this problem with my iPad Pro M4.

In the end, I couldn’t resist and just installed iOS 26 on my :apple: iPhone 15 Pro Max a moment ago.
It’s running smoothly - haven’t noticed any visible issues. I’m very satisfied so far :cool:

I'm honestly amazed at how much 'beta 1.5' has improved my phone. I didn't have the battery drain issue but the phone os in general one of the worst betas I can remember for a long time.

However today's update to fix the battery thing seems to have improved everything from animation speed to safari glitches. Maybe my phone just finished reindexing at the same time?

Anyone else?

While I am starting to love the look of iOS 26 I think this will be the first year where I don’t install any betas and won’t be installing the public release in September until I have been in a apple store to compare with what I have now .
iOS 18 to iOS 26 is such a design difference I am not sure if I will like it

Why not just install the beta and if you don’t like it rollback to iOS 18.5?

I have a lot of critical data on my iPhone and don’t want to risk any corruption, also only got my 16 pro max in may so feels odd putting a beta on it so soon after getting it 😂
And don’t have a working Mac at the moment to do a restore as I out the macOS 26 beta on it and it’s not booting at all going into boot loop so yeah

I’m sure there was a more substantial reason for releasing this update so soon; I’m really hoping, though, that this addresses one particular bug that annoys me (not a showstopper): the clock freezing while the phone is in Standby mode. Those brief AM-heart attacks weren’t fun 😂

Appears to have been fixed in this build 👍🏾

After keeping up for a few days, I totally get why you stayed low @Pearsey

Tons of venom the first days in the thread! 🙃

This beta one has been phenomenal. Absolutely love the many changes and the slippery Liquid interface

Tons of tweaking and corrections in the days ahead, of course, but such an excellent start 👍🏼

PS - for those that haven't, check out Brandon Butch's super helpful YouTube video of iOS 26 changes. He's not a whiner, and finds so much so quickly - well worth the fifty-one minutes

Has anyone tested on Apple Podcasts with OS 26 to see if episodes removed from Up Next or stations are now syncing across devices?

Then I would suggest you to wait until official release !
I will wait too (but it’s very hard to wait 🙈😬)

Watched it and it’s so nice to see so many little good changes!
