Recently used emoticons
Why can’t Apple just release a version that put the most frequent used emoticons in the most left side of the emoticons keyboard??? Each person always uses the same 20 or 30 emoticons. How this could be reported to developers? Thx

IOS 26.1 beta crashes prores raw external recording
Hi I experience this problem after update to the newest developer beta software on my iphone 17 pro: blackmagic camera said "storage full" although it is not final cut camera said "close and open the app again" It still works with prores (not raw). Anyone has the same problem as mine? I did try uninstall and reinstall the app and also restart the phone, try using different external ssd drive but nothing works.

System Data Occupying Half of My Storage
If Apple truly requires this much space for the system, I honestly don’t see the point of having a 256GB device. I have no way of knowing what exactly is included in “System Data,” and I cannot modify or manage it. This is extremely frustrating and confusing for users. Can someone explain why this is necessary?

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?

ios26 camera problem on home screen apps
since the release of iOS26 i get new reports of people making home screen apps of website pages that had camera accessibility to take pictures that mention the camera being 90degree sideways to what it should be. i have tested it myself and was able to reproduce the issue quite easily on iPhones 13|15|16 regular and pro versions. this affects all cameras when trying using them with navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({...})...

How to change the copyright of my app
Hi, I'm here hoping for some help or advice in terms of a critical situation I'm currently facing. I want to change the copyright of an app, which was my previous app but now transferred to another company. In the Apple developer panel, is there anywhere that can change the copyright? Here is a quick summary of the app development, Software Vendor 1 developed the app, then transferred to Software Vendor 2, eventually the Client user(only paid for the app but don't have developer account) can use it. Now, I'm the Software Vendor 1 and has transferred the app to Software Vendor 2, but the copyright is still Software Vendor 1; and I want to ask Vendor 2 change the copyright to Client user directly as the Client user has bought the app. I’ve contacted Apple Support multiple times through mails. They just tell me to ask the Account Holder/Admin of the organization account that now owned the app to contact them in order to receive support. Then, I've asked Software Vendor 2 to contact Apple support, but have no response from Apple support after 1 week. My Case number is: 102708379460 This case is quite urgent for me, if anyone from the App Support team sees this post, or if any developers have experienced a similar situation and can offer advice, we would be truly grateful. Thank you in advance for your time and support.

External Keyboard and Mouse Input Broken in iOS/iPadOS 18.4.1 — Apple and Third-Party Devices Affected (Magic Keyboard, Redragon K580RGBPRO, Razer Naga V2 Pro)
In the public release of iOS 18.4.1 and iPadOS 18.4.1, external input support for keyboards and mice is critically degraded. This issue affects both Apple-branded and third-party HID-compliant devices, over both wired USB-C and Bluetooth. Tested Hardware: • iPhone 16 Pro Max (256GB) • iPad Pro (USB-C, latest gen), last gen iPad as well Affected Devices: • Apple Magic Mouse and Keys (wired USB-C/Bluetooth) • Redragon K580RGBPRO (Bluetooth/wired USB-C) • Razer Naga V2 Pro (Bluetooth/USB-C) Symptoms: • Severe keystroke delay and dropped input • Modifier keys (Shift, Command, Option) fail intermittently • Input degrades further with multiple HID devices connected • Mouse input via Bluetooth exhibits pointer lag and jitter • Occurs in all apps: Notes, Safari, Mail, text fields, password entries, etc. • Identical results using Apple USB-C cables Reproducibility: 100%. Clean boots, minimal background activity, and isolated environments (including Airplane Mode) do not resolve the issue. Identical behavior across both iPhone and iPad. Expected Behavior: All HID-compliant external input devices — particularly Apple-branded ones — should provide low-latency, reliable, and consistent input over both USB-C and Bluetooth, especially in a production iOS/iPadOS release. Actual Behavior: External keyboards and mice exhibit: • Lag • Dropped characters • Failed modifiers • Degraded mouse tracking Even with the latest hardware and clean configurations. Severity: Critical. This is a platform-level failure affecting I/O at the user interaction layer. Input reliability is non-negotiable — especially on $2000+ flagship devices using Apple’s own peripherals. Closing Note (for Apple engineering & peer devs): This is not a beta regression — it’s a public release flaw that undermines iOS and iPadOS usability for power users, professionals, and accessibility communities alike. That Apple Magic Keyboard, Redragon, and Razer gear all fail equally and consistently should be a wake-up call. Apple: this needs to be escalated. Now. External input — one of the most basic subsystems in any OS — is broken on your highest-end devices.

diskutil "eraseDisk" on disk0 using terminal
Hi Apple Team & Everyone, Can someone guide me why sending 'diskutil eraseDisk APFS "WIPED" GPT /dev/disk0' command via terminal to remove/wipe the main physical drive (disk0) is failed? I tried booting into recovery mode, but it still didn’t work. The command returned the following error: Started erase on disk0 Unmounting disk The volume on disk0 couldn't be unmounted because it is in use by process 0 (kernel). Error: -69877: Couldn't open device I understand that we can use Disk Utility (GUI) to unmount and erase the drive. Is it possible to perform this operation via Terminal to erase disk0? I would appreciate any guidance on this. Regards, Winson

Installer hangs during installation of Epson iProjection app on macOS 26 (Tahoe)
Installer hangs during installation of Epson iProjection app on macOS 26 (Tahoe) When running the installer for Epson iProjection Ver.4.03 on macOS 26 (Tahoe) RC, the installation process hangs midway and becomes unresponsive. Run the installer for Epson iProjection Ver.4.03 from the following link: https://support.epson.net/setupnavi/?LG2=EN&OSC=WS&PINF=vpapp&MKN=EB-770Fi The installer hangs during the installation process and does not proceed. (Please refer to the attached screenshot for details.) The installation should complete successfully without hanging. <Version / Build> macOS 26 RC (25A353) The installation error log is as follows: RemotePlugin: Epson iProjection Ver.4.03 terminated with error: Error Domain=com.apple.ViewBridge Code=17 "(null)" UserInfo={com.apple.ViewBridge.error.hint=connection to view service became invalid -- benign unless unexpected, com.apple.ViewBridge.error.description=NSViewBridgeErrorDisconnection} Is this behavior expected due to changes introduced in macOS 26? Are there any recommended workarounds or mitigation steps?

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. Thank you!

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.

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)
