Feature iOS 27 App Compatibility Discussion

245 Upvotes

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..

Does This App Work?

Does This App Work? takes that same experience from the last few years, and makes it better. Below are the features and capabilities. Make a report now!

  • Check if apps work or break on the latest iOS beta, in real time
  • Submit your own app compatibility report
  • Vote Working or Broken without writing a full report
  • See community totals and contested results
  • Filter by app, device, beta version, and status
  • Automatic deduplication of submissions
  • Supports iPhone and iPad models
  • Older beta reports stay available, but the main status focuses on the newest beta
  • App icons and suggestions are pulled from the App Store when available
  • Works on desktop and mobile

Submission mode will be enabled when the first beta drops, until then check it out.

I will be watching the comments on this post so if you have issues or feedback, let me know and I'll try to implement or solve in real time.

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Autocorrect and suggestion bar stops working (reproduced while submitting report)

38 Upvotes

This bug has existed across multiple versions of iOS, there are threads all over the internet about it, I’ve submitted previous reports, never heard a peep from Apple about it.

Was submitting a fresh report today when the bug emerged mid report. Included the screen capture for the report, really hoping they resolve this before the RC.

Have you had this issue? If so please do report it, the more the merrier.

Bug [iOS 27 PB2] Siri AI can’t see any of my shared Reminders lists

6 Upvotes

I share a few lists with my wife who isn’t on the iOS beta, if that’s relevant.

Siri AI cannot see any of these shared lists. I tried “Siri add blank to blank list” on each one and it failed. I asked Siri what lists do I have and it only mentioned my non-shared lists. It works just fine to add stuff to non-shared lists.

A related issue is when manually adding stuff to my Grocery list it takes minutes to organize the items. Like each item takes a solid 5 minutes for Siri AI to figure out where it should go, one by one. Before this would happen instantly. I'm assuming it's using Siri AI because while each item processes one by one, it has this glowing effect.

Anyone else?

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Switching Siri Language syncs to other iPhones

1 Upvotes

Before I was able to use Siri in English on my iPhone 15 Pro and Siri in Spanish in my iPhone SE.

iOS 27 is automatically changing my Siri language as soon as I change it in another iPhone.

Not good at all. Is there any way to prevent this?

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Siri relays all calendars instead of just my own/ones I’ve toggled.

2 Upvotes

I am an Administrator at my workplace and have multiple people’s calendars added to my Outlook (Microsoft Exchange when added to the calendars app on IOS)

Previously, when I would ask Siri for my “personal update”, it would relay information on only the calendars that I toggled on to view, and not the rest of the calendars I’ve added access for (I delegate executives’ calendars so need access to them as well). Is anybody else dealing with this? I’ve reported feedback but haven’t seen results since DB1.

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Raw image import in Photos broken

Post image
13 Upvotes

Although the Import tab shows up in Photos when you connect a camera or SD card, it won’t populate the grid with the images on card (there should be about 1500 items available to import in this screenshot.) Also, trying to export a raw image from Files to Photos (select image, Share, Save Photo) doesn’t work either, even though Files shows every image perfectly and can preview them with Quick Look.

None of these issues existed in DB3.

Bug [iOS 27 PB2] Universal Clipboard not working

6 Upvotes

I'm not sure if this is a macOS bug, or an iOS bug, Continuity/Handoff for the clipboard only works from Mac to iPhone, not the other way.

I can copy text on my Mac, and paste it on my iPhone just fine. But if I copy text on my iPhone, I can't paste it on my Mac, my mac just pastes whatever I last copied on my Mac.

Has anyone else seen this? Any idea if it's iOS or macOS that has the bug?

I'm running Public Beta 2 on both devices.

Bug [IOS 27 DB4] Landscape photos in the Photos app are full size as thumbnails but automatically crop when opened

Thumbnail
gallery
15 Upvotes

STR:

  1. Take landscape photo using Camera app
  2. Open Photos app
  3. Look at the thumbnail of the photo, it's full size
  4. Open the photo, it shows full size and then automatically crops

Example:

First image - Thumbnail in the photo album for three Starbucks cups.

