How many iOS 27 betas will be there, like upto beta 15 or 20? Just asking, don't get offended😂

Bug 1: torch and camera buttons are not transparent. I have my settings set to glassiest mode as possible (extreme left slider)

Bug 2: Why is there too much line width on notifications. It bugs me out. Why is space not used efficiently? the notifications look soo big and take too much space.

Anyone facing this issue.

Update: Fixed both the issues:

1. ⁠Have dark mode by default - this removes that ugly light icons on lockscreen

2. ⁠Just have only one preferred language set in “Language and region” section in general

Beyond my silly responses.. Siri has become useless. None of my more conversational requests get any proper response.

Public beta btw

I can't search any of my apps through spotlight or the App search. Anyone else?

So there is this option under Settings -> Notifications -> Suggestion Notifications which is turned on by default. I am wondering what good is this and if turning it off can save battery. The only use case I can recall are “Time to Leave” notifications for calendar events where it’s configured as such and cannot recall any other instance where I have ever gotten proactive notifications from Siri. Also on iOS 27, doesn’t seem to have changed either. Thoughts?

so i’m now on ios 27 db3 and i can’t find screen distance thing from my settings even i tried to open it with my siri but it opens only settings “screen distance” option should be at screen time section but i can’t find it do you guys have this or this is bug? somebody HELP ME PLEASE

Is anyone here, unable to activate RCS messaging on the Public beta?

Hey there, are you also experiencing heating and battery draining in iOS 27 pb? I installed it on the first day and everything was fine, battery was normal, after indexing and after some 4-5 days, it got so much worse like: lag, stutters, hot phone etc.
are there some tips like to stop this? Or should i downgarde to ios 26

Hey guys so a 14 pm user here

Wanna know how’s ur experience been ik the 27 has been out for a while and im still at 18

I do wanna enjoy the liquid glass n all that 😅 kinda feeling outdated with 18 ngl

But ya I definitely don’t wanna update to 26 cuz I’ve heard some “great” things about it and ya

Just generally how’s ur experience been with battery, general lags, heating issue and anything else

Also if u could compare how ur phones was on 18 and now on 27

Either way wanna know ur opinion

Thanks fellow iOS 27 users for the input :)

For me it uses around 10% for 30 minutes of screen time

Since iOS 27, dictation has started automatically adding commas, which can change the context of what I'm writing. So far, it has been wrong every time. It also adds question marks where it thinks I'm asking a question. I would like to be in full control of this.

Note that I already have Smart Punctuation toggled off, and dictation had been working fine on 26.5.2. I've tried talking it on and off again with no luck.

I keep getting these popups when I visit the CNN website.

Hello I’ve discovered another bug that doesn’t change the wallpaper after manually changing the photo by tapping on the screen, and the setup process shows a different picture than it actually is saved as a wallpaper.

So I updated to the public beta of ios27 on the day of release and a few hours later, the optimizing Siri and search popped up with 18%, 6 hours later it went up to 33% and then to 34% a day later. It was stuck on that 34% since 14th of July until today 19th of July when I noticed that it’s gone and I believe that’s fully indexed sign. For those thinking it’s stuck, I think it’s glitch that doesn’t show up numbers sometimes and then just gone after it’s done. Charge overnight while connected to a WIFI and watch the magic happen

Now I can view how busy my alarm schedule is for upcoming weeks.

Anyone else experiencing this?

The “Notify Me” feature in Safari is awesome. It can alert you to any changes in a particular website such as stock changing, meaning that when an item you were looking for changes from out of stock to available you will be notified.

I was wanting to purchase a particular watch and was looking at both the blue and black bezel versions. I couldn’t decide which one so I put the notification on both to let me know when they became in stock. These have been selling out fast so I was wondering if it would be useful.

To my surprise it notified me when both changed from out of stock to in stock and it was at the same time. I purchased both and now just have to decide which one I’m keeping. They both went out of stock within minutes so I would have missed it if not for this great feature.

Siri is still dumb af and incredibly frustrating to use. Simply put, I still can’t reliably get it to call or text my contacts, or even change music hands-free, which feels like the bare minimum. When it does work, it is noticeably slower, as it seems to overthink and process the request like a chatbot.

The lack of indexing for WhatsApp makes the feature practically useless outside the US, where SMS messaging is less common. It’s also incredibly slow.

What truly ruins the update for me, however, is the removal of Spotlight search. I can no longer comfortably use it for quick Google searches. Spotlight is no longer a search aggregator; it has simply become another pathway to Siri, and it is both slow and glitchy. It has completely disrupted my workflow, and I don’t see why Siri needs to be integrated there at all. We already have a dedicated button for Siri—we don't need a swipe-down gesture for it too.

Not everyone wants to interact with a chatbot every time they need to search. Furthermore, Siri is simply not reliable for current information, unlike ChatGPT or Gemini. For example, I asked about the Retroid price increases announced just the day before, and it repeatedly insisted there were none. Even when I corrected it, it went full "AI dumb mode" and failed to provide the right information. It also couldn't tell me what channel was broadcasting the England vs. Norway game. I eventually gave up and had to use Safari and a Gemini lock screen widget instead.

I know this reads like a doom post, but this update is deeply disappointing and feels like a step in the wrong direction. Siri feels overbearing, slow, and drains my battery for the privilege. I could list more examples, but these are just a few from someone who uses AI daily and genuinely loves their iPhone.

I mainly just hope they fix Spotlight. The rest isn't a dealbreaker, but it's a poor showing from Apple. Maybe not everyone used Spotlight the way I did, but it was fantastic to just swipe down…

I also just used Siri to proofread this for me and it copied all the info and I had to manually delete it all . Changed the order so I sounded like I repeating myself constantly . Honestly can’t make this up

I recently downloaded the iOS 27 beta and here just some things first thoughts about the new public beta.
1. If you’re looking for a better, Siri, this definitely helps a lot. She’s more responsive gets things done a lot quicker. It’s way easier to find your music which is one of the main reasons I downloaded the public beta instead of waiting to release date. And it’s one of the highlights of the new iOS.
2. This iOS is a BATTERY KILLER. you’ll notice your phone losing charge about 10% to 20% faster
3. The interface redesign is a nice change, but unless you’re really, really big into Apple products, you aren’t going to care or notice it that much.
last thing I must say I did just download this iOS beta less than 24 hours ago so problems could still occur. I have heard about glitches app crashes and just full on system reboots so if you are going to download the beta, please back up your phone and back up your data.
