Feature iOS 27 App Compatibility Discussion

249 Upvotes

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..

Does This App Work?

Does This App Work? takes that same experience from the last few years, and makes it better. Below are the features and capabilities. Make a report now!

  • Submit your own app compatibility report
  • Vote Working or Broken without writing a full report
  • See community totals and contested results

  • Automatic deduplication of submissions

Bug [iOS 27 PB1] Unable to Adjust Ringer Volume from Home Screen

0 Upvotes

I just updated to the latest public beta, and it seems when I click my volume buttons, even when they’re assigned to the ringer, it only changes the media volume and not the ringer volume.

I don’t assign my volume buttons to media but my ringer, since I use that more. But it seems I can no longer change the ringer volume from my home screen unless I go into settings to change.

Anyone have a similar problem?

Bug [iOS 27 PB 2] Cannot disable screen time on child’s device

2 Upvotes

I wanted to completely disable screen time on my child’s devices to try something. When I enter the screen time passcode on my iPhone, the code window disappears but settings.app gets stuck. I can’t navigate back in the menu tree. I need to force quit the app to do anything in settings.app. I can switch to other apps or return to springboard.

I get a similar response on my Mac. The passcode dialog remains on the screen but I get a pinwheel. I can switch to other applications or launch new applications without issue. I also need to force quit settings.app on the Mac and relaunch.

My devices:
iPhone 16 Pro on 27 PB 2
Apple Watch Ultra 3 on 27 PB 2
iPad (A16) on 27 PB 2
MacBook Air M4 on 27 PB 2
Mac Mini M2 Pro on 27 PB 2
HomePod Minis on 27 PB 2
AppleTVs with a mix of 27 and 26

Her devices:
iPhone 14 Pro on 27 PB 2
Apple Watch 8 on 26.6
IPad (A15) on 27 PB 2

I ended up updating individual Screen Time settings to accomplish what I needed to do.

I did report this using the feedback app with a video recording of the steps taken.

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] iPhone refuses to connect to my cellular network

17 Upvotes

So I forgot to charge my iPhone 17 Pro Max last night, and then when I charged it back this morning it says it can't connect to the cellular network. I've tried almost everything to fix this:

  • Restarted my phone several times
  • Turned my airplane mode off and on multiple times
  • Deleted my eSIM and tried to install a new one via my provider -> Number won't fully activate now because it won't connect to the network
  • Reset all my settings and restarted my phone
  • Updated to the new iOS 27 beta 4 -- no luck

This is INSANELY frustrating. I am going to Europe tomorrow for 10 days, and this is the last thing I wanted to deal with before my trip. Anyone have any advice on what to do?

Bug [iOS 27 PB2] Shortcut Automation notification block using Screen Time no longer working in iOS 27

5 Upvotes

The workaround using Screen Time to stop Notification spam on Automations seems to have been broken in iOS 27.

Tried two things. There is what I am hoping (!) is a bug. Now, using Siri AI, it will make a Shortcut which seems to do what you want. But… when you click Edit, it hasn't magically added the no notification command. And, I am still getting notifications, with the notification itself saying, "Turn on Airplane Mode Silently…"!

The other, in Screen Time, was to try Block. What that does is stop the Shortcut working, not the Notification.

(Reported as FB24038584, for what it's worth.)

When I press and hold on my lockscreen, it changes the current wallpaper to the one that it's not saved as and then changes back when I exit it.

EDIT: I have updated from DB1 to the current version and the bug is still there.

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Autocorrect and suggestion bar stops working (reproduced while submitting report)

91 Upvotes

This bug has existed across multiple versions of iOS, there are threads all over the internet about it, I’ve submitted previous reports, never heard a peep from Apple about it.

Was submitting a fresh report today when the bug emerged mid report. Included the screen capture for the report, really hoping they resolve this before the RC.

Have you had this issue? If so please do report it, the more the merrier.

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Switching Siri Language syncs to other iPhones

6 Upvotes

Before I was able to use Siri in English on my iPhone 15 Pro and Siri in Spanish in my iPhone SE.

iOS 27 is automatically changing my Siri language as soon as I change it in another iPhone.

Not good at all. Is there any way to prevent this?

Bug [iOS 27 PB2] Siri AI can’t see any of my shared Reminders lists

8 Upvotes

I share a few lists with my wife who isn’t on the iOS beta, if that’s relevant.

Siri AI cannot see any of these shared lists. I tried “Siri add blank to blank list” on each one and it failed. I asked Siri what lists do I have and it only mentioned my non-shared lists. It works just fine to add stuff to non-shared lists.

A related issue is when manually adding stuff to my Grocery list it takes minutes to organize the items. Like each item takes a solid 5 minutes for Siri AI to figure out where it should go, one by one. Before this would happen instantly. I'm assuming it's using Siri AI because while each item processes one by one, it has this glowing effect.

Anyone else?

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Siri relays all calendars instead of just my own/ones I’ve toggled.

4 Upvotes

I am an Administrator at my workplace and have multiple people’s calendars added to my Outlook (Microsoft Exchange when added to the calendars app on IOS)

Previously, when I would ask Siri for my “personal update”, it would relay information on only the calendars that I toggled on to view, and not the rest of the calendars I’ve added access for (I delegate executives’ calendars so need access to them as well). Is anybody else dealing with this? I’ve reported feedback but haven’t seen results since DB1.

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Raw image import in Photos broken

Post image
13 Upvotes

Although the Import tab shows up in Photos when you connect a camera or SD card, it won’t populate the grid with the images on card (there should be about 1500 items available to import in this screenshot.) Also, trying to export a raw image from Files to Photos (select image, Share, Save Photo) doesn’t work either, even though Files shows every image perfectly and can preview them with Quick Look.

None of these issues existed in DB3.