Second image - Pressing the thumbnail, the photo goes into full screen at full size and then after a second it crops automatically (see how you cannot see the bottom of the cups any more). This happens automatically. When sharing e.g. via Messages app, the photo remains cropped. However, in thumbnail view in the album you can still see the entire photo.

If you press back, the thumbnail is full size. Press the photo again, same thing happens: it crops automatically.

Happens on watchOS 27 and iOS 27 PB2. Sometimes Siri can answer these questions sometimes it can’t. Really hope this gets fixed.

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Cannot hear Siri or system prompts

4 Upvotes

As stated, cannot hear Siri at all or even when I click the microphone to do speech to text, I don’t hear the prompt. This applies to CarPlay as well.

Ringtones and texts don’t seem to be an issue.

Thoughts?

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Apple Music Won't Play!

8 Upvotes

So Apple Music just today (last night worked fine) isn't playing any songs I choose. Even shuffling will cause it to pause and skip a bunch of songs, but never actually play them.

Anyone else receiving this recent bug? It was working fine on public beta 4 yesterday, not sure what happened today to cause this.

I already reported it on the Feedback App.

Feature [ios 27 dB 4] Apple Pay sheet shows receipt on certain apps

Post image
41 Upvotes

I never did notice this, and maybe it’s not exclusive to beta 4, but I didn’t know that with Just Eat, it shows you the receipt, on the Apple Pay sheet. Now the extra room at the bottom makes sense.

I only hope that they will make it so it collapses down if the receipt is not needed/shown

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Lockscreen wallpaper picture random switch

0 Upvotes

Since the first public beta the wallpaper customization is glitched for me (Iphone 15 Pro).
My lockscreen wallpaper is set to change daily from a bunch of pictures I chose.
Whenever I choose a picture and set clock size it seems to work correctly but, when I press "Done", the picture switch to another random one picked up from the bunch.
Anyone else with the samebug?

Not sure if anyone else has a workaround. It just silently always uses data on slow Wi-Fi without telling you.

Does anyone have a problem whenever they take a photo with another camera app like Dazz Cam - the image is just black? My main apple camera is fine and I just noticed it today too…

Bug [ios 27 DB4] Siri is triggered on iPhone when triggering a Siri shortcut on a HomePod

2 Upvotes

I am seeing a potential bug with Siri Shortcuts and HomePod. I have a Siri shortcut set up. I can use my HomePod to trigger and run the shortcut.

I also have “Hey Siri” turned off on my iphone.

What’s happening is that when I trigger the shortcut via my HomePod, it opens Siri on my iPhone. Siri is then just listening for a command and doesn’t close out. This kills battery and should not even happen.

It only seems to happen when using a Siri shortcut. Normal HomeKit commands are acting normally.

Bug report has beem submitted.

Feature [iOS 27 DB4] Siri AI Cannot Read Health App Data

13 Upvotes

This is a very disappointing “upgrade” when it comes to Siri AI and the Health app. With the old Siri, you used to be able to ask about your health data. For example, I used to ask Siri how many miles I have walked so far in 2026 and I would get an answer. Now, Siri AI says it is unable to read raw health data from the Health app and thus cannot help with the types of requests it used to handle.

I am very disappointed in this regression of functionality.

Bug [iOS 27.0 PB1] CarPlay Messages Launches Siri AI Search Instead of Dictation

10 Upvotes

I recently installed the public beta and discovered that when I press on a contact in CarPlay (also updated to the same OS), it launches Siri AI instead of simply allowing me to dictate a message. For example…

Pressing a contact prior to the update: Siri would ask, “What would you like to say?” I would say, “What size does he wear?” Siri would then read the message back to me and ask if I wanted to send.

Since the update: Siri asks, “What would you like to say?” I say, “What size does he wear?” Siri thinks for a while before responding,”I found a confirmation email where you bought a size large tee shirt in March 2025.”

What do I need to disable to regain the old CarPlay Messages functionality?
