Can I get a link to that wallpaper? Love it.

It is an older one from Zollo's streams ... https://bit.ly/3QQENZn

He shares quiet a few awesome wallpapers at the end of his video descriptions.

Apple should add a ‘liquid’ slider so we can choose the effect of the liquid glass.

I preferred the first beta. This one is more frosted.

Is this the new VoLTE? Seeing this on Beta 2 on EE UK

same on my 16 PM

Can you please also report it through the Feedback app? That way, it’s more likely to get noticed and addressed.

So smooth for beta 2 for me. The only issue in having is guided access. Reported it to the beta app.

I collect magsafe powerbanks (qi2 mostly) like some people collect pokemon, and so I had the unique ability to try various ones when one didnt work. and indeed there is a problem with ios26 and magsafe

My phone didn’t charge all the way last night on the MagSafe2 charger (to be fair, I only put it on the charger at 5am… though 2 hours should have been plenty).

Popped it on the Qi2 pack, just hit 80%, and now we’re doing the disconnect and reconnect dance again.

Have there always been lines separating the messages in iMessage? I just noticed it on my Iphone 16PM

Yes. I don’t have 26 on my iPhone, but I do on my Mac, and iMessage on the Mac has lines separating the message - however, they’re significantly darker and thicker than the lines separating messages on iMessage on my iPhone running 18.5.

Apple should provide options PERIOD, FULL STOP.

Just give us more toggles and customization.

The two main reasons people go to Android nowadays are a lack of control over the look and feel of the OS and awful digital assistant/AI.

 

[Reeneman]

Not a fan.
This is more frosted glass than liquid glass. There is literally barely any liquid element to it now.

That’s not true. Look at the podcast app and music as well.

When double tap to take screenshot, I only get a notification on top saying tap is registered, but it doesn’t take screenshot. Is it like this to you?

 

[town3r]

Anyone else having issues with the Messages app not letting you scroll up to view past messages, like it consistently scrolls back down to the bottom?
Also the messages at the top just kinda keep flashing from blurred to unblurred.

The 10.5-inch iPad Pro does not support iPadOS 26, its final version is iPadOS 17.

Unless you mean the 4th-gen iPad Pro (so the “11-inch 2nd-gen”?

Man, Apple botched the naming convention SO much when they introduced the full screen iPad Pro (3rd-gen, 2018).

You're so right that these naming schemes are ridiculous. I really can't keep up.

Yes its a 2nd gen 11 inch iPad Pro.

In the Health app, when you try to add an account, the search box is not functional.

 

[ahildebrand12]

Good because the All Tabs at the top was horrible.

Who actually uses the All Tabs buttons? It seems like I'm the only one using the gestures in safari.

I still can't change my home screen wallpaper from the lock screen. The option doesn't show. I have to do it in Settings > Wallpaper.

I can't either.

Broken for me as well. I’m using the assistive touch button for this.
Double tap: Screen off (this still works!)
Press and hold: Taking Screenshot (broken in DB2)

Anyone running into issues w/ the Shortcut app crashing at launch on iPadOS 26 beta 2?

Icons are still repopulating when quickly swiping through home pages. 16pro.

Mine is happening on all of the settings. It’s mainly the safari bookmark icons that are repopulating.

Nope. Voda are very late to the party for some reason.
