iOS 26 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

It’s a known issue and it is in Apple’s release notes.

Ah cool. I’ve read the release notes, but seems like I’ve missed this one! Thanks!

when I type too fast on WhatsApp the keyboard and app freezes and I have to close/reopen it and usually lose what I had typed. Anyone else ?

Phone still runs warm on beta 2 for me.

Yep, just happened today. The keyboard completely locked up and had to close WhatsApp and retype my message again.

Seems like music added on my Mac running macOS 15.5 isn’t showing up on my iPhone on iOS 26b2. My iPad seems to be updating, and even looking at Apple Music on the web I’m seeing music I’ve added. Just my iPhone not working.

Same here. I’m using dictation to overcome this…

Y’know what’s funny? I can’t work this out - I’m running both iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. For some reason I quite like the visuals on the iPad but really don’t on the Phone. I honestly don’t know why my opinion differs on each. I obviously like the effects if I like the iPad version, right?

Is it because it seems more toned down on the iPad or something?

So many issues with this beta on 16 PM's that I'm glad I am a peasant with a 12. The 12 seems perfectly fine but many are having issues with 16 PM's. I guess I'll wait for official release before I consider upgrading.

Same here, my 13 is smooth as glass. No big issues at all. Runs perfectly fine for the way I use it. Seems the worst issues are with the 16's mostly.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone to please use the feedback app to report all bugs, glitches you are experiencing.

The next 2 months are insanely critical and will require everyone to participate.

I think a new feature is testing inapp purchases in TestFlight apps. Before it would always ask me to enter my password, now it works with faceid.

Same, setting view to classic has solved the problem for me, also was mention as a workaround in early pages

Not the same thing.

The amount of Apple apologists in this thread is crazy. Yes, it’s a beta - of course it’ll have some bugs and glitches.

But my god, it’s a piece of trash update. Phones running hot, AirPods not connecting, etc. are all basic things that shouldn’t break with the NINETEENTH release.

all basic things that shouldn’t break with the NINETEENTH release.

And yet they break every year. I don’t think this beta is any worse than the last five years around the end of June.

But I do think Liquid Glass is an issue that won’t be fully fixed by September.

I had sworn off betas for my iPhone for several years precisely because of all the bugs in previous years.

The only reason I installed the beta this year (an early one to boot at dev beta 2), is so that I could try out the new CarPlay features. BTW, the new CarPlay works reasonably well, with the main issues being related to third party widgets... which makes sense since no officially released third party widgets actually exist yet.

Well you didn’t have to install it!
