iOS 27 Beta 5 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[iCrow]

Fix: My cameras came back online in Home!

Broken: Weird black bar in Messages at the top. Closing it and reopening it fixes it, but it does come back.

Disable transparency in accessibility ; enable it again and restart 😉

I know this is the iOS post, but I don't see an iPadOS post, so I'll drop this here.

On basically all iPadOS versions, through 27 B1-B4, the percentage and battery icon were separate, in B5 they are integrated together like the iPhone!

All my AirTags still show as address unavailable in find my. Zooming out by pinching out is also super buggy in find my.

AutoMix still doesn’t consistently show the “Mixing” text during transitions

It still leaves a “hard” edge afterwards.

The Home app is doing the same thing.

Oh, and one of my HomePods factory reset itself. Now that I re-added it, it has a network issue. Yay.

Measure app fixed on my 17 Pro, seemed to mainly affect EU versions.

AutoMix continues to be unavailable with Hi-Res Lossless, but at least now has a splash screen explaining why the button is greyed out.

Erm… aren’t HomePod Minis supposed to BE Home Hubs?

Edit: it just resolved itself (after recreating my stereo pair, after one of the HomePods factory reset itself after updating).

AutoMix still doesn’t mix while using high res lossless audio quality.

Already reported the overlaying blur in messages. Only happens when you’ve pinned contacts.

Finally managed to install it on the iPhone. No luck with that Mac yet tho…

Cards in the wallet look bad.

Feels very smooth on my 16 Pro

Personalize Smart Replies seems new.

For those in the UK now seeing 5G+ on EE… for me I’ve noticed that if you turn 5G SA off it will still show 5G+ on the screen until you toggle 4G on and back to 5G…

I think your beta is bugging, or it just can’t cope with white on grey?

Yeah, I think the rest of the cards look good.

Same here. I’m also seeing an issue where the keyboard occasionally doesn’t appear in Spotlight when I swipe down from the Home Screen.

It’s happening in Home, Phone, and Mail too.

I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence with this new beta, but I stopped getting verification texts when signing in to various accounts. This is with AT&T.

The new clock's font!

Not working.
Still happening for me. If I open any message thread and then go back to the conversation list, the top header becomes too large and overlaps the content underneath. 🤷‍♀️
