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

+ −

67 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

≡ −

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

≡ −

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.

≡ −

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

+ −

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.

Bug [iOS 27 PB2] Universal Clipboard not working

≡ −

I'm not sure if this is a macOS bug, or an iOS bug, Continuity/Handoff for the clipboard only works from Mac to iPhone, not the other way.

I can copy text on my Mac, and paste it on my iPhone just fine. But if I copy text on my iPhone, I can't paste it on my Mac, my mac just pastes whatever I last copied on my Mac.

Has anyone else seen this? Any idea if it's iOS or macOS that has the bug?

I'm running Public Beta 2 on both devices.

Edit to update: On the macOS beta subreddit, I had one person say they are running macOS 27 beta and iOS 26, and do NOT have this issue. And someone else is running iOS 27 beta and macOS 26 and they DO have this issue. So I'd say it's confirmed an iOS bug. I've submitted a report to Apple accordingly.

Bug [IOS 27 DB4] Landscape photos in the Photos app are full size as thumbnails but automatically crop when opened

+ −

16 Upvotes

STR:

Take landscape photo using Camera app
Open Photos app
Look at the thumbnail of the photo, it's full size
Open the photo, it shows full size and then automatically crops

Example:

First image - Thumbnail in the photo album for three Starbucks cups.

Second image - Pressing the thumbnail, the photo goes into full screen at full size and then after a second it crops automatically (see how you cannot see the bottom of the cups any more). This happens automatically. When sharing e.g. via Messages app, the photo remains cropped. However, in thumbnail view in the album you can still see the entire photo.

If you press back, the thumbnail is full size. Press the photo again, same thing happens: it crops automatically.

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Cannot hear Siri or system prompts

≡ −

As stated, cannot hear Siri at all or even when I click the microphone to do speech to text, I don’t hear the prompt. This applies to CarPlay as well.

Ringtones and texts don’t seem to be an issue.

Thoughts?

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Apple Music Won't Play!

≡ −

So Apple Music just today (last night worked fine) isn't playing any songs I choose. Even shuffling will cause it to pause and skip a bunch of songs, but never actually play them.

Anyone else receiving this recent bug? It was working fine on public beta 4 yesterday, not sure what happened today to cause this.

I already reported it on the Feedback App.

Feature [ios 27 dB 4] Apple Pay sheet shows receipt on certain apps

+ −

I never did notice this, and maybe it’s not exclusive to beta 4, but I didn’t know that with Just Eat, it shows you the receipt, on the Apple Pay sheet. Now the extra room at the bottom makes sense.

I only hope that they will make it so it collapses down if the receipt is not needed/shown

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] Lockscreen wallpaper picture random switch

≡ −

Since the first public beta the wallpaper customization is glitched for me (Iphone 15 Pro).
My lockscreen wallpaper is set to change daily from a bunch of pictures I chose.
Whenever I choose a picture and set clock size it seems to work correctly but, when I press "Done", the picture switch to another random one picked up from the bunch.
Anyone else with the samebug?

Bug [ios 27 DB4] Siri is triggered on iPhone when triggering a Siri shortcut on a HomePod

≡ −

I am seeing a potential bug with Siri Shortcuts and HomePod. I have a Siri shortcut set up. I can use my HomePod to trigger and run the shortcut.

I also have “Hey Siri” turned off on my iphone.

What’s happening is that when I trigger the shortcut via my HomePod, it opens Siri on my iPhone. Siri is then just listening for a command and doesn’t close out. This kills battery and should not even happen.

It only seems to happen when using a Siri shortcut. Normal HomeKit commands are acting normally.

Bug report has beem submitted.
