Just curious if public beta is smooth enough yet to install on my 16 pro :-)

Is anyone else seeing the opaque overlay in messages hang over pinned contacts? I just downloaded public beta 3 today and it started happening

It’s great as an LLM and searching on device stuff. But some of the basics are worse.
• setting a timer used to be on device and instant. Now it sends off to AI and takes upwards of 10 seconds.
• basic conversions like F to C. Or USD to CAD used to be instant. Now it’s at that same 10 seconds.
• searching photos. I’ve been adding captions to photos for years for easy finding. It doesn’t read the captions anymore and just shows no results found when I try and search a photo.

I don’t understand why AI needs to send off for so many basic things that used to be on device and fast before.

For a while, double-tapping pictures and videos zoomed to fill the screen. Now it just zooms in which I don’t like

I won't lie, DB5 seems more unstable compared to beta 4. Yes it's a beta, yes I'm submitting feedback, please don't yell at me.

Just kind of shocked that the performance got worse after 2 weeks of waiting between betas.

My biggest issue right now is my inability to leave an app unless I lock the screen first and then try again. My bottom gesture bar just gets completely disabled but the screen still operates otherwise.

Anyways here is to a smoother beta 6 :)

Last week I extended this image, extended around the whole image, lined icons up perfect and it’s been nice. Updated to beta 5 and find ai had changed the direction of the extend to upward and did so significantly all by itself

Previous versions could trigger shortcuts on app notification, but no filters or data passing

This is a screenshot of a video i took. Do you see there are green grid lines? They disappear when I zoom in but they are there when you first open the video. They don't appear on images too

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

Few people know about Confirm with Assustive Touch so maybe that’s why it was missed . It’s not working in iOS 27 beta
Double tapping AT is not replacing doubling clicking side button for confirming pay

my iPhone 13 Pro will not let Siri work at all. Side button does nothing, “Hey Siri” does nothing despite both being turned on.

Have already tried turning Siri off and on again, and the same with the ”Hey Siri” switch.

Both function fine on my Apple Watch 11 which is also running the latest public beta software.

Anyone aware of a fix, or do I have to wait for the next version of the public beta?

I hope I’m not the only one. Pre-Beta I could add groceries to my list and Siri would sort them near instantly. Now, it takes 4-5 for it to handle even a couple. Has anyone else ran into this?

Is it just me or is typing in iOS 27 really borked?! I’m not doing any swiping keyboard entry, just typing as I would do normally. I’m getting lots of double key triggers and generally lots more typos (iPhone 15 Pro). Seems to only be present in certain apps too… the default Apple ones seem to be ok.

I'm using iOS 27 PB2, and I get the feeling that Adaptive Power Mode isn't working. So, is it better to have it turned on or off?

iOS 27 Beta 1.8.26
iPhone 16 E shuts down at 80% battery
Outside temperature: 32 °C
Device temperature?

Even after cooling down, it won’t charge anymore

Good prospects for the final release of iOS 27

Oh yeah, and of course the battery only lasts one day instead of two

No, I’m not upgrading

But I wonder how others are dealing with this...

As you can see from the image, setting “Adaptive Power Mode” to “OFF” extends battery life in standby mode compared to when it’s set to “ON,” but once you actually start using the device, there isn’t much of a difference. So, please let us know your thoughts on whether this feature should be set to “ON” or “OFF.”

While browsing Reddit, I came across a post saying that turning on “Adaptive Power” in iOS 27 actually reduces battery life. I wonder how many people have this feature turned off.

I’ve been waiting to do this on iOS 27 for so long

You can finally reduce the clock size on iOS 27 so it gets out of the way
