She will have to go to her phone settings and disable Calls on other devices , or it’s because your both on the same Apple ID

Its disabled, not the same ID

Have you done a force restart?

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

Have you tried hitting the check mark on the right side of it?

Has anyone had issues reading text in Direct Messages on X? They look dark and difficult to read. It's not that way on my little SE 3rd generation.

I don't even know what it is for. But when I tap on the checkmark, the keyboard goes away. I see it on other forums. So it must be an Apple thing. Strange, as doesn't seem to have a purpose or function. I use TapaTalk most of the time. It's not on TapaTalk.

Sorry can’t compare it, got it a week ago and installed iOS 26 right away

Well, it doesn’t matter
Maybe that’s because 16e has a good battery, even in iOS 26 (because I’m reading that iOS 26 has a great consumption).

Thanks!

Yup. Hitting the tick gets rid of the box. But as soon as you reenter any text box, it reappears.

And definitely an Apple Safari glitch as I'm testing this forum on Chrome and no ridiculous and pointless box is appearing.

One bug I noticed recently is when I’m out walking wearing my AirPods in noise cancellation mode and I come to a busy/noisy street the AirPods will start turning up the volume but they don’t stop. The volume keeps going up and up. I have to pull out my phone to turn the volume down. I hope that’s fixed when the RC drops.

Is personal volume turned on?

In the last beta on, for whatever reason, the volume on my Apple Watches (series 4 & 8) goes down to zero, neither watch is on the beta. Not sure what causes it. Hope this one fixes that issue. Also hope that it fixes the terrible battery drain, which was noticeably worse on my 16PM. Somehow, the battery was excellent on my 12PM last beta. Hope that continues.

The same battery issue has occurred with my 16PM. It’s now draining much more quickly than on the previous version, and I can’t figure out why.

 

[Valter_Almeida]

For me the battery life is really bad

Same here!

I wonder why Apple doesn't extend the iOS 26 feature "Time To Battery 80%" to watchOS 26. Apple Intelligence should be able to handle it! Let the iPhone calculate it if the Apple Watch doesn't have the CPU power to do it itself.

This weird rendering bug in the Weather app where color bands appear at the right side of each weather card has been around since Beta 6 and still present on Beta 9.

Filed a feedback then, and still being left in “open” status. FB19442034

Very interesting. Mine isn't doing that, at least not at the moment.

Mine has stabilized since the last update.

Same issue here except it’s my wife’s Mac mini.

Hi guys please help me to delete my wifes Ipad from here... beta 9...

I have the same issue as you, got my mum's iPad on the list. Hitting that iPad does not have any function, the call wont' be routed there.

and yes
that iPad is on latest iPadOS, not the same Apple ID, tried disabling and enabling call nearby.

 

[uhaas]

As far as I can tell it works in all browsers

You can also make a control center shortcut to the feedback app

I don’t know what that is.

 

[Stiille]

I don’t know what that is.

Go into your AirPods Settings, there is the setting somewhere

I am convinced too, that I will buy the 17 PM 100% - so I already sold my 15 PM before the prices fall, I am 100% confident that I will like the 17 PM, so some of us don’t need reviews for decide what to buy

I noticed this morning that via the Apple Support app (my screen became severely scratched, was thinking of swapping it for $29 under AppleCare+) - they offered me $210 for my iP 16 P as a trade-in

Wow, $210! That's terrible.. yah, so timing is pretty essential when selling almost-old iPhones for sure

I sold my 14PM to Gazelle for $473 - $430 plus a 10% bonus for selling it early. It was my "test phone" for the betas, and I'm happy with my 16PM as my daily driver for the next year or two.
