sadly everything I’ve submitted over these betas has been open and none have been even looked at.
If anybody wants to report feedback using my reports, here’s everything I’ve submitted so far. If you’re noticing the same issues on your device, please report with me so Apple can fix these issues!
Visual intelligence result bug (as mentioned by others in thread)
(Suggestion) Lock Screen Clock visuals not as pictured like WWDC.
Calculator app bug when changing currency. App crash.
When turning off badges on certain apps, at least on my iPad, the badges still show within a folder of App Library, but when tapping on the apps, there’s no badges. I can’t tell which app has the badges.
If you have music files on the files app, and you listen to them and keep going back to the app maybe to change the song, eventually the audio scrubber disappears. I suggest they implement a full media player to the files app like QuickTime, or allow us to add media files from the files app or add them to the music app.
Notifications have a weird glitch towards the bottom of display, between where the lock screen controls are. If you have a lot of notifications, scroll all the way to the bottom, and then start scrolling up quickly. You’ll see notifications randomly pop in and out between the middle of the lock screen controls.
Attaching another video, you can easily see the bug I’m talking about..
You ever mark all emails as read, but then the categories still show a bubble on them as if there’s something unread? This also happens on iOS 18. You have to tap on each category to make the dot go away. Annoying.

Is anyone running into the same issue where enabling the setting to darken the UI in iOS26 is not sticking? After locking the phone and unlocking the setting reverts. This seems to only happen when light mode is enabled.
Thanks!!
iPhone 16 Pro Max
Appreciate you checking. I seem to be the only person I know who is running iOS26 who is running into this. Oh well.
Its fixed mate! I installed Dev Beta 5 on my iPhone 13 Pro and it works now and im really impressed how good this Beta is. Battery Life is insanely good.
I am on the public beta. Lockscreen dims and I unlock the phone and Home Screen is also dim. Have to lock and unlock the phone all the time. 15 Pro Max.
Mines dim quite often. Not heat on mine because it’s just sitting on my desk and I touch the screen and it’s very dim.
I guess if you squint, and use some Kaleidoscope Goggles, you might just be able to read it...
How the visually impaired are going to get on with this I don't know...
EDIT, actually, it looks a lot better when you review the screenshot on a laptop, than on the actual iOS - can read it when it's enlarged on my MBP, but not so easily at the proper size on the iPhone 15 Pro.

I'm on Dev Beta 5 on an iPhone 15 since yesterday.
Two things i've noticed so far.
Firstly, i can't add new widgets to the home screen. Add New Widget just ends in a blank screen. There are no widgets to select, and a search doesn't find any.
Secondly, when installing apps from the Apps Store, once the Install button is clicked, screen dialog goes blank with no instructions visible.
Anyone else encounter these?

I am on 18.6 but have you tried force rebooting your iPhone 15?
Ok, decided to change all the visual tweaks back to defaults and I think this may be related to the 'Reduce Transparency' setting. I turned it off (along with 'Differentiate Without Colour') and the widgets and install apps screens became visible again.
I like the new look (iPhone 11) but many people don't, and seem to use the Reduce Transparency option. Please log a feedback so Apple are aware.
I get the feeling many Apple developers aren't testing on standard devices but on iPhone emulators and don't always see the UI issues we see.
Turn the „reduce transparency“ option just off and enjoy the Liquid Glass design. It won’t be possible to avoid it in the apple ecosystem system for the upcoming years. Some animations and designs are really nice in my opinion.
No. Mine glows, but just a faint outline. Just one of those some have the bug and some don't bugs.
