iOS 27 Beta 3 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Artemiz]

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?

I’m not sure where you’re getting your info from but apps can’t co-conspire behind the scenes. While a rogue app can get stuck in the background rarely, apps are suspended unless they’re required to be active like Spotify during active playback or calling apps. And if a process is stuck in the background, it will be visible in the battery usage.

You chose to believe something without any evidence but refuse to accept something that Craig Federighi himself confirmed?

Same for my ipad M4.

Me too, on 17 Pro, went from 26 to 27db3. Photos and Mail definitely still indexing.

 

[dereknas]

Phone finished indexing but Apple Watch Siri still updating. I thought both are related.

 

[yeah]

Is anyone else having a serious bug where Safari bookmarks and reading lists do not sync with macOS?

I turned off Safari in iCloud (had to log out), and then turned it back on only to find that all of my bookmarks are in a completely different “Favorites” folder that does not appear on the start page. Manually setting the start page “Favorites” folder corrects the start page problem, but now I am stuck with a second “Favorites” folder and no syncing with my Mac.

This happened to me with DB2.

I still have a second "Favorites" folder on my iPhone, but after selecting the appropriate Favorites on both Mac and iPhone, the syncing worked fine for all Bookmarks folders.

YES! I’ve been dealing with this since B2. Didn’t see any other reports so I thought it was an issue with my iCloud. Filing a bug report now

24 hours and the new indexing message is gone. Had my 17 Pro plugged in a lot of that time.

Miss the indexing message, don't you? LOL It's Indexing as usual, but they removed the message.

 

[Ledsteplin]

Looks like the lockscreen color issue has been fixed.

 

[Parowdy]

Please, somebody tell me I am not the only one with an issue zooming into photos. At a certain point when zooming in all HDR detail is lost.

Same here. Not sure when it started.

 

[Travis299]

Indexing done a little over 24 hours after installing beta 3. Most of the time off the charger.

Ditto

 

[kevman8396]

Is anyone having an issue installing the DB3 IPSW in iTunes? I get this message but I have the most recent version of iTunes.

 

[digitalfx]

Mine still there too. Have you restarted your Home hub?

yes, tried all the obvious things. They are not in shortcuts as others have reported...they are just gone

 

[4LSD]

Something in the Music app looks different to me… is the favorite button a little different? Or the “…” next to it? Something feels slightly changed to me…

This is a classy record.

I love listening to this - Brilliant with decent headphones and in the car

I’ve gotten a lot of great music discoveries over the years from peoples screenshots. Not familiar with this artist, but so far my interest is piqued

Siri now learns from your usage and automatically suggests actions based on the content.

It’s a work in progress but still a cool trick.

Another example:

Seems like indexing has stuck again. Hasn’t moved from 38% all night while it’s been charging.

I have 7 devices all with the latest beta on it. All finished the latest round of index yesterday… ( mix of old and new devices that range from 25gb of data up to 900Gb )

 

[TheCart]

They really need to fix this. If backup fails for whatever reason, don't wait another 24 hours to try again!
It happens at least once a month

Weird. My 512gb iPhone is only half filled with primarily photos and it’s stuck…

First beta I was stuck for 3 days on one device at 60% me, being me found a video that was toast. I deleted it a few days later my index finished. Fell like there might be a few bugs in the index system still

Sounds about right. It never finished on DB1 for me but didn’t see the message on DB2. Now it’s stuck on DB3 again.

didn't appear on my 16PM on Beta1 and 2, but appeared on Beta 3 for the first time ... and gone after 36h

 

[BradleyinDC]

Indexing finished on 13 Mini (was plugged in) but still indexing on backup SE3 (wireless charging and started later).

I dont cite someone else's evidence. I come here to report my own evidence. On several occasions I have had unusually high battery usage and on each occasion it has involved the two apps I quoted in the background. Times Radio and Spotify. Both background streaming apps.
Where do you get your assertion that background apps cannot go rogue? If you say personal experience then fine, you have been lucky.
