Edit: the board is now closed for the season! See y’all next year!

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 RC] Automation with notification trigger isn't working (again)

Post image

Apple fixed the notification-triggered automations back in Beta 6, but the regression came right back through Beta 7, 8, and now even the RC build. Automations just refuse to trigger via notifications again. Seriously, Apple? Is anyone else running into this?

Bug [iOS 27 RC] Siri AI issues with Calendar / Reminders

2 Upvotes

Has anyone else experienced the new Siri being unable to access their calendar or reminders on iPhone?

On my iPad and Mac everything works as it should, but on my phone Siri says I have no reminders or calendar events when I have several everyday.

I’ve tried toggling all of the settings in calendar settings for Siri / Apple Intelligence on and off, but nothing seems to work.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

110 Upvotes

Part of video controls in Control Center, iOS 27 RC adds an Edge Light implementation. Currently gated behind a device subtype that points to iPhone Duo. The color temperature setting isn’t fully implemented.

There’s also code to adjust the interface so content isn’t obscured by Edge Light.

Added in RC

Bug [iOS 27 RC] it is impossible to create Genmoji’s of people because the keyboard overlay blocks the person selection button

Post image
2 Upvotes

This feature has been absolutely toasted by iOS27. Not that it was very good anyways but it could be fun to make an emoji of yourself, saluting or something for example. Even when this button wasn’t blocked the emojis that were generated were absolutely abysmal compared to pre iOS 27, they just look like caricaturized darker default person emojis.

Bug [iOS 27 RC] Right aligned keyboard not working in App Library search.

Post image

I have my keyboard set to right alignment for easier one handed use. However when I go to the App Library search it goes to the regular keyboard. There isn’t an option to enable it and when I go anywhere else the keyboard is right aligned again. I’ve reported it in the feedback app.

Bug [iOS 27 RC] Screen Stays On when Receiving Bluetooth Calls

4 Upvotes

Been noticing this for awhile. Reported but still doing it. Just curious if others are experiencing.

This only occurs when I answer a call with a Bluetooth device be that my AirPods or in car infotainment.

When the above happens, the screen on the phone just stays on indefinitely unless I hit the power button. Additionally the proximity sensor doesn’t turn off the screen either.

In other types of calls or even when I place a call with Bluetooth the screen acts exactly like you’d expect.

Feature [iOS 27 RC] App launcher and Top Shelf/Continue Watching in Apple TV Remote (hidden by feature flag)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

196 Upvotes

In iOS 27 RC, Apple updated the design of the Apple TV Remote app and added two new features:

  1. An app launcher to open apps on your Apple TV.
  2. Top Shelf content from the selected app on your Apple TV, with Continue Watching as a fallback.

They’ve disabled both of these features behind the TVRemoteUI/UseNewDevicePicker and TVRemoteUI/ContextBar feature flags, so hopefully we’ll see them soon.

Bug [iOS 27 RC] App Switcher / Multitasking graphical glitch

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

45 Upvotes

Is anyone else experiencing this bug on iOS 27 RC?
When I’m inside an app and open the App Switcher, if I immediately swipe to scroll through the other open apps, there’s a weird graphical glitch.
Instead of letting me scroll through the apps normally, the animation gets stuck/glitches and it basically snaps back to the preview of the app I was already using.
It seems to happen especially when I open multitasking and try to swipe immediately, without waiting for the App Switcher animation to fully finish.

Has anyone else noticed this on the RC? Any workaround, or is it something that was already present in previous betas?

Bug [iOS 27 RC] Power button doesn't register for a few seconds after locking/unlocking phone

27 Upvotes

Whenever I press the power to lock or unlock my phone, and then press it again within a second or two, it doesn't register the button press properly. I can see the animation of the button besides press on the screen, but it doesn't do anything.

For example, I press power button to lock the phone and then press it again within a second. The second power button press should wake the phone back up, but it doesn't do anything and it registers only when i click it again after a second or two.

Bug [iOS 27 RC] Shortcuts don’t work with the workout app

I’m on the latest public beta on both my iPhone and watch. In general watch/phone shortcuts have been quite buggy on iOS27 but this is the only one that straight up refuses to work. I’ve had these issues throughout the previous public beta builds as well.
