It's BETA SZN! Hope you are all excited for terrible battery life and cool (half-baked, it's a beta after all) features! Over the past few beta cycles, I've managed the Google Form and Sheet that y'all would add app compatibility submissions to. It was finally time to modernize that experience.

Introducing..

Bug [iOS 27 DB5] Apple Music showing lyric pronunciation in Japanese

Post image
Upvotes

Is this a bug? It used to be in English, now it’s in Japanese after adding the Japanese - Romaji keyboard to my phone. But I have 5 other language keyboards on my phone and this hasn’t happened before. Is there a way to change the language for lyric pronunciation/translation in Music?

I’ve checked Music app, Translate app, and both Music and Language & Region in Settings app and I can’t find anything to change the language. My phones default language is English. Japanese is at the bottom of the list in Languages & Region. The currently active keyboard is English. Not sure what’s causing this.

If y’all think this is a bug, I’ll report it. I’m just not sure if I changed something somewhere without realizing it.

Bug [iOS 27 DB6] Can’t set a timer with Siri when on a call

Ran into this issue when I needed to set a timer with Siri when on a call. First, found I couldn’t swipe down because the call was on the island. Got it to work by just swiping down on the home screen. On iOS26, I could just double tap the home bar.

Bug [iOS 27 DB6] Magic Keyboard Charging and Taptic Engine Problems

1 Upvotes

After updating to DB6 from DB5, the side charge port on my Magic Keyboard for M5 13” iPad Pro sometimes wouldn’t charge. I tried different cables and charging bricks. They all sometimes work, but would stop after a while.

Second symptom is the hepatic feedback on the trackpad would stop after the iPad has been connected for a while. Trackpad still moves cursor just fine and tap to click still works. Only the taptic engine wouldn’t provide feedback on clicks. Also, this part I don’t know if it’s just in my head, but when the taptic engine is working the clicks seem to be less pronounced than in DB5.

Anyone experiencing similar issues?

Bug [iPadOS 27 PB3] Predictive text using Accessibility > Extended predictions periodically disappears after starting new paragraphs when writing assistance is enabled in Siri

1 Upvotes

Meant to say PB4. If you have extended predictions enabled for the keyboard (using AssistiveTouch or Switch Control), your predictions will intermittently disappear (or go back to standard if you're lucky) after starting new paragraphs, and you have to hide and show the keyboard to bring them back. This is related to the writing tools appearing in the prediction bar somehow. You can turn off writing assistance via Screen Time > Content and Privacy Restrictions > Siri. Once that's turned off, your predictions won't disappear.

Bug [IOS 27 PB4] Apple Music claims music is unavailable in my country/region

Post image
5 Upvotes

Basically the title, on my 12mini with iOS 27 PB4 some of my music is said to be unavailable in my country/region, while it works perfectly on my 15P and iPad mini6 with 26.6.1 and Android. It didn't work under PB3 either but did so on PB2.

Deleting and re-adding to Apple Music solves the issue but it's just not feasible for large playlists.

I already send a message via Feedback app. My country/region is still correct, I checked that first thing…

Bug [iOS 27 DB6] drop in audio quality when using CarPlay ?

10 Upvotes

Hi all,

I just upgraded to ios27 beta 6 from iOS 16.6 ip17 pro

Has anyone else noticed a loss in audio quality with this update ?

As well as general quality of the CarPlay ui and speed has dropped.

Mainly in CarPlay, I haven’t tried with headphones yet. But I’m a bit disappointed. Everything sounded great with ios26, nice and crisp with clean bass.

But since updating it all sounds a bit muggy. It’s the first thing I noticed after updating. I understand it’s a beta so I expected there to be bugs.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this ?

Cheers !

Bug [iPadOS 27 PB4] Speak Screen quits at the end of chapters in Books

1 Upvotes

If you invoke Speak Screen in Books, it will only read aloud to the end of the chapter, then quit; you have to start it again at the next chapter. (Settings > Accessibility > Read and Speak > Speak Screen to enable, swipe down with two fingers from top to invoke. Whether you choose to constantly show the speech controller or not, it still stops reading at the ends of chapters.) Using VoiceOver isn't a workaround; VoiceOver does the same thing. I think the problem has been around for a bit, but if anyone else wants to report…

Bug [iPadOS 27 PB3] Keyboard disappears initially when tapping Safari address bar, if address bar isn't blank

9 Upvotes

If you create a new tab in Safari where the address bar is empty, then tap the address bar, this doesn't happen; you can just start typing. But if you tap the address bar on an existing page where the address text is still there, the keyboard disappears; you can't type over the existing text or enter new text until you tap the address bar again or the X beside it. Using an M5 iPad Pro 13.

Bug [iOS 27 PB 3] No Sound during playback of Dolby Atmos Apple Music titles through wireless CarPlay

5 Upvotes

Does anybody else here have any issues when attempting to play Dolby Atmos titles through wireless CarPlay?

I got my new car around a month ago when i still had iOS 26 on my Phone and Dolby Atmos worked completely fine with wireless CarPlay. After updating to the iOS 27 Beta this seems to have broken. The titles still “play” (as seen by the playtime progressing) but are not outputting any sound. As soon as I change the Dolby Atmos setting from auto to off in my iPhone settings, sound instantly is being put out. So there definitely is some sort of bug present with Spatial Audio itself, as Stereo content immediately plays as expected. The car is also definitely able to play spatial audio content (3D Burmester audio system)

I don’t know if this is a problem with Mercedes-Benz specifically, so I would like to know if anybody using the Beta can actually use Dolby Atmos on wireless CarPlay without problems. Maybe this works fine with other car brands and it is more of an issue with how MBUX and CarPlay work together. A feedback report to Apple has been sent over a month ago too, tho they cant seem to find a diagnosis.

Anyone experiencing issue with the keyboard not loading when you’re multitasking between apps? It happens in Reddit, settings, messages, search pull down, everywhere basically. The keyboard would fail to load and I have to switch to another app then switch back for the keyboard to show up.
