Anyone else have the digital ID (US Passport in apple wallet) "deactivated by apple" ?

Hmm an interesting find. On iPhone Air, camera settings no longer have 48MP listed as an option, it's either 12 or 24. (Coming from iOS 26). Is it a bug, or what is the deal what that? But if you go into the Camera app, you can switch to 48MP at the top... strange.

Yes! Was about to post about this.

I don't have my actual passport book on me, but when I went to go re-add it (or try to) it asked if I wanted to put it on my phone, or phone+watch. I kind of remember not being able to do it on both devices previously, but I could be wrong.

Just posted on home page of Macrumors:
For anyone who's experienced the lengthy post-update indexing process when trialing the beta version of iOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, or visionOS 27: Apple has published a Spotlight support document that explains what's going on.

Changes were made and/or there was a bug in the betas. Apple deactivated them in iOS 27 to force you to re-add them.

iOS 27 Tweaks Apple Wallet's U.S. Passport Feature

iOS 27 tweaks some of the information and menus shown alongside the Digital ID passport feature in the Apple Wallet app. As a result of these changes and/or a related bug, some iPhone users have seen their Digital ID deactivated on recent iOS 27 beta versions. Apple says affected users must...

You could add on both iPhones and Watch before on 26.

"Potential fix identified" for Spotlight text field jumping into place

How can you tell how far along it is?

That is the only percentage I have seen with all the betas so far except db6 which never showed a percentage . Of course I don`t sit here looking at it constantly so it may show higher but all I have seen is 33% and then done

It’s already been identified before Beta 7 came out.

Can someone please confirm if the following has been fixed in Ios 27.

Previous to ios 26, if you called a phone number multiple times, it used to have the number of calls in brackets, but more importantly pressing i next to the call would give you the call times for each call.

In ios 26, say you called the same number 4 times, now when you press i, it only gives you the call time of the last call.

Can anyone on ios 27 beta confirm if this has now been fixed, or if not how it can be raised with the ios development team.

Finally, i know you have an option called call history, however for some reason not all calls show, and facetime/ whatsapp calls are not showing at all.

Thanks

It works. It shows the last call time, but there’s a call history field above it that shows prior calls and time.

I’m using the new consolidated view introduced in iOS 26.

The new Siri, entering a word causes an AI search. Spotlight used to give the on device loaded dictionaries. Not sure if there’s still utility with downloading dictionaries, especially cross language translation ones with new Siri.

Identified by Apple I mean.

I understand, but it didn’t show for me in Feedback Assistant until today

I guess this is because we described the same issue slightly differently in all our feedbacks. 😉

Refresh my memory, is this the beta where AI escapes and destroys humanity?

No this is the AI that destroys all of your personal information.

This screen must be relatively new; during earlier iOS 27 betas there wasn’t much of an explanation re: impersonation risk detection
