Progress % of optimizing just appeared in settings for me. Weird. Wasn’t there yesterday after update but suddenly appeared tonight.

Curious if anyone running iOS 27 has noticed whether group message avatars now get the same background color options as contact avatars. The washed out pastel colors are getting old.
 
On DB2, most of my automations failed apart from time-based ones.

These are now failing on DB3. I'll toggle them all off and on, and see what happens later tonight and tomorrow.

Edit: They're working so far. I'll keep updating this post!

Started in B2 and still not fixed yet in B3. In Spotlight search, an app’s icon disappears completely if it appears in the suggested list and receives an update; icons remain visible when apps don’t get updated. Searching again multiple times, or restarting the device to refresh the icons, restores them. This issue occurs whenever an app is updated and it happens to be in the list; it’s 100% repeatable.

First impression is pretty good. Fast and fluid but also said I never had huge issues or huge pain with iOS 26. iOS 26.0 was really rough but since 26.1 it was pretty fine on the 17 pro.
Looking forward to the new Siri in the EU.
 
DB3 has brought back the CarPlay disconnect issues I had in DB1. It always comes back up after 20-30 seconds but it's really annoying on a car trip.

Also Google Maps seems broken for me in DB3 in CarPlay. When I start a route in CarPlay, it doesn't show any directions in CarPlay's Google Maps display. I didn't have this issue on DB2.
Not yet, I switched to wired and have yet to have an issue in the last 2 weeks since I did so. I will try this week perhaps

Just reported this last night was not aware it is tied to updated apps
 
You don’t need to close an app for battery savings. iOS takes care of it much more efficiently. You’d actually be consuming more battery if you kill apps, especially frequently used ones.
...
In theory, yes.
in practice if I have multiple streaming apps like Times Radio and Spotify in the background they can co conspire to run together snd use loads of battery. Hard to reproduce but it has happened.
Personally I close them all occasionally, and nobody can persuade me that having 35 apps in the background uses no resources. RAM surely?

Automation test.

Please create an automation that turns on low power mode when apple
Maps is opened ( saves a lot of battery power ) and it will be given a default name.

Like this it did not run for me.

Now rename the automations to Apple Maps and save changes.

After renaming all my automations work 100% of the time.
