Personal Voice fails to complete
I have an iPhone 14 running iOS 26 Beta 2 that I wanted to start using Personal Voice on. It allowed me to complete the recordings and start the process, however even with the phone charging and locked the process hangs. It is connected to WiFi and cellular while attempting to run. It is connected to a 20W apple charger with an offical cable. I have a sneaking feeling it's related to me running the iOS beta on this device. I've provided some info below. iOS 26 Beta 2 iPhone 14 128gb Model MPUF3ZD/A No SIM restrictions

Severe Keyboard Lag in Roblox on iOS 18.4 (Resolves When Low Power Mode is On)
Hi, I’m experiencing a serious keyboard lag issue on my iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 18.4. When playing games in Roblox, if I try to type in the in-game chat using the default iOS keyboard, the typing becomes extremely laggy and drops a lot of frames. However, if I turn on Low Power Mode, the issue disappears completely, and typing becomes smooth again. This suggests that the problem may be related to background optimization or system performance handling in iOS 18.4. Open Roblox and start any game with chat input and Try typing in the chat box using the iOS keyboard than Observe serious lag and frame drops and Enable Low Power Mode.The lag disappears instantly. • iPhone 15 Pro Max • iOS version: 18.4 • Keyboard: Default iOS keyboard • Issue only occurs when Low Power Mode is OFF Please investigate this behavior. It’s very disruptive during gameplay and seems linked to performance scaling or system optimization. Thanks! My English is not very good and these are the ones I edited using Google Translate.

iOS 26 CarPlay Non-Responsive
iPhone 16 Pro Max on iOS 18.5 before installing iOS 26 beta had no issues connecting to wired (there’s no wireless) CarPlay in my 2022 Honda Civic Sport. Now with IOS 26, my car recognizes that my phone is connected and asks if I want to use CarPlay and I click yes but it does nothing. I reset my head unit, reset all iPhone settings, checked different iPhone settings, tried different cables, can’t seem to determine what part of iOS 26 is causing the problem. Anyone have any ideas before I roll back to 18.5?

Remote control
Hi everyone, I’m working on a concept for an iOS app that would allow a user to remotely control an Enterprise iOS device, similar to how AnyDesk or TeamViewer work on desktop. I understand that apps like TeamViewer for iOS offer screen sharing, and some level control but not a full level control. Before I invest further in development, I’d like to clarify a few points: Is there any official Apple-supported way (public or private API) to allow remote control of an iOS device? Has Apple ever approved apps that allow true remote control of iOS (not just screen sharing)? If full control is not allowed, what are the permitted alternatives (e.g. screen broadcast via ReplayKit, remote assistance mode, etc.)? Would such an app be considered for enterprise distribution only (via MDM), or is there a potential App Store path? Any insight or experience from developers who’ve tried this would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Pilot Comms/headsets
Based a quick research, comfort and fit, noise cancellation issues and durability seems to be the most consistent issues with pilot headsets. I wouldn’t say there is a problem here, because you can easily throw out the faulty headset and spend another $1000 on a new one. However, what if apple can profit by introducing their version of pilot headsets? Besides, most airlines use Apple iPads for Navigation, crew scheduling etc. Make it a one stop shop. Apple already has the framework for music headsets, why not use it as a base for pilot headsets? Disrupt an already stagnant market and give pilots a great alternative. Tap into the interests of a new generation of pilots again most which already uses Apple products. Come up with a new fresh look of ‘pilot comms.’ A good idea is to pitch to the GA (general aviation) industry maybe include Apple headsets with the purchase of a new aircraft.

Apple Photos - Collections Section
Hello everyone, I’m having an issue with the Photos app on my iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26 Beta 2 (happened in first Beta as well). When I open the Photos app and go to the Collections section, it’s completely blank — no photos, just empty space. The library seems to be working fine and my photos show up in the Library. I’ve tried restarting the phone and force-quitting the app, but no change. Could it be a bug? Also, I just switched from Android to IOS, one week ago, if this detail helps. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any fixes or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Mouse driver locks up MacOS 13.7.6
Every week or so, mouse driver locks up. The LED laser goes out and none of the buttons operate. It's a generic 7 button USB mouse with my USB keyboard still active. I do not know what precipitates the lockup and a system diagnostic request (Sft-Alt-Ctl-Cmd .) does not seem to yield anything useful. > ps -ef|grep -i mouse 501 579 1 0 Mon01PM ?? 0:04.42 /System/Library/ExtensionKit/Extensions/MouseExtension.appex/Contents/MacOS/MouseExtension code-block so the mouse extension was running at the time. With a "sudo kill -HUP 579" it did not restart. Also, switching to a different mouse did no good. The mouse driver was behaving like it was deadlocked and I didn't know the correct incantation for restarting it. I power cycle reset the box. SO: you have a mouse driver problem it cannot be just me It behaves like a deadlock, but not knowing how to get a mouse driver dump, I cannot tell what lock(s) its waiting for.

