iOS 26 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Stiille]

scrolling and the animations still don’t feel like 120fps.

Give it time and it’s hz not fps

Automix in Apple Music is completely different to the last betas.

How so?

Been holding off on iPad. Pretty smooth now?

It runs incredibly smoothly on my old 2018 Pro. It's much better than all the earlier betas

You do mean it’s liquidier, don’t you ? 😂

Yeah that 😂

When you tap on the calendar widget and then swipe away from that app, the bounce-back animation is nicer now. Before, it looked like a double-exposure for a second while the text lined up and smoothed out. Hard to describe. Much better now, though.

They seem to have removed the blur at the top and bottom of Safari, so we can finally hear (less) whining about that! 🤪

Oh yes true.
I wasn’t heavily complaining about but to be honest, this looks better with this little white out fading now.

They should probably bring it back.

Dark mode icons seem much darker.

Give the phone at least a moment to settle after such an update.
Honestly you know how it works after these updates…

It was perfect in b1/2 and they’ve messed around with it in 3/4.

Like it doesn’t mix very well at all now.

Dark mode icons seem much darker.

Can’t confirm

 

[Braunschweiger]

How so?

Feels like the basic transition right now. Maybe it’s a bug…

iOS 26 wallpaper is now dynamic

 

[slomtbr]

Still only one CarPlay widget stack 😕

I was told the same right after beta 3 and it never got any smoother 🙂

 

[jayjay14]

B4 seems more snappier as well for me

 

[yeahtyeaht]

Please guys stop reporting it being to glassy. I love the design and glassy look. It’s amazing imo.

Only had realized it today… and now it’s gone 😉

Like what?

Like not working at all. 😅

If it’s true that there is no gradient on safari I think is a fail. It’s quite subtle in dark mode.

CAUTION: Wi-Fi was required to complete the post-update setup assistant after installing, despite having a working 5G connection (with “Allow more data” ON) prior to installing. This caught me off guard as it is not a normal requirement after an update.

There’s an updated mail icon with a less prominent bottom fold

There is a gradient at the top and bottom but it’s much reduced
