Problem with login access and security on iOS 26, iPhone 13 Pro Max
Hi, I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 26.0 (beta). After installing the update, I get a message stating that I need to update my Apple account settings. When I log in, it freezes and nothing can be done. I also can't access the login and security settings, as it also freezes and won't progress. Also, the option to install beta versions has disappeared. I don't know why? Could it be that since I have the latest beta, the option disappears until a new update? Please help!

Wunsch nach transparenterem Umgang mit Public-Beta-Feedback
Sehr geehrtes Apple-Team, ich bin seit mehreren Jahren aktiver Teilnehmer am Public Beta-Programm und habe in dieser Zeit zahlreiche Feedbackmeldungen über die Feedback Assistant App eingereicht – teils mit ausführlicher Fehlerbeschreibung, Screenshots oder systematischer Reproduktionshilfe. Leider bleibt bei mir als Nutzer der Eindruck zurück, dass dieses Feedback ins Leere läuft. Viele meiner Meldungen stehen seit Jahren im Status „Offen“, ohne jegliche Rückmeldung oder sichtbare Bearbeitung. Auch wenn mir bewusst ist, dass eine individuelle Antwort nicht vorgesehen ist, fehlt mir zumindest eine Bestätigung, dass das Feedback angekommen ist, bewertet wurde oder an die zuständige Stelle weitergeleitet wurde. Ich wünsche mir als engagierter Tester mehr Transparenz im Umgang mit unseren Rückmeldungen – sei es durch eine automatische Eingangsbestätigung, eine grobe Statusanzeige (z. B. „dupliziert“, „weitergeleitet“, „behoben in Version XY“) oder gelegentliche Hinweise, wie viele Probleme durch die Community-Beiträge erkannt und gelöst wurden. Diese kleine Form der Anerkennung würde die Motivation vieler freiwilliger Tester stärken und das Vertrauen in den Prozess erhöhen. So wie es derzeit gestaltet ist, entsteht eher das Gegenteil: Frustration, Zweifel am Nutzen des Feedbacks und damit auch weniger Bereitschaft, zukünftige Probleme zu melden. Ich hoffe sehr, dass Sie diese Anregung intern weitergeben – auch im Sinne der langfristigen Qualitätssicherung Ihrer Software. Vielen Dank. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Dear Apple Team, I have been an active Public Beta tester for several years and have submitted many reports via the Feedback Assistant – often with detailed descriptions, reproduction steps, and screenshots. Unfortunately, from a user’s perspective, it feels like this feedback disappears into a black hole. Most of my reports remain marked as “Open” for years, without any indication of review or resolution. I understand that individual responses are not part of the process, but there is no confirmation that feedback is received, reviewed, or forwarded internally. As a committed tester, I would greatly appreciate more transparency in the feedback process – for example, a short confirmation message, a basic status indicator (e.g., “duplicate”, “forwarded”, “resolved in version XY”) or even general updates about how user feedback contributes to product improvement. These small gestures would strengthen trust in the process and encourage ongoing contributions. The current silence, however, tends to demotivate testers and raises doubts about the usefulness of reporting bugs at all. I hope you will consider this suggestion and possibly forward it to the responsible internal teams. Sincerely, Christian

CSV or TSV file in Numbers app
Hi Everybody knows about how this kind of files works. My issue is about trying to load data from these files to a HTML page. Everything works, I can read and use this data on my project however the records I have in Numbers, text where there are commas for punctuation, will be separated when this file is loaded. The comma is breaking the records, I know this is a CSV file but is there a way to set semicolon as delimiter on Mac or Numbers to be able to use the comma in my records without any issue? Also could be another symbol, but definitely I need the commas. thank you!

i0S26 issue with CarPlay
I just upgraded to iOS 26.0 Now when I use car play, the text messages do not show up, only the notification tone on my phone alarms. So now when I get texts while driving, I need to read my phone to read the text. I tried all the solutions within settings but this is a BIG DRAWBACK compared to the old iOS.

