I have installed the macOS 26 WWDC beta on a secondary volume, and set it up with two user accounts (both administrators).
However, the options for switching users without fully logging out are nowhere to be found.
The topic is still included in macOS Help and is shown when searching for “fast” in System Settings, however, the option is hidden/missing in the pref pane when selected.

Hi All, I searched for this feedback but didn't see it, so apologies if this has been covered by another thread. Exploring the new camera app, It doesn't seem to recognize that external storage has been connected, so the additional features that allow ProRes high frame rates will throw an error dialog stating that "to use this you need external storage" even when external storage is connected. Using the Files app, the phone recognizes the storage, and this is something I can do with this external storage device on the previous version of IOS.
It is clear that this release of the camera has been rewritten significantly since the last version. Is it possible that this is an oversight, a bug, or just functionality that has not been completed? Interested if anybody else is seeing this, or if it is just my setup.
I am maintaining an enterprise iOS app that does a lot of customization to the tab bar's colors based on the organization signed into the app.
Is there a way to revert back to the old style full bottom tab bar rather than the new iOS 26 floating version?
I know last year in iPad OS you could force the bottom tab using traitOverrides, but I'm not seeing a similar option for this.
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
Please see the image for reference. This is a 2020 MBP and ive tried over the past few days and its not recognizing that 26 is available for download.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
In Apple Music I opened fullscreen for a song and I accidentally clicked some keys and the name and artist name of the song I was playing disappeared, and I can't figure out how to get it back, it temporarily comes back when I hover over the top bar but I can not get it to stay there permanently.
Apple Developer Support stated that they don’t have any technical support for this and suggested posting in the Forums or Feedback Assistant app.
Hoping someone here may have encountered this before and maybe has a fix. On any of my devices (macOS, visionos, watchOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and iOS) Beta Update will not show Developer Beta as an option for my Apple Account/ID. The only option would be Public Beta.
As visionOS is only available for Developer Beta, this wouldn’t help with my workflow unfortunately.
My question is whether anyone here has seen that Developer Beta did not show up under Beta Update and what they had to do to get that fixed.
I'm running macOS 15.5. I now have Xcode 26 and I'm testing my iOS app against iOS 26. I've encountered several UIKit / iOS 26 bugs I'd like to report. In Feedback Assistant I choose "Developer Technologies & SDKs". Eventually I get asked "What build does the issue occur on?". The list of choices is:
iOS 18.2 Seed 4
iOS 18.1.1
iOS 17.7.2
An earlier iOS build
I'm not sure
So how to I report this as an iOS 26 beta 1 issue?
Hi community my name is Adam Robles. I have a question. I recently downloaded the beta on my iPad Pro 13 inch and I noticed where are the iPad wallpapers I only get one wallpaper, but where what happened to the wallpaper that was released with iPad last year
I have a dark background and the initial look of the nav bar is showing like there is a light background. See picture. Has anyone experienced this or know of a solution? If I scroll the table up, it will fix itself and start behaving as I'd expect.
I’m currently using the stable release of Xcode 16.4, and I’m considering installing macOS beta 26.
Before I upgrade, I’d like to know:
👉 Is it generally possible to use Xcode 16.4 with macOS Tahoe beta?
My goal is to continue building and submitting apps to the App Store using the non-beta Xcode version. I understand that Apple only officially supports each stable Xcode with the current public macOS release, but in practice, has anyone run into issues doing this?
This would not be my primary development Mac, but I’d still like to be able to compile and test code on the machine running the macOS beta.
I’d appreciate any experiences or official guidance — especially regarding app signing, archiving, or compatibility with Xcode Cloud.
Thanks in advance!
In iOS 26, the mini keyboard bar does not consistently appear when typing with a hardware keyboard. This behavior differs from iOS 18, where the bar was always visible. See screenshots:
I have an app that displays artwork via MPMediaItem.artwork, requesting an image with a specific size. How do I get a media item's MPMediaItemAnimatedArtwork, and how to get the preview image and video to display to the user?
Hi everyone,
I'm exploring the new app icon appearance options (Clear, Dark, Tinted) for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) on iOS26, iPadOS26, and macOS26. Currently, PWA icons don't seem to render well with these new appearances, particularly in Clear and Tinted modes, resulting in very very poor visual quality. You can hardly see anything.
Has support for these icon appearances been fully implemented for PWAs? If so, could someone point me to the relevant Apple Developer documentation or provide guidance on how to configure PWA icons to support Clear, Dark, and Tinted appearances? I've searched the Apple Developer Forums, Stack Overflow, and Reddit but haven't found clear information on this topic.A possible solution is a png file with transparent areas, but if the pattern is dark, nothing will be visible in dark mode.
Any insights or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
(plz don't give up on PWA😭)

After doing a software update I can only view iMessages older than 12hrs (from a single contact) if the other person replies to and older message. Every time I leave the Massages app and go back in the issue occurs again.
I installed the WWDC beta on UTM and I'm unable to find the option to disable the so-called "Natural Scrolling". Has this been removed and if so, can we get it put back?
I use a mouse with scroll wheel and everything is going opposite the direction I expect in the macOS 26 VM.
I'm pretty excited for the all new iOS 26 redesign, but what I'm most excited for is the call screening feature to avoid unwanted calls.
I downloaded the developer's beta on my secondary device to report bugs, but call screening doesn't work on it even though it's turned on. I already sent a feedback report, but I'm not sure if it's just a beta bug or that my iPhone won't support it. I haven't found much info about it.
It's a 2nd gen SE.
Thanks.
Hi, this is my first post in the community, so please correct me if i am posting this somewhat in a wrong manner.
Im using my Apple M1 Pro(14inch, 2021) and installed the os 26 yesterday.
Today, I was using Safari, and all of sudden it gets frozen, then the following window popped up.
Is this something expected? i.e. my usage is somewhat unusual or is there any report around potential memory leak in Safari? appreciate any suggestions, as Safari is my main browser and currently on hold due to this issue. Thanks
Prior to iOS 26, it was possible to design an inputAccessoryView(Controller) that would integrate seamlessly with the system keyboard, by which I mean appearing as a natural extension of the system keyboard. For example, using CYRKeyboardButton https://github.com/tmcintos/CYRKeyboardButton.
To date, I have successfully used this to provide an enhanced numeric key row within my apps, which is a distinguishing feature of these apps. It took a lot of engineering and testing effort to perfect this design. However, with iOS 26 the design is completely broken due to the system keyboard UI change, which makes it impossible to display an inputAccessoryView seamlessly along the top of the system keyboard (see attached screenshots).
In my opinion, it is just plain reckless for Apple to make these kinds of trivial UI changes, which break existing app designs without adding any significant value to the user experience.

Is there an issue with the softwareupdate utility?
I am attempting to start my application on iOS 26 with Xcode 26. It uses an UISplitViewController that is instantiated through a Storyboard. It uses the "Unspecified" style, which is a holdover from a previous version of iOS. I'm not sure if this is a bug in iOS, or if I am supposed to change it now. The viewControllers property only has the primary view controller on iOS, although it has the primary and detail view controllers on iPadOS. When I start the application on iOS 18.5, it has both primary and detail controllers on both platforms.
