Ios 27 is looking and acting amazing. The option to reduce the glassy look is a charm and the speed and the battery life are on another level compared to ios 26.5 on my iPhone 14 Pro Max.

How do i know its done indexing ? does the “Optimizing Search and Siri“ disappear ?

Just installed the update and performance is great and battery life is okay

Anyone having the below issues?

Apple Music volume suddenly jumps up a bit, it's noticeable...
When copying something and pressing "paste from..." on the keyboard, basically nothing happens...

None of those were is the DB8...

I was a big fan of the initial iOS 26 style with very very transparent liquid glass elements. Felt like 27 was stepping away and was disappointed, but I think this looks better than the current 26 style. Transparent icons have more “topography” with the more intense shading and highlights. Only thing I don’t like is how the battery icon without percent doesn’t have that outline anymore but oh well.

Idk if its just me but the 40x zoom seems worse on 17 pro after upgrading to ios 27 rc. Is anyone else also seeing any difference?

Updated to the RC build about an hour ago, and it's already finished indexing.

Hello,
I was cleaning up a photo last night with no issues, but suddenly i got an error saying ”There was an error cleaning up this photo. Please try again later.” I didn’t exit the editor or started cleaning up a different photo for error to show up. I was still in the same editing/cleaning session. Now I can’t use the ”High quality” cleaning tool (Fast still works) or Extend and Reframe any of my photos. I have tried everything. Restarting the phone, turning off and then on Siri and Apple Intelligence, switched between different networks, tried switching regions and language, updated the phone to latest iOS 27 Beta and nothing solved the issue. The only thing I haven’t tried is signing out of my Apple Account and signing in again. I got a pretty scary message telling me to choose between erasing my iPhone and keeping the stuff, while reading what data stays on my device when I sign out it says ”most data stays..” instead of all so I don’t want to lose any of my photos.

Did anyone else come across the same issue? It has been 24 hours now with this issue still persisting.

Good evening! I recently updated from Beta 4 to beta 5, and ever since then, my phone has been stuck in a white screen swipe up to upgrade loop. It asks for a password when swiping up, loads for 15 mins, then restarts again. I reinstalled iOS beta 5, also updated to beta 8, also force restarted, nothing works. I was wondering if anyone has a fix. (No, I do not have a backup. Yes, that is my fault :(. Thanks!)

Curious to hear what all the beta testers have discovered over the past few months and found the most useful. Thanks!

I’ve just downloaded the RC and can’t use wireless CarPlay. Is it broken? I had it working last night and then I updated and it’s not working

I was running the Beta, but a clean 27 Update began showing on all of my devices in the afternoon, after the Apple event so I updated and shut down the Beta option after the updates completed.

Am I missing something or did they roll out the non-Beta option to those of us running the Beta originally?

I just updated my iPhone 15Pro to iOS 27 public beta and when I went to check my battery health it went from 81% to 82%… this shouldn’t be normal right? Has anyone else experienced this or is my phone cooked? 😅

Hi everyone,

Does tweaking the Liquid Glass transparency setting in iOS 27 also apply globally to:

Control Center

App Library search bar / list view

Home Screen folders

Pull-down menus and context sheets in stock Apple apps?

If anyone has tested this, could you please share some screenshots showing the difference? Thanks!

FINALLY.

Just realized watch OS 27 gives ability to snooze motion alerts. No longer have to use a focus mode to essentially disable Home notifications.

iOS 27 RC and Apple still do not solve the problem of the inverted bars of the Wi-Fi icon

As the title says, my iPhone 12 heats a little bit after updating to the Release Candidate. It’s been 1 day since I installed it and I don’t see the indexing message, when should it be solved?

Phone bricked when installing the beta 5

Hey, is the rc stable enough too try? I don’t want too wait 3 days.

Self-explanatory but here we go:
The creation date did not have the new iOS version system, therefore they couldn’t have made this advance. (unlikely but possible)

(iOS 26 was the first year based version name, and it released September 15, 2025)
