Phone App Being Quirky - Touch Tone Not Working, not able to answer
I have been trying to make phone calls using the Phone app on my MacBook Air. The calls will go through with absolutely no problem. If it's a service that needs touch-tone phone prompts, the tones do not register with the automated system. I have also just noticed that when a call rings on my computer (and it IS ringing), there is no way to answer it. I am running Tahoe Beta 26.1 Any thoughts?

tvOS 18.3 Beta Bug
Hello :-) I‘m not entirely sure, if I‘m on the correct Place here. But I would like to report a Bug with tvOS 18.3 (latest beta) to the Apple Engineers! When maximizing an app, a clear color jump occurs. The home screen is more colorful than the open app! You can easily force this: open an app, e.g. the App Store back to the home screen open the app again now you can see a color jump of the GUI!!! The color becomes paler when the app is open. On the home screen it is more colorful again! The problem occurs with every app! So it is a global tvOS Bug! I can also send an example video if that's helpful! Best regards, Christian :-)

macOS 26 Games app – Achievement description shows incorrect text before unlocking
Hello, I found an issue with the Games app on macOS 26 (Tahoe) when viewing achievements: In App Store Connect, each achievement has different values set for the pre-earned description and the post-earned description. When testing with GameKit directly (GKAchievementDescription), both values are returned correctly. However, in the macOS Games app, the post-earned description is shown even before the achievement is earned. This seems to be a display issue specific to the Games app on macOS. Could you confirm if this is a known bug in the Games app, or if there is a reason why pre-earned descriptions are not being shown? Thank you.

Hi Ed Ford, thank you for your response. I tried to reply directly in the forum with the requested output, but I keep receiving an error message ("Your post couldn’t be saved. Please try again in a few minutes."). It seems I cannot currently post a follow-up reply. Just to notify you: I ran the command you suggested, but my shell reports zsh: command not found: devicectl.

IOS 26 Beta
so far the only issue I’m having since the update yesterday is my Bluetooth. Every time I try to use my Bluetooth headphones since the update, they either just stop working midway through playing a song or watching a video, etc., or they play a super high pitched noise that causes me to have to rip my headphones out of my ears.

iOS 26 PB5 CarPlay possibly crashing car's infotainment system
This is purely speculation (but I have reason to believe it is the case) because I'm trying to narrow it down but, has anyone reported CarPlay in iOS 26 Beta potentially crashing vehicle infotainment systems? I have a 2025 Jeep Wrangler which is running UConnect 5. I can't prove it is the case but since updating to IOS 26 PB, I've been noticing that my infotainment system in my vehicle has been freezing, locking up, and resetting upon boot. I can't narrow this down to the phone causing it, but I can't rule it out as of now. I know that most of our infotainment units that offer CarPlay are typically running off Android, but is there a possibility that the iOS Beta is crashing our infotainment units upon connection? Again, I am just posting this to see if a) anyone can confirm that yes CarPlay can crash the Android backend of infotainment units or b) if anyone has experienced odd issues with CarPlay and their vehicle's infotainment system either freezing, crashing, or rebooting since installing iOS Beta 26. It happens when the iPhone is connected wirelessly via CarPlay, and I believe also when it is connected wired via CarPlay.

About region detection in the iBeacon app
We plan to use signals emitted from iBeacon to perform region detection in an app currently under development. We would like to know if region detection (didEnterRegion) can be performed when the app is in certain states. Region detection must be performed reliably. Is it possible to perform region detection in all of the following situations? • When the app is in the foreground • When the app is in the background • When the app is force-closed • When the smartphone is in sleep mode • When the smartphone is restarted Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Backup when wanting to connect to MacBook
Hi all, I’m trying to add a file to a game on my iPhone via my MacBook. Now we have no iTunes connecting with the cable brings up the same menus however I’m being told I have to reset my iPhone back to factory settings to do this (see attached). I’m on IOS26 beta 6. A couple of questions I’ve backed up via iCloud, if I reset would I be able to reset it right back to my current set up with the beta, would I lose anything? Is there another way to connect to my MacBook to enable access to the games and files that would allow me to do a minor change without having to reset?

On latest beta iPhone 16 Pro Max
The camera/microphone usage light comes on whenever I switch apps. The only thing it shows when I try to see what app is accessing the camera or microphone is What it’s accessin: Camera and the app that is accessing Camera is the Camera app… shouldn’t it show the process or app that is using the Camera app to access the camera?

Installing macOS 26 on Partition
Hello, I’m wanting to install macOS 26 on a partition on my MacBook Pro so I can use the fully featured Xcode Beta. I was able to create the partition but am having trouble figuring out how to install the operating system on the partition because on the developer downloads site there is only .ispw files. What are the steps to do this successfully? Thanks. Kevin

iOS 26 - Microphone is on 24 x 7 and Draining Battery !!!
I'm a Beta user for iOS 26. I update my iPhone whenever there is an update. The issue that I found out is, "my Microphone is ON the whole day & night (24 x 7 - There is an orange dot in my dynamic island area), which is also draining my battery faster. The overall performance has also come down. I gave microphone permission to only 3-4 apps (i.e. WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, Alexa etc.), so there is no problem in the settings. I'm attaching one image here, which shows that iPhone is cont. using my mic.
