When my new Siri showed up, there was no notification. I was eager for it too.. found out by checking settings! Alas, with indexing still running for me (95% for two days at least) it seems a little wonky sometimes? I also get hit or miss capabilities. Beta 2 soon! =)

Battery life sucks but it’s beta 1, I didn’t expect much lol

New Siri has been hit or miss for basic tasks, haven’t tried much of the complex ai stuff yet.

Indexing took about 8 days to finish (only charging when I go to bed for about 5-6 hours at a time)

Honestly pretty impressed with a beta 1 so far, Apple is definitely going in the right direction with this update.

You mention battery life, it's not so bad for me.. but I notice it. My question, once indexing finished did you notice it snap back to better battery longevity?

This beta 1 is the most stable I've seen Apple in years, as strange as that must sound. I'm kinda shocked they 'held back' so much of the underneath while we were scrambling under the iOS 26 beta system.. but hey, it's here and looks and feels great!

Yes! I am. Also when scrolling it is very jittery.

Mine has been rock solid from the first MINUTE. Scrolling is liquid and fast, no jitters.. and icons don't delay on boot to fill in as before. Graphically, it's intensely solid in my experience (iPhone Air)

wierd for for me on my air 27 beta 1 is more stable then 26.5.1 lol

Agreed. I think it's fine for everyday use for non-tech beta-scared folk as well, to be honest.

One friend installed it, and he's talking about how nice the updated 'auto-mix' for playlists has become! Just got home, and on the drive home I had Apple Music just run a radio station for me (play some music) to sample what he's jazzed about (I usually listen to albums straight through). The mix from "Say So" by Augustus Pablo into "Insane in the Brain" by Cypress Hill .. was CRAZY good to me! I rewound a few times to pick up the details of how the AI determined how to get it mixed in.. it cooked me. Um, my wife was not impressed haha

Spelling and incorrect words seem worse than before, although I admit I also reset my iPhone dictionary at around the same time as the update, based on some advice on a different thread about persistent bad dictation outcomes here.

I'm mixed here as well. Today I had a terrible time getting the word 'also' to NOT spell-correct into craziness. I'm also seeing that when the squiggly underline suggests a change in what I've typed for texting, the word itself disappears unless I tap the area to see what the fuss is about.

Overall, a fantastic experience so far; a few more days and we'll see what beta 2 addresses =)

Question for those who upgraded two devices connected to the same iCloud account:
Does the second device did the indexing too? If so, was it faster than for the first device?
I'm trying to know if there's some kind of shared index between devices (especially for iCloud Drive docs, iMessage etc) or if every device needs to index by itself
Click to expand...
Did my 17 PM & my M4 iPad Pro… both did the indexing thing. Both are STILL indexing.

Checked the progress on my iPhone 2 days ago and it was supposedly at 95%. Figured it would complete that night. (Silly me 🤣)

Does anyone else have the problem that you can only search through e-mails that are less than year old?
I keep e-mails for about 7 years. But today I wanted to search for an e-mail which I knew I received last year, but it didn't show up in search results. It turns out that search results now only show e-mails that are newer than 1 year. It doesn't matter if you search through spotlight or directly in the mail app. It is also the same on iOS, macOS and even iCloud.com. In the screenshots, you can see that I received an e-mail about the WWDC25 on June 13th 2025. I can scroll to it in my inbox. I can open it and read everything, but it won't show up in any search results, no matter if you search for content or metadata.
I filed a bug report for this in the feedback app.

Also, a full 1.5 week after installing, my phone still says it is indexing.

You answered your own question: “a full week and a half after installing… still indexing”

Reported a bug

When taking a screenshot and you edited the screen before saving it, it doesn't save the changes i.e if you cropped it or marked it etc. it only saves the original copy

This may have to do with the progress of indexing. I’ve been at 95% for more than two days now (that’s how long I’ve been aware of progress) and my size is at 19.01 GB currently

My mac doesn’t seem to show that it’s indexing anymore. Only my iPhone is still indexing….
 
FB23237729 - reported

There is no way to change the calendar color for the "Siri Suggestions" "Birthdays" (only available on Mac?) or "Scheduled Reminders" calendars

I move relevant Siri Suggestions into one of my own calendars then delete the original.

I also run an Applescript to copy all the Birthday ones into one of my own calendars, as I want to customise the alerts depending on which Contacts group they're in. This would probably be easier as a Shortcut nowadays, so could be done on iOS rather than having to use a Mac.

However, I've just checked and you're right - colour can't be changed on iOS or MacOS 27.

For those having intermittent WiFi issues, which devices are having the issues? I've noticed the issue on my iPhone Air, but not much on my iPhone 17 Pro Max. I'm curious if the issue is more prevelant on the Air due to Apple's C1X modem.

One bug that Apple has to fix, if you pull down for Siri type in the box and get a notification, your text is gone and have to re type it again.., anyone on 27 notice this?

iPhone 17 Pro Max here and it is really persistent. Even Bluetooth keeps disconnecting and connecting back

That’s a very old bug made great again, though it’s only happened once to me with this beta. You might try, if it happens again, taking a subsequent screenshot. Way back when that used to cause the initial screenshot to revert to the cropped version you first took. I submitted several reports back in ios 17. It was eventually fixed. This time (fingers crossed) it’s only happened once.

Which could be quite dangerous especially if you're taking a screenshot of something that has PII and you don't want the receiver to see that
 
Why are people so surprised that indexing takes a week or longer? This is not the classic indexing you know, it‘s probably preparing the semantic index used by the LLM models for semantic searching via vector embeddings.

Creating embeddings is not as straight forward and takes more hardware resources / longer.
