iOS 26 Beta 9 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

And how you turn off the search button?

Settings - Home Screen & App Library, toggle off the Show on Home Screen switch for Search

Sorry guys, I have to ask again as I've looked all the settings and cannot find away to get rid of the tick and search bar above the keypad in the picture below. And surely I can't be the only one who's getting it, can I?

It's supper annoying as once you've typed a certain amount of text, the bottom lines are hidden by the bar and tick and you can't see what you've typed.

I removed SwiftKey as someone suggested this bar might be part of it, but that hasn't helped at all.

Any help massively welcome. View attachment 2543465

If you click on the check mark, it'll make the keyboard go away and you can see the bar again. Click on the bar again and the keyboard will show up as it should.

Do you have this option in Settings flipped off?

Nope, I keep it on—which on my iPhone it behaves correctly, it only badges apps that I have it turned on for. In my case, I’m getting badges for apps that I’ve turned off, but only in the App Library in the view of a folder. If it’s one of the top three apps in the category, it doesn’t have a badge.

The fact that the iPad floating keyboard is still not working consistently for 3rd party apps in beta 9 is incomprehensible to me.

I thought I was the only one with the jittery keyboard when using a lot of 3rd party apps. It makes using the ipad pretty unusable. Totally unacceptable.

This is an iPadOS 18 bug. Apple has simply ignored it. I wouldn't be surprised if it carries over in 26.0.

Thanks cafe505. So this bar is normal and everyone has it? If so is there any way of turning it off permanently? I find on too many occasions it obscures the view off the text box once you get to the bottom. Especially on MacRumors. As I type now, I can’t see what I’m typing.

I know I can tap the tick and it’ll go away but I don’t want to keep doing this every time.

Also like I said, it seems they’re just releasing the same Buggy beta since beta 7. Same file size and no visual bugs fixed.

File size will only change significantly when they add or remove content.. at this point they are fine tuning the code, which does not noticeably affect the overall size of the entire package.

Anyone else get only icon names flying in when unlocking iPhone sometimes?

Yes, I have been for the last 4 betas. Doesn't happen as frequently like before.

Maybe these apps have to be recompiled for iOS 26?

 

[stealthytolkien]

Of the three betas I installed, this is my least favorite one. Quite a few quirky bugs showing up all of a sudden that weren’t there in beta 8. I hope this is a minor regression before the release candidate coming soon.

 

[James6s]

Do you also get sometimes just the icon names before the icons appear?

Not had that but I’ve seen when scrolling through the home screens that the apps aren’t there and then they quickly appear.

Is there anyone else here on Tesco Mobile in the UK?

Field Test Mode is saying SA but nPerf is saying 5G NSA.

Is anyone else having issues typing certain letters on apple carplay?

 

[To_Batistone]

Holy cow guys. I got the Liquid Glass dock back full time. All I had to do is turn off the search button. See my screenshot.

thank you so much!!! the liquid glass dock looks so much better!

 

[cale508]

Is anyone else having issues typing certain letters on apple carplay?

Yes. I have to always fully close the app and reopen it. Then it works.

I am currently listening to a large playlist (well, played directly on the HomePod) I checked my Music app on the phone and I had to scroll a while before seeing the icon and "743 More Songs"

I am using iPhone 16PM and on the latest Public Beta

I scrolled all the way to the bottom and it’s not there. I have over 900 songs on the playlist :/ hopefully it comes back for me in RC

Mine looks the same whether I have search or not.

What’s your setup? Light mode? Dark mode? Reduce transparency? Can you provide a screenshot?

 

[elementalwingma]

Has anyone had some weird lag when tracks switch in Apple Music? Specifically for regular tracks when you have crossfade on?

just confirmation from someone here in the UK and they too are getting this bar. Seems some have it and others don't. Rather strange

Wondering whether I should do another clean install 🤔

Wait until Tuesday when the RC is out. No sense in re-flashing the same buggy beta.

Haven't seen this reported... I am having a new issue that I've never seen before. I have two home screen pages set up, both with widgets, folders and individual icons. Every so often, I'm losing the second page. Soft/Hard restart, power off/on, etc. do not seem to bring it back. Yet after awhile, it reappears on its own.

While it is gone, I do not have the option to readd the icons for the apps from that page to the home screen from the App Library, because it thinks/knows that they already exist. Yet, that home screen page is completely gone, even if I use the "Edit Pages" on the home screen configuration menu. It's not available to select to enable.

Makes sense. Reflashing is a tedious abd laborious task. Done it once already last week when I was having banner issues with mail. Thankfully the refresh fixed that issue. And now to hope Tuesdays release fixes this odd box issue as as I typed I can't see what I'm typing!😂

Can you still open App Library or the Widget Today View thing on the left side?
