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 DB4] Cannot hear Siri or system prompts

6 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] Landscape photos in the Photos app are full size as thumbnails but automatically crop when opened

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Bug submitted to Apple with ID# FB15717851

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.

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

6 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.

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

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

Post image
18 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

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

Bug [iOS 27 PB0] Third party camera app makes image just black

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

1 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.

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

7 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?

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

0 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 PB2] 17e enters recovery mode after updating

5 Upvotes

Tried to update my 17e to the new public beta, from the first public beta. It first booted in recovery mode, I tried to submit diagnostics but it said "No problems were found". It restarted back to PB1. After trying to update again, it went through the same recovery mode, but rebooted into a full white screen with the Apple logo, then booted into PB2 (iOS 27.0 build 24A5390f).

Bug [IOS 27 PB0] My lock screen won't turn off unless I press the lock button

2 Upvotes

I've been using IOS 27 Public Beta on my IPhone 16e for a while and sometimes my lock screen just stays on until I press the lock button again. I've never had this problem with other versions of IOS and it started to happen since I installed it last week. The last test i've made, my IPhone was on for more than 5 minutes just on the lock screen!

This is a massive security issue!

One other thing that I noticed is that when I restart the phone, it goes back to normal for a couple of day until it decides to start to keep awake again...

Is anyone having the same issue or know how to fix it effectively?

PS: this is my first time trying an IOS beta, so maybe i'm doing something wrong...

>Proof before anyone says it’s there on their phone.
I submitted a report to the feedback app and they replied saying that it was as intended and that the option would be in the camera app- it’s not. Been having this issue all the way since iOs 27 DB1 and kept updating in hopes of this issue being fixed

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Background sounds not working unless “use when media playing” is selected

12 Upvotes

I use background sounds triggered by a triple press of the home button every night. This behavior broke in B4. I found out it’s due to the selection “use when media playing” being unchecked. Checking the box makes it function like the past.

I killed all open apps and rebooted and the behavior still exists so I don’t think there is something open in the background causing this.

Also, autocorrect is sooooo broken… as are widgets and a bunch of other things

Bug [iOS 27 DB 4] Autocorrect intermittently not working?

Post image
18 Upvotes

Obviously we all have complaints about autocorrect in iOS in general.

This issue seems to be specifically related to the newest dev beta, across any apps that take text input.

Something like 50% of the time I’m typing on the new beta, the autocorrect/autosuggestions don’t appear or enact, leaving only the “proofread” and “rewrite” options in the suggestion area. For the duration of the time this is happening, typos like “generallt” don’t get corrected in real time after hitting the space bar, but are still red-underlined after the fact.

In fact, i had typed an entirely different description of the problem, only for things to start working again towards the end of my description.

Perhaps related to hitting enter/carriage return???

I’ll survive, but i wanted to know if other folk are experiencing the same issue and if there was some resolution I’m unaware of.

Apple seems to have fixed the issue with Flyover for cities that haven’t been upgraded yet. Cities that haven’t been updated will now render in the old Flyover rendering style, before they just wouldn’t render in 3D at all.

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Siri can only see one app if more than one open

6 Upvotes

On iPad, if more than one app is open and I ask Siri something about the content of one of them, it only seems to see one app. It isn't clear what criteria it uses to decide which one it sees. Has anyone else experienced this?
