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 prefer to wait for public beta before installing. What bug are you talking about?

When getting notifications VO stop reading it on the middle of it and the screen locks. It has increase to 90%.

I noticed that it was stopping reading, but the screen didn't lock, at least not in my case. I will try to see if I have this. The beta is not installed on my main device, so I don't have it all the time.

What I found interesting in my iPad 9, beta 3 this is not an issue. It works how it suppose to do so. VO reads the notification without no issues. Just my iPhone 16 pro max and iOS 26.01.

It might be worth checking if low battery mode is coming on automatically which, I believe, is new for IOS 26. This will lock the screen after a far briefer time of inactivity, even if voiceover is reading a notification.

The notification issue on the locked screen is not fixed.

Thanks. Nuts. Please report it. Ask Apple when are they fixing it. Hope before I get to heaven. Long live cats.

I am writing to report that a significant bug first noticed in iOS 26.1 beta 2 still persists in iOS 26.1 beta 4.
When I open the Control Center and then double-tap on the 'More Controls' button, the entire Control Center continues to close unexpectedly.
I have submitted reports via the Feedback Assistant and encourage others to do the same to ensure this issue is fixed immediately.
Thank you.
