Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

Hi,
Reading lyrics remains broken in beta 4.
Has anyone else seen this?

By Dennis Long on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 - 22:40

Still broken. I've filed a feedback. Hoping it is fixed soon.

By Holger Fiallo on Tuesday, March 10, 2026 - 22:42

Just installed it in my 16 pro max. Still broken. Getting tire of this. The iPad 9 does not have this issue. Long live cats.

If is for me, several times, I am not the only one who has done so. Long live cats.

At this point, you should just disable the auto preview of notifications. I think your life would be happier that way. 🙃

Is the email bug with ,!l displays fixed yet?

By Holger Fiallo on Wednesday, March 11, 2026 - 06:40

OK, remind me how to do so!! Apple hates me so, do not know why I am nice and kind and cats and dogs love me. Human not so much specially apple lovers. Long live cats.

Settings>Notifications>Show Previews. I haven't tried changing this, but the other options are unlocked and never.

What I did change is I turned off VO autospeaking notifications on my lock screen. So I have to touch the screen to hear them, which usually means I just unlock my phone and deal with them in notification center.

Got it. Next time I get a new iPhone, Will set up as knew. Did so with 16 pro max. Thanks. Long live kitties.

Hey guys! I’m spiraling…. I don’t even use Apple Music and just learned that another basic feature of reading lyrics that was so accessible got broken and still HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED….
At this point, I start doubting that Apple actually reads through our emails about bug reports. Can someone honestly tell me whether at least one of you heard back from Apple to clarify the issue at least? I don’t know all the ins and outs of Apple corporation, but something tells me that most accessibility engineers were laid off…. Maybe they are getting replaced by AI…. Seems like Apple can break things one by one over night and doesn’t even bother to fix things. And nobody can take it to court for violating rights…. And yet they still get accessibility awards each year…. There’s no motivation to improve in this situation. I believe the reason why some accessibility features are still working correctly is because, apparently, it’s way harder to break something massive you’ve built for years than some of us think!

Personally I do not believe they do. Bugs that are around for more than a year are not address by a 1 trillion corparation. Long live cats.

1 year is such a short periodd! I’ve been living with a bug of keyboard switching on iPhone (especially using any Bluetooth keyboard, including the original Apple Magic last iteration ) for OVER 4 years, swear to god!

By jim pickens on Wednesday, March 11, 2026 - 22:05

The subject, it's been at least 3 years for me.

ios 26'dan itibaren klavye sesleri çıkmamaya başladı. Ses azaltmayla ilgili bir problem. bu zamana kadar neden hala düzeltilmedi merak ediyorum. son güncellemede bununla alakalı düzeltme var mı?

Subject:
Keyboard clicks won't play
Message:
The keyboard clicks began to not play as of IOS 26. This is a problem with audio ducking. Why didn't it get resolved until now?

Just a quick note: as you’ll see in our guidelines, we require all posts on AppleVis to be written in English. Thanks so much.

Here is the translation of "klavye sesinin çıkmaması." comment.

"Since iOS 26, the keyboard sounds have stopped working. It seems to be an issue related to lowering the volume. I’m wondering why this still hasn’t been fixed after all this time. Is there a fix for this in the latest update?”

By Holger Fiallo on Friday, March 13, 2026 - 12:30

Now English. Long live cats. How do you say that in your language?

By Holger Fiallo on Friday, March 13, 2026 - 12:32
