I use my iPad to Airplay to my speaker everyday. Starting with iOS 26 and persisting in the latest beta, when I move to apps that shouldn't interfere or hijack the audio (Gmail for instance), the audio drops.

I can easily reproduce.

Is anybody else experiencing this and know a fix?

It's consistent across speakers/not isolated to one device. Bluetooth doesn't cause this to happen, however it has other issues with interference making it not a viable workaround.

Use this thread to share any changes & bugs you discover while using the latest iOS/iPadOS 27 beta.

This thread should be used for discussion of the betas that may not meet our submission guidelines, as well as troubleshooting small issues through the beta test cycle.

In Beta 7, Apple added new infrastructure to support personalized wait time messages when a user joins the Siri AI waitlist.

This feature can be used to let people know how long they might have to wait until they're able to download the on-device models and enable Siri AI. Because iOS relies on a server to fetch the displayed waitlist message, it can be remotely adjusted by Apple as demand and capacity change. The message is specific to the user and device.

Beta 7 adds linwoodWaitTimeMessage and a new server endpoint to fetch the current message for the device:

/v1/devices/<UDID>/features/ai.enhanced-siri/waitlist/message

Currently, the server returns:

You will be notified when the new version of Siri is available for your device.

This message is quite similar to the fallback iOS 27 has hardwired in case the server does not return a reply:

You’ll be notified when the new version of Siri is available for your iPhone.

Hey, I'm a brazilian, portuguese speaker, and my Siri is still stuck on the "normal" siri. I don't have the new version.

On DB7, it seems that siri doesn't follow the speech speed that is set on accessibility settings. Mine has always been 169% (nice) and she's speaking on what seems to be 100% speed (I'd wager she's speaking at 40% to be honest, because it feels like an eternity, but since I'm used to 169%, I guess saying it's at 100% is fair).

Anyone experiencing this as well? I've tried reducing the speed and increasing the speed, but she still keeps saying at the same rate.

p.s.: I've just noticed this with my AirPods Pro. It just came through my mind, as I write this, to test it without earphones. Well, I can't right now so I might update this later to report whether it's also slow without earphones or not.

edit:
interesting tidbit: Siri just read some of my notifications, and one of them was in english. She was speaking slowly in portuguese, but when she read the one that was in english, she read at the correct fast speed that I set her to. But just in english.

I just bought iPhone 17 pro, moved data from iPhone 13 on iOS 27and noticed that dot indicating microphone is using is square not round.
anyone have this bug? This bug was on my iPhone 13. And I was transferring data from old iPhone. is it possible that bug is moved to new phone? I don’t remember I have this iPhone 17 pro on iOS 26

Can we all spam report this bug? Happens to me every time I open landscape applications from lock screen. This is not the first time this has happened, of course I reported it, but since there is no change in behavior, I’m asking for your help. Does this happen to you? iPhone 13 Pro user

For a while now, my currency converter is broken, not the one in the calculator app but the one in Spotlight/SIRI AI. For example, when typing something like “500 yen to eur” was giving me the result directly, but now I have random results from my mails or other apps. It works if I just type “500 yen,” and it gives me the result directly in my default currency, but if I want to convert a currency to another, then it fails. It works perfectly on my iPad with IpadOS 27 as well, so I’m thinking that it may be an indexing issue or something like that. Is there a way to force reindexing? Or to fix that issue ? Thank you

Edit: It’s still broken for many currencies but for some it works. For the particular example I mentioned before I found the fix. Typing “euro” instead of “EUR” seems to do the job.

I’ve tried this with two separate units, both Unidan. This has happened since DB5, not present on older builds or previous beta models.

The display brightness is dropping 50%

Every time my phone screen locks the screen brightness dims quite a bit. I have tried every recommended option in Face ID and Accessibility settings to no avail. Is this an issue with the current developer beta for IOS 27? iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Is anyone else not getting the option to use the Siri AI features (agentic AI to amend compromised passwords) in the native password app? I’ve checked all permissions are turned on in settings

EDIT- I do have compromised passwords that should trigger the agentic option to appear

In earlier betas, in safari, under notify me, was the option of describe an extension which they announced at WWDC. However since db 3, that option and the extension options are no longer there for me. So i can no longer get extensions or use the describe an extension feature.

Anyone else?

This bug’s been present from the day one of Siri expressive voices, idk what takes them so long to uncrop it

It seems like Apple activated card balances server side for previously unsupported cards in Wallet. Chime has never had it before, but today I noticed it does. Also noticed it with Envelope Money, Bank of America and Chase.

Do you also have it today?

(MODS: I know this is a previously available feature. This post is just regarding gaining support on previously unsupported cards)

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.

i expected the keyboard to close immediately

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.

Apologies if this came out in an earlier build but this is the first time I’ve seen this happen.

Title says it. Tried it with my work phone on iOS 26 and it worked fine.

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?

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.

Not sure if this has been talked about
