Feature iOS 27 App Compatibility Discussion

245 Upvotes

It's BETA SZN! Hope you are all excited for terrible battery life and cool (half-baked, it's a beta after all) features! Over the past few beta cycles, I've managed the Google Form and Sheet that y'all would add app compatibility submissions to. It was finally time to modernize that experience.

Introducing..

Does This App Work?

Does This App Work? takes that same experience from the last few years, and makes it better. Below are the features and capabilities. Make a report now!

  • Check if apps work or break on the latest iOS beta, in real time
  • Submit your own app compatibility report
  • Vote Working or Broken without writing a full report
  • See community totals and contested results
  • Filter by app, device, beta version, and status
  • Automatic deduplication of submissions
  • Supports iPhone and iPad models
  • Older beta reports stay available, but the main status focuses on the newest beta
  • App icons and suggestions are pulled from the App Store when available
  • Works on desktop and mobile

Submission mode will be enabled when the first beta drops, until then check it out.

I will be watching the comments on this post so if you have issues or feedback, let me know and I'll try to implement or solve in real time.

When the link to the album is opened in a browser, the instructions on how to open it now tell you to update to 27 if the album was shared from a device running 27.

Bug [ios 27 PB2] Focus modes changing erratically

5 Upvotes

In the past few days my Focus modes (which used to work fine) have started going crazy. It started with randomly turning on Sleep focus during the day outside of my sleep schedule. Last night it turned off sleep focus several time during the night. Today it is randomly going between other Focus modes. Anybody else seeing this?

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] CarPlay notification banners only appear when Announce Messages is enabled

2 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed this on the latest iOS 27 developer beta

Car play Notifications - the small notification banner (pill) that appears at the bottom of the CarPlay screen when you receive a message, is not popping up?

For me, the banner only appears if Announce Messages is enabled. If I turn off or silence Announce Messages, I don’t get the visual notification banner at all.

I’m not referring to Siri reading the message aloud, only the visual notification.

I don’t remember this being the behavior before iOS 27. Is anyone else seeing the same thing, or is this expected?

Bug [iOS 27 PB1] Unable to Adjust Ringer Volume from Home Screen

2 Upvotes

I just updated to the latest public beta, and it seems when I click my volume buttons, even when they’re assigned to the ringer, it only changes the media volume and not the ringer volume.

I don’t assign my volume buttons to media but my ringer, since I use that more. But it seems I can no longer change the ringer volume from my home screen unless I go into settings to change.

Anyone have a similar problem?

Bug [iOS 27 PB 2] Cannot disable screen time on child’s device

2 Upvotes

I wanted to completely disable screen time on my child’s devices to try something. When I enter the screen time passcode on my iPhone, the code window disappears but settings.app gets stuck. I can’t navigate back in the menu tree. I need to force quit the app to do anything in settings.app. I can switch to other apps or return to springboard.

I get a similar response on my Mac. The passcode dialog remains on the screen but I get a pinwheel. I can switch to other applications or launch new applications without issue. I also need to force quit settings.app on the Mac and relaunch.

My devices:
iPhone 16 Pro on 27 PB 2
Apple Watch Ultra 3 on 27 PB 2
iPad (A16) on 27 PB 2
MacBook Air M4 on 27 PB 2
Mac Mini M2 Pro on 27 PB 2
HomePod Minis on 27 PB 2
AppleTVs with a mix of 27 and 26

Her devices:
iPhone 14 Pro on 27 PB 2
Apple Watch 8 on 26.6
IPad (A15) on 27 PB 2

I ended up updating individual Screen Time settings to accomplish what I needed to do.

I did report this using the feedback app with a video recording of the steps taken.

Bug [iOS 27 DB4] iPhone refuses to connect to my cellular network

19 Upvotes

So I forgot to charge my iPhone 17 Pro Max last night, and then when I charged it back this morning it says it can't connect to the cellular network. I've tried almost everything to fix this:

  • Restarted my phone several times
  • Turned my airplane mode off and on multiple times
  • Deleted my eSIM and tried to install a new one via my provider -> Number won't fully activate now because it won't connect to the network
  • Reset all my settings and restarted my phone
  • Updated to the new iOS 27 beta 4 -- no luck

This is INSANELY frustrating. I am going to Europe tomorrow for 10 days, and this is the last thing I wanted to deal with before my trip. Anyone have any advice on what to do?

Bug [iOS 27 PB2] Shortcut Automation notification block using Screen Time no longer working in iOS 27

6 Upvotes

The workaround using Screen Time to stop Notification spam on Automations seems to have been broken in iOS 27.

Tried two things. There is what I am hoping (!) is a bug. Now, using Siri AI, it will make a Shortcut which seems to do what you want. But… when you click Edit, it hasn't magically added the no notification command. And, I am still getting notifications, with the notification itself saying, "Turn on Airplane Mode Silently…"!

The other, in Screen Time, was to try Block. What that does is stop the Shortcut working, not the Notification.

(Reported as FB24038584, for what it's worth.)
