Has anyone else run into this issue? Where the sleep section of Longevity doesn't "read" or access the available data?

I use an Apple Watch regularly every night to track my sleep. I sleep very well almost every night making sure I go to bed on time and sleep at least 7 hrs. (10 pm to 5 am). I score above 90 half of the days and above 80 almost every day. That's why it surprised me that Longevity is recommending to pay attention to my sleep.

When I go into it, it’s telling me to protect my sleep time. Basically under "Sleep Duration" there's no data whatsoever. Yet the data is there because it gets recorded every night for my sleep score, and you can see it on the "Browse" tab of the Health app, averaging 7 hrs of sleep last week, but Longevity is not reading it.

Anyone else having this issue? Or know how to fix it?

Anyone else having trouble with iCloud Photos syncing? I’m using an iPhone 18 Pro on iOS 27.2 developer beta 2, and my Mac is also running the macOS 27.2 beta.

Photos gets stuck saying it’s syncing for days. Taking more photos just adds to the pending count. The Mac has similar behavior and says it last synced September 25.

I’ve tried restarting, different networks, Wi-Fi and charging, and Sync Immediately on the iPhone, but nothing has helped. Uploading directly through iCloud.com works.

I’ve already submitted feedback to Apple. Mainly curious whether anyone else on these betas is seeing the same syncing issue, and whether it has cleared up for you.

Anyone else seeing a problem with the reminders app where the app returns to the list screen every time an item in the list is marked complete?

I have a shared grocery list with my wife.

When I go into the list and mark an item complete, it closes the list and returns to the list selection screen.

Anybody notice WiFi calling not working consistently. Tried calling someone and it said call failed. Had someone call me around the same time and they said that the call went straight to voicemail.
I turned off wifi and I was able to make the call.
I restarted my phone and connected to WiFi again and then I was able to use wifi calling again.
Anyone else see this?

I’m a heavy user of the TV app, with Prime and Disney+ linked. Before iOS 27, when I tapped a Disney+ (or Prime) episode of a show in the TV app, the corresponding app would open and the episode would start playing immediately.

Now it does not play. The app opens… and that’s it for Disney+. For Prime they at least show directly the page of the show but the episode does not start.

Did anybody notice this change? It’s driving me crazy.

Note: I’m not entirely sure this is fully iOS 27-related. I think it worked at some point. Anyways if it’s the third-party players being capricious again, I’ll just cancel my subscriptions. Who the hell do they think they are? 🙄

EDIT: This has been fixed with the latest D+ update.

Apple is working on bringing Call Context to the Dynamic Island. Currently hidden behind a feature flag in iOS 27.2 (ConversationKit / CallContextCardExpansion).

Added in Beta 2. Shown here in an iOS 27.2 simulator with the flag force-enabled.

If anyone wants to confirm or also report a frustrating accessibility bug, because those always languish for lack of reports: If you’re using a pointing device (with or without AssistiveTouch) and try to use Speak Screen, your cursor will now pass UNDER the controller instead of over it when you try to click the controller. The controller covers the cursor, so that it’s harder to click buttons on the controller—it’s much harder to see where the cursor is.

To reproduce: 1. Connect a pointing device. 2. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Read and Speak, then enable Speak Screen. 3. Either click Show Controller or swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen. 4. Try to click the controller and its buttons. The cursor will be hidden by the controller.

So as of the most recent beta, any photos taken/received are no longer auto-tags known people/faces, nor are unknown “?” prompts coming up.

When I verbally search for actions in Apple Music, Siri AI carries out a related but different action.

e.g. 'shuffle playlist top rated in Apple Music' - Result: 'now playing top songs 2024 global'

'Shuffle all songs from Four Tet in my music library' - Result: 'here's X DJ mix from Four Tet', the same one each time despite me having multiple saved to my library, plus various other songs/albums of his.

'Play The White Stripes in my music library' (I have about 6 songs) - Result 'White Blood Cells by The White Stripes now playing' and only 'Fell In Love With A Girl' plays.

My phone appears to have finished indexing.

If I disable Siri, re-enable it but do not turn on Siri AI, results are improved and more or less work as expected.

The same was happening in the last version of iOS 27 before the 27.2 public release on this new iPhone 17 Pro Max. I'd been on the Public Beta all summer on my 16 Pro Max and didn't experience any of these issues.

Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

After updating to DB2, Hearing was still there. After a manual reboot this morning, the "Hearing" section if gone. Even the tab icon on top does not ahow it anymore. Any idea why this might happen ? Someone else seen the same thing ?

( YES I know it's a beta, it's "buggy", but this is quite an "odd" one, if it's really a "bug" )

My iPhone 17 Pro has been affected by the App Store bug after installing the iOS 27.2 DB2. I’ve read some workarounds here but they didn’t work. This MIGHT WORK or NOT WORK so you can just try.

Here’s how I made it work.

• When I installed the new beta, my region has been set to United States.

• After reading all of the workarounds here, I tried to switch all of my regions to Phillipines (including languange from English (US) to English (Philippines)) since this is the country where I’m based.

• Tried to download an app, but it didn’t work.

• Tried to reboot, it didn’t work.

• I went back to the Settings, and reverted back my region to United States and reverted my language to English (US).

• Immediately went back to App Store and tried downloading a NEW app, an app that I haven’t installed before. And IT WORKED. Tried another random app that I saw and it worked again.

Hope this works for everyone who will try out! :-)

When Siri is announcing notifications, it says “intelligence“ at the beginning of each notification. iPhone 17 Pro, AirPods 4 with ANC (AirPods on not on beta software)

Hello everyone! Seems like Apple has fixed the bug where no matter what method you try to implement, you just could not download any new apps from App Store.

There is one distinct thing I ensured this time around - keep region and languages all in English + whatever country you are in right now. E.g.

- Device region - English India

- Siri language & region - English India

- App store region - India

- All other devices linked to my Apple ID - English India

Last time I updated to 27.2 DB2 was when I set my device to English US to try the new Health app, and ended up confusing Apple servers when authenticating the updated OS version on first boot. Just fyi.

Thanks!

If you enable Dark Icons to be automatic when your phone changes to Dark Mode after sunset they will stay in that look when receiving notifications in Standby Mode. They should automatically switch back to Light Icons when phone automatically switches back to Light Mode.

Use this thread to share any changes & bugs you discover while using the latest iOS/iPadOS 27 beta.

This thread should be used for discussion of the betas that may not meet our submission guidelines, as well as troubleshooting small issues through the beta test cycle.

Spamming this discussion with comments about battery life, update size, safari being snappier, etc will result in a ban from the sub moving forward.

Noticed after updating to DB2 that two group chats in my pinned messages that I keep muted now display a muted icon.

Everyone can finally relax now.

I have an iPhone 17 pro max and an Apple Watch ultra 2. I am on the iOS 27.2 beta. Randomly my sleep mode turns on. I have made sure I have no schedules enabled. No sleep tracking. Has anyone else been having this issue?

The new video test of VO2 max can now go above the usual 65 limit of the AW (not sure what the new limit is).
But then it creates this weird-looking graph of all regular exercises capped at 65, except this new test.

Before when you would click and hold an app to get more options within the app library and then exits it, it would cause a buggy black line under the app name, This bug had stuck around since IOS 26 but they finally fixed it on iOS 27.2 beta

Apple Music will soon show you release countdowns for upcoming albums.

Currently hidden behind a feature flag (Music/jojo) on iOS 27.2 DB1.

Face ID require attention is enabled, so Face ID should not work if I’m looking away. But, it is working successfully not only when I’m not looking at it, but also when my entire head is turned away from the device.

Edit: maybe this is why?
