I installed Apple Watch 2, Beta 5 last week. Since its installation, I'm getting an average of about 6 hours of battery life on my watch. I'm unable to install any non-Apple apps - they indicate they are installing but just die, and the watch eats up battery at a rate of about 10% or more per hour, while no apps are active except the normal watch face. I put my watch on at 10:30 a.m. today; it is now 2:30 p.m. and the watch has 44% charge left. I've activated nothing and have used the watch as solely a timepiece. This is not good news. What gives?

Two things here: Singpass isn't an Apple app, right? Okay, so it's up to Singpass to update their app to work with iOS 26. But... iOS 26 isn't released yet so an update to Singpass cannot be released yet. So, to conclude - you installed a beta version of iOS and one of your third-party apps doesn't work - that's on you, buddy. Don't install a beta on your primary device. We've been saying this since 2008. Do you honestly think the same people who design the wallpapers are the ones writing the platform code?! It's not cool to suggest that your specific need is more important than something else, especially a Pride wallpaper - it's a bit homophobic, don't you think? Just chill, and be nice to everyone.

I was just in the same boat but was able to boot into DFU mode to resolve it. I was running the latest 18.5 beta on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Decided to try the iOS 26 dev beta (like I do every year) and encountered my first soft brick situation...got stuck on the battery splash as described here. Putting the device in DFU mode (direct firmware update) allowed me to restore using my Mac. Keep in mind this will wipe your device, but I'm an iCloud user so not worried about that, and using my phone in general was most important to me. 9to5 Mac has a pretty good article on using DFU mode. Keep in mind when done right, you will not see an Apple logo or any splash, you'll see a black screen. Then when plugging into your Mac it will be recognized (unlike with the battery splash). Good Luck.

This is really irritating to plug in my iPhone 11 Pro 3 times a day ! Please give me the old iOS 13.7 Update or please fixed this battery draining issue quickly ! this is really giving me too much pain. I didn't expect that irritating update from apple.
When we compile our app using Xcode 26 and run it on iOS 26, we encounter a strange crash where the crashing thread shows no stack trace. After inspecting the registers, we have initially traced it to the Google Mobile Ads SDK. When we disable the initialization of the Google Mobile Ads SDK, the app no longer crashes. However, running the Google Mobile Ads SDK demo app on iOS 26 alone does not cause any issues; the crash only occurs once it is integrated into our app. We also tried enabling Address Sanitizer and Zombie Objects but found no valuable clues. Could you advise what other methods or tools we can use to further diagnose this issue? Additionally, when we compile the app with Xcode 15 and run it on iOS 26, everything works fine without crashes. app-2025-09-19-161044.ips.txt

It’s been only two weeks since I bought my new iPhone 11. I updated the phone to ios 14.0.2 after a week and clearly it’s killing my battery . Is there any real fix? This can’t be happening with a brand new phone.
Unexpected shutdown Iphone XS Max battery health 98% only on IOS 12.4 beta 3?Apple please fix this.
When previewing the recording of gameplay the buttons to exit or save are unclickable behind the top bar clock and Wi-Fi/5G status bar. Which means that you have to quit the game in order to continue. Tested on multiple devices. Does anyone have a solution to this? At the moment we have disabled it altogether for iOS 26 users.
Same here. Horrible battery life since day 1 of install, but that's life in beta, lol

I downloaded the beta 1 a week or so ago and have had no issues.However I have had to take my iPhone to apple today due to a hardware issue and they have swapped my phone with a new one. I have since downloaded iOS 9 beta 2 to the new phone and then tried to restore the phone with the back up i made prior to coming to the Apple store.However, after the 20 minutes or so it takes to go through the 'Restoring iPhone from back up' screen, it comes up with an error at the end of:'iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the back up was corrupt or not compatiable wioth the iPhone being restored.Is the issue because the phone when I backed it up, was running beta 1, and there is now beta 2?Do I need to install the iOS 9 beta 1 software, then restore my phone and then update it to beta 2?Any suggestions would be great... Really hope my backup isnt corrupt and I havent lost everything!Thanks for your help.
