iOS 26 Developer Beta 1 - Lemmy.World

Anyone install the Dev Beta yet? If not, please feel free to share any resources discussing the beta or compiling a compatibility list.

Seems really stable for the first beta so far, but have a couple of minor quirks.

Face ID to unlock the phone intermittently stops working and o have to fall back to my PIN.

A lot of third party messaging apps (Beeper, Discord, WhatsApp, etc) suffer from the message window being pushed off the top of the screen when I type a message/pop the keyboard.

No Face ID issues thus far, but I can say third party app issues are to be expected. If there is a public beta track for their app there is a chance the developer will address those issues with a beta release. If not, you will have to wait for Apple to refine iOS 26 to the point the dependent behavior is resolved, Apple current released version of Xcode allows iOS 26 fixes, or for the GM release.

At this point I am experiencing some annoying CarPlay iMessage reply inconsistencies while music or a third party podcast app is playing.