Cannot get AirPods to update to OS26 beta software
Despite following all the support information and YouTube tutorials I cannot get my AirPods Pro 2 to take the OS 26 beta firmware.

SwiftUI DocumentGroup + ReferenceFileDocument not saving changes after file rename
I'm building a document-based app using SwiftUI's DocumentGroup with a ReferenceFileDocument. Everything works well when documents are created in the "On My iPhone" directory — they save(After registering Undo action), even after renaming. However, when I create a document inside iCloud Drive (by default it creates in iCloud Drive as iCloud sync is enabled in capabilities), the document: ✅ Saves properly before rename ❌ Stops saving changes after renaming the file (By taping the filename at the top of the screen When document is open(Using inline rename UI in the navigation bar)) This issue only occurs for iCloud Drive–based documents. The same rename flow works fine for locally stored documents. How can i ensure the document continues saving properly in this case?

MacBook Air (M2, 2023) Randomly Freezes After Sleep – Black Screen with Cursor Only
Since a recent macOS update (around one month ago), I’ve been experiencing a random issue on my MacBook Air (2023, M2). After the device enters sleep mode and I try to wake it, sometimes the screen stays black with only the cursor visible. The issue occurs randomly — not every time — but frequently enough to impact daily use. The system becomes completely unresponsive, and the only recovery method is a forced restart (holding the power button). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Leave the MacBook idle until it enters sleep automatically. 2. Wait for 10–30+ minutes. 3. Attempt to wake it using the keyboard, trackpad, or by opening the lid. 4. Randomly, the system fails to wake properly: screen turns on, shows a black background with a movable cursor, but nothing else appears. Expected Result: The system wakes normally and restores to the previous desktop session. Actual Result: The system randomly freezes on a black screen with a visible cursor. No user interface or login prompt appears. Requires a hard restart. System Information: • Device: MacBook Air 13”, M2, 2023 • macOS Version: [Insert exact version, e.g., macOS Sonoma 14.5] • Issue Since: Around one month ago (possibly after latest macOS update) • Peripherals: [Mention any external devices if applicable] • Reproducibility: Random (approximately 30–50% of the time after longer sleep) Additional Notes: • Issue is not consistent; sometimes the system wakes as expected. • Occurs regardless of whether on battery or plugged in. • No external monitors or USB accessories are connected when this happens.

Need inputs on how to start Live activity at a specified date/time in future
Hello forum, Hope you all are doing great! We’ve implemented Live Activities in our iOS app to display live soccer scores on the lock screen. The feature generally works as expected when the app is in backgroun or app is invoked when the push is sent. However, we’re observing an issue affecting approximately 20–30% of users where the Live Activity starts successfully but no subsequent score or commentary updates are received. Upon investigation, it appears the OS is not waking the app when the Live Activity starts. This wake-up is critical for syncing the activity token with backend service we use, which is required for delivering updates. Key Points: Starting a Live Activity does not require the app to be invoked since we start with Push token However, for updates to be delivered, the app must be woken at the start to send the latest pushh token to Backend. In affected cases, even manually sending a background push does not wake the app—it remains terminated until manually opened by the user. We’d like to understand is there any other way to deliver start and updates from backend at later point when user mark a team/match favorite. Core requirement is that user need not to open the app except when marking the team as favorite. Apps like FotMob, MLB, Chrome browser doing same when team is marked as favorite and subscribed for live activities and I observed they are getting updates properly most of the times

Running IOS18.5 Beta on iPhone 16 Pro Max
I'm running IOS 18.5 on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. If I delete an email on my iPhone, it is still in the inbox on my iMac. If I delete an email on my iMac it is deleted from the inbox on my iPhone. Is this because of the Beta software on my phone?
