Apple Beta Releases
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.

I would think the later you get in to august you will be okay
The betas have had some bugs but not dreadful. I've delt with worse.
Anyone noticed a bug with Braille Screen Input?
Is anyone noticing that you can't get spelling suggestions with BSI with the ios beta? Swiping up with one finger does nothing, even when I deliberately misspell a word.
That being said, I'm finding the bsi typing to be more accurate in general. I'm able to type faster without random dots being missed. (This will of course require me to own my own typos. LOL)
Spelling bug and Braille Screen Input
Unfortunately spelling suggestions with BSI no longer seem to exist. However, my advice is that you must enable autocorrection, if you want words spelled correctly. With BSI and autocorrection enabled, the minute you swipe your finger write for a space bar, the misspelled words gets corrected. If you don't want to accept the correction, you swipe down with one finger.
I already have autocorrect turned on.
It'll be nice that it actually works with BSI. Maybe that's why the swipe up doesn't work.
New beta yesterday or no
So did we get any new potatoes on 27 yesterday?
No new beta
It might be today.
Beta
Next week. Probably after that it might be weekly.
Yes
Hi,
Yes. As a previous beta tester, next week will be beta five, then the weeks to follow will be nonstop beta updates leading up to final release. Once September hits and apple introduces new iPhones, that is when we will get RC, and if there are no last-minute bugs, then the RC will be the final release that will come out to everyone on whatever day Apple selects.
A old voice is back
Anyone remember the old Aaron voice? it was my favorite back in iOS 10, for some reason it's showing up for me on iPadOS 27 in this beta, hope it stays around
You can now hide the Messages button from the text field
Hi all,
The subject says it all. You can now hide the buttons from the text field inside messages for accidental press. This is usually the record audio button with the microphone waveform, and the dictate button which is located near the bottom of the on screen keyboard. The setting can be found under apps > messages > show in text field. You have three options. Record audio, dictation, or none. Setting it to none will only have a send button, but you can still get to the audio button by double tapping the apps button then double tapping audio. What I did was I put audio right at the top so that when I double tap the Apps button, it will automatically bring up the audio button so that I can double tap and record an audio message.
