iOS 26 Beta 6 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[mcvaughan]

Well, someone speculated this update was to readd blood oxygen it does not appear to be the case. Only update on iphone not on ultra 2 and still no blood oxygen, even tried ecg before hand. Guessing some bug fix they needed to release mid cycle

Most likely Monday.

I noticed this as well at times. Especially 3rd party apps.

Anyone (in U.S.) running the beta with dual eSIM setup? If so, how is running thus far on this release (battery, app usage, and heat)?

If you don't live in the US, and didn't buy your watch in the US from the day the ban was implemented, then it works. They didn't backdate US watches prior to that date, and all international sales are not included.

Why is the keyboard different depending on which apps you’re in? The letters and keys all rounded and strange in Notes for instance, but not in other areas of iOS?

Can you attach a screenshot? I’m not seeing any difference - examples below showing Notes, Safari and Messages.

Did Apple kill the Hidden Ambient Music Playlists in Public Beta 3?

Try any of third-party apps, you will see pre-iOS 26 keyboard.

Well of course, those apps haven’t been updated for iOS 26 as we are in beta. That’s normal and has been the case with prior iOS releases when keyboard changes have been made.

this is so weird. I tried to move the assistivetouch to the top of my screen and for some reason it won't like it hit a wall 😂

Low power mode is very efficient in this beta

I’m glad it doesn’t enable itself anymore

Yep mine work and I still can select playlists when rearanging stuff

Last couple days I wake up with phone on enter PIN code screen anyone else?

maybe the third-party app uses a wrong api call for the keyboard?

 

[jdavid_rp]

I suppose the keyboard has a new calling parameter so apps can choose to use the new or the older one but is not available until they’re allowed to send updates with the new Xcode version.

Joking aside, I see there's no ipsw file for the beta 6 relaunch. I was thinking of installing it over the top to see if these reboots that have been occurring since I installed it stop. I also missed the notification that the Apple Watch is fully charged. This relaunch has definitely been bad for my iPhone haha

At least you only have to wait two more days until a possible fix !

Jumped into the beta at this point to have a look. Liquid Glass is both amazing in some places and a readability nightmare in others. I really hope they fix the situations where it's not working well before release, cannot believe they think this is good enough. I'm referring mainly to text over backgrounds like notifications on Home Screen, the hovering text in messages, etc.
