Just gave it a go on the refreshed B4, and using the camera button to zoom in and out is working ok here on my 16 PM. Button is working just as well as it did in iOS 18.
Got a tip for us?

15PM iOS26 PB4

That’s weird. I have run earlier iOS 26 betas on iPhone 11 and now on my main iPhone 15 (not Pro). Apart from a slightly sluggish animations, like icons “floating” into the Home Screen, everything works pretty well for me. If it still lags for you after a simple and hard restarts, try reinstalling it with an IPSW file from Apple’s developer portal. This will overwrite your current installation, but you will not lose any of your current settings or data.
I was sick of liquid glass and just went back to iOS 18.6 on my iPhone 16 Pro Max last night. I can immediately see the animation speed when scrolling is faster now, but there was zero stutter on the 26 betas. It was just a slower animation. But it did exactly what I was telling the phone to do and never felt jerky. But now on 18.6 I can scroll like lightning. I think some people are just very sensitive to this change and calling everything stutter as a blanket term. I am sure some people have performance issues since it is a beta, but it's really just a change in speed as far as my eyes can tell.
I've just done that too. Spent the afternoon plugged into the work PC restoring back to iOS 18.6. The phone is defiantly much more smoother and no stuttering when scrolling. It's like falling in love with promotion all over again.
I’m running on a 16PM. All the camera functions work fine. All zooms, modes etc
Strange that so many people run smooth while others don’t. I’m on a 16PM and had only experienced one issue. Other that that all is well
Is there a quick way to close an open tab in Safari? They have changed the navigation to get to the open tabs now in iOS26. Before I would just select the tab view button and close the one I just had open. Now I have to select the menu button, then the tabs button to get to the same view. One extra step. Not a huge deal but it is going to take some getting used to.
Swipe up starting on the address bar.
THANK YOU!
I also was annoyed by this new way of reaching my open tabs. Until now! And now I know it is much easier than before!
For me and a friend from work it is definitly not working for me with the Camera Control Zooming. Tried hard reset, tried normal restart, nothing worked.
I came to see if anyone had a similar issue where incoming calls and alarms do not make any sound/haptics. Issue is resolved by restarting the phone. Issue only started happening in the fourth beta.
Don’t run the beta if you don’t have any other alarm clocks and have a job interview or something important the next day lol.
I'm not seeing that issue on the first beta 4. I reverted after some battery issues on the re-release.
I know I was a big shot a few pages back saying that toggling Contacts on and off in iCloud settings fixed my syncing issues. I was wrong. This, at least for me, is going badly. Any contact I add on any device isn't showing up on my other devices.
You can also long press on the address bar and then select Close Tab from the pop up menu if you’re wanting to close the current tab without opening the tabs browser. It also gives you the option to close all open tabs.
It's there as soon as the app opens. But I don't use the app much. I mostly use ProCamera, which I beta test.
I’ve been on the iOS 26 Public Beta since day one, and everything was working fine—until last night. I was showing a friend some of the new features and customized my home screen by tinting it blue. Right after that, my phone suddenly went black and has been unusable since.
I managed to enter recovery mode, input my passcode, and connect to Wi-Fi. The screen said there were no issues, and it gave me the options to restart, shut down, etc. However, when I try to restart, it just gets stuck on the Apple logo and nothing happens.
At one point, the phone briefly showed up in Finder on my Mac, but I wasn’t able to connect to it or take any action.
Is there anything else I can try or something I might have missed? I'm using iPhone 15 Pro Max
