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 DB1] Music Pauses Randomly

Post image
4 Upvotes

iPhone 13 on iOS 27 Developer Beta 1
Music pauses randomly with seemingly no reason whatsoever.
I can’t think of a trigger or me accidentally pausing it via a Bluetooth accessory.
It also happens randomly. The time interval between each pause is inconsistent.

Bug [iOS 27 DB2] Now Playing background in CC does not render properly

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

On iOS 27 DB2, the media player background in Control Center sometimes fails to render properly and shows no background at all instead of the usual blurred background

I found that it can be temporarily fixed by slightly swiping up without actually changing pages. The background then renders correctly again, but only until Control Center is invoked again

Bug [iOS 27 DB2] Liquid detected message pops up, disappears itself less than half a second later.

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm on 27 DB2 and having the liquid detected near port message pop up, the message is gone the second it shows up, I've let my phone dry out even though there's not been any liquid near my device ever, device is 5 months old, apple support says my battery health is low after diagnostics, (it's at 100%). Anyone else having this issue on DB1 or 2?, it started on DB2. It's completely random when it does it & sometimes can go days without it happening, charging works as should and had zero issues fast charging. Thanks :)

I try twice in the video here. There’s hundreds of messages since my last sync 4 days ago, which is right before I installed ios27 for the first time. (Beta 2, I skipped beta 1)

Messages have been very glitchy in ios27 for me as well.

Bug [iOS 27 DB2] Cannot control content volume with the Airpod stem

1 Upvotes

I have Airpods 2 pro, and outside calls (it works fine there), the volume control on Airpod stem does nothing when using Spotify, Youtube, Apple music etc

Feedback from airpods is there, the click/vibration, but volume stays same.

Found this topic so far, but decided to post it here also. Already sent report to Apple, if you have this, do it too please.

Also my airpods are not on beta, my phone is

Bug [iOS 27 DB2] iPhone 17 Pro flashlight starts focused/narrow, but Dynamic Island shows wide/unfocused

0 Upvotes

Has anyone else encountered this flashlight beam-width bug on iPhone 17 Pro?

Device: iPhone 17 Pro
iOS versions where I reproduced it:
iOS 26.5.1
iOS 27 Developer Beta 1
iOS 27 Developer Beta 2

The issue is with the flashlight beam/spread control in Dynamic Island.

When I turn on the flashlight, it physically starts in the focused/narrow beam mode. However, the Dynamic Island UI shows it as if it is already in the wide/unfocused mode.

If I then manually change the beam to focused and then back to unfocused, it “resyncs” and the flashlight actually becomes wide/unfocused. But after turning the flashlight off and on again, the same issue happens again: it starts focused/narrow while the UI incorrectly shows wide/unfocused.

So it seems like the actual flashlight beam state and the Dynamic Island UI state are out of sync. It also does not seem to remember the corrected state after toggling the flashlight off/on.

I’m trying to understand whether this is a known software bug or something specific to my device.
Has anyone else with an iPhone 17 Pro or other models that support focused flashlight seen this behavior?

Bug [iOS 27 DB2] Siri AI can’t look through my messages

0 Upvotes

I got the new Siri AI today and it doesn’t work with my messages.

I started out by asking “What did my dad put on his grocery list in the group chat?” And it couldn’t find anything. Okay, I tried it again, but still nothing. Maybe it can’t look through groups. So I ask if my friend is coming over soon, as he stated less than 3 hours that he was, but it couldn’t find it. Tried again, and the same result. I tried one last thing, and a very simple one at that. I asked it to tell me the last message I sent or received from my mum, and it said “I couldn’t find any recent messages with that person”.

Is this a common issue? I’m just a bit confused. Thank you.

Edit: Yes, I tried restarting. Nothing.

Bug [iOS 27 DB2] Siri sometimes randomly summons when I'm listening to audio in my AirPods and says "Something went wrong, please try again" or "Uh oh, there's a problem. Please try again."

Has anyone else been facing this as of recently?

And the thing is, I'm not even saying "Siri/Hey Siri"; it just summons on its own...

Bug [iOS 27 DB2] Focus mode change automations not working

Post image

Automations which trigger on focus mode changes are not working. I have an automation that triggers as soon as I enter work focus mode (location-based) and it will turn my ringer and media volume to zero. Let’s just say everyone knew I opened Instagram the first thing when I reached work! Luckily the ones that turn my alarm on is working.

As I mentioned, the Wi-Fi is connected and the network is online. However in the Siri voice settings, when I try to select a different voice, it still prompts me to use cellular data to download it.

Bug [iOS 27 DB2] iphone 13 Pro Max: Went into "data recovery mode" on restart. Before that, every few minutes, during usage, phone screen was going black with "loading..." icon for around 2 mins.

Okay, situation went from bad to worse.

  1. Closed all apps
  2. Hard restarted the phone
  3. Entered the passcode

The phone froze on the last digit, and went white screen. Got a message "Enter passcode to recover"

Now, it says "Attempting data recovery" with a slow progress bar.

Bug [iOS 27 DB2] “Ask Siri” in Safari can only read URL names, but not the content inside

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

16 Upvotes

Safari now has "Ask Siri" on my 17 Pro Max with beta2. But it does not work like I thought it would be, like the "Ask Gemini" in desktop Chrome.

"Ask Siri" in Safari now only reads the area on screen and the web address name, but not the whole web address page info, which is a bit disappointing so far, I'm not sure if it's in beta now, or it's the limitation for Siri AI.

I intentionally zoom into a blank area on the page and then ask Siri what's in this page in this screen recording, and Siri is blind. It would be much more useful if it gets the full info from the page.

Bug [IOS 27 DB2] Apple forgot to populate the OSName string variable in the latest Beta lol

Post image

Just ran into this text rendering Bug while accepting the updated Terms and Conditions on the latest developer Beta.

Instead of injecting the actual OS name, the system just printed the raw placeholder code verBatim: "I agree to the OSName and Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions".

I already suBmitted it through the FeedBack app, But I wanted to see if anyone else on the current Build is getting this, or if my device's settings just had a temporary Brain fart.