Audio quality
Since updating to iOS 26, audio recordings made through apps like Snapchat and Instagram sound broken, saccaded and choppy. The issue happens with or without headphones. It feels like the microphone is either misused or filtered too aggressively by the app, leading to a stuttering or “cut-off” effect during speech. This doesn’t happen when recording audio in the Voice Memos app or the Camera app — only in social media apps.

No calls history after downgrading from iOS 26
Hi, I made backup as Apple suggested. Then I updated to iOS 26 developer beta. Because it was slow and laggy I downgraded back to 18.5 with iTunes on MacBook. After restoring backup I cannot get history (recent calls) working. I tried to change region, airplane mode, reset network settings, change date and time, reboot (3x). Basically I guess I tried everything I cloud find online. Still call history doesn't work. Is there any fix for this? Before restoring backup I reinstalled everything in restore mode.

SwiftUI DocumentGroup + ReferenceFileDocument not saving changes after file rename
I'm building a document-based app using SwiftUI's DocumentGroup with a ReferenceFileDocument. Everything works well when documents are created in the "On My iPhone" directory — they save(After registering Undo action), even after renaming. However, when I create a document inside iCloud Drive (by default it creates in iCloud Drive as iCloud sync is enabled in capabilities), the document: ✅ Saves properly before rename ❌ Stops saving changes after renaming the file (By taping the filename at the top of the screen When document is open(Using inline rename UI in the navigation bar)) This issue only occurs for iCloud Drive–based documents. The same rename flow works fine for locally stored documents. How can i ensure the document continues saving properly in this case?

Understanding Battery Usage Percentage Calculation in iOS 26
Hello, I have a question regarding the new battery usage interface in iOS 26. As shown in the attached screenshot, the system displays battery usage per app as a percentage (%). I’m curious about how this percentage is calculated. From what I can tell, it doesn’t seem to reflect the actual battery consumption per process, excluding the device’s base standby power. It rather appears to be calculated as a relative percentage based on total battery drain, possibly including system idle power. Is there any way to understand or estimate the actual battery usage per app, excluding the device’s inherent standby power consumption? Thank you.

Enrollment Delay – Waiting 2.5 Months with No Update
Hello, I’m reaching out here because I have exhausted all other support channels without success. I submitted an enrollment request for the Apple Developer Program on March 3, 2025 (Enrollment ID: 3CJFXN3AA3), and it’s now been over 2.5 months with no resolution. All required documents have been submitted, confirmed received by Apple Support, and multiple follow-ups have been made (Case #102541675488). Each time, I’m told that the case is still under review, but I haven’t received any clear update or timeline. Is there anything else I can do to move this process forward? Is there a better way to escalate or contact someone who can help finalize the review? Any advice or help from the community or Apple team would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Daniyar

Enrollment Could Not Be Completed
I have been trying since January to get myself enrolled in the Apple Developer program. I’ve called customer support, I’ve sent emails, I’ve plead and begged and no avail. First I registered and I was not aware there would be such a steep price point. I couldn’t afford it so I got these emails — then later when I try to re-enroll, it asks me to verify my identity, which I did with my state issued id. So it says I can’t continue. I email and ask why and get this back.. So I call and someone named Mallory who assures me she’s the highest point of escalation under Steve Jobs tells me there is nothing anyone can do, she can’t tell me why it’s not allowed but it’s just not and I’m screwed, then hangs up on me and sends this - and my most recent attempts to continue support just get met with a “We can’t cont your enrollment at this time for one or more reasons”. So I have decided to post every day, every where, as much as possible until someone from Apple corrects this. I can’t seem to get help otherwise.

Apple Music Preview URLs from MusicKit
Hey guys, I've been searching high and low for some clarity when it comes to this topic. Essentially, what is the legality/risk of using apple music previews in my app. Does Apple license the previews meaning they are fair to use as long as I link to that URL? Do i need to license every song individually? I can not find anything concrete out and while the apple team let my app (that currently plays preview urls) on the app store I know that doesn't necessarily legally cover me. Any input is appreciated, i know this is a pretty niche area.
