Corrupt IOS Beta 4 and iPad
Hi, Have done the update for IOS Beta 4 and after it was done the screen just had the background and no icons. Couldn't get to any of the icons. Tried to do a restore on the iPad from my Mac and it started the restore but then got the message that it errored out and gave me this: Need help trying to get this fixed. Also tried a computer that wasn't in the beta and got the same error message. Tried to turn it off and then see if it would go back to the error before and it just stays in recovery mode. Please help. Thank you.

Apple Photos - Collections Section
Hello everyone, I’m having an issue with the Photos app on my iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26 Beta 2 (happened in first Beta as well). When I open the Photos app and go to the Collections section, it’s completely blank — no photos, just empty space. The library seems to be working fine and my photos show up in the Library. I’ve tried restarting the phone and force-quitting the app, but no change. Could it be a bug? Also, I just switched from Android to IOS, one week ago, if this detail helps. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any fixes or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Remote control
Hi everyone, I’m working on a concept for an iOS app that would allow a user to remotely control an Enterprise iOS device, similar to how AnyDesk or TeamViewer work on desktop. I understand that apps like TeamViewer for iOS offer screen sharing, and some level control but not a full level control. Before I invest further in development, I’d like to clarify a few points: Is there any official Apple-supported way (public or private API) to allow remote control of an iOS device? Has Apple ever approved apps that allow true remote control of iOS (not just screen sharing)? If full control is not allowed, what are the permitted alternatives (e.g. screen broadcast via ReplayKit, remote assistance mode, etc.)? Would such an app be considered for enterprise distribution only (via MDM), or is there a potential App Store path? Any insight or experience from developers who’ve tried this would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Unexpected high mobile data usage when travelling in Europe using an ESIM on iPhone 16 Pro Max
The iPhone mobile data usage skyrocketed to use 1GB per day whereas I am normally a 5GB a month data user. the culprit was Apple System Services General there is currently no iPhone functionality to turn off System Services Genera. the solution was to block updates.cdn-apple.com using data sniffer called Proxyman. Tip hat to the person who posted “High mobile data usage on iOS 18 and how to solve it” on Reddit.com This is something apple developers maybe should look at

Issue getting back only a subset of product IDs for purchase controller
As of today we seem to continuously get back 21 of the product IDs we have defined when the shop initializes. This is causing what looks like intermittent bug behavior in our shop. The IDs sent each time are random (not always the same 21). So sometimes they match shop offers and the packs look right and can be bought and sometimes the ones our current shop offers need are not sent and so the offers in game look wrong and error when you try to buy. Is anyone else seeing this new behavior of not getting down all their product IDs successfully?

Unknown unauthorized mdm
m personal iPhone is managed by an Unauthorized and Unknown mdm management team, The profile isn’t showing up in VPN Settings and I can’t remove them from having Remote access and control over my Personal Device! I’ve SPENT MANY MONTHS TRYING TO GET SUPPORT VIA EMAILING APPLE DEVELOPER AND SPEAKING TO APPLE SUPPORT WHICH HAS BEEN EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING AND HUMILIATIN! I’ve resorted to contacting Internet crime websit, the federal trade commissio, Better business bureau and Consumer Affairs to file an online complaint against Apple for not complying with their Security and Privacy policy for consumers accounts! Because of this unauthorized and unknown mdm devi management profile I don’t have COMPLETE CONTROL OVER MY OWN IPHONE! !

Support for 20-20-20 iOS App
Hey guys! I'm currently designing an app that will implement the 20-20-20 rule. This eye health technique has personally helped millions of people around the world, including myself, as it allowed me to control my eyesight that was significantly growing at one point. After moving to a new house, I for some reason began lowering how much I followed the rule. I researched apps on the app store and other Reddit threads, but it doesn't seem to exist (at least, on mobile), so I decided to make my own. Before deployment, I wanted to test the waters and gauge interest for such a project and platform. If you're interested in this, or just want to help a fellow Swift dev out, please fill out this quick form (I will use this as a waitlist eventually)! Link: https://forms.gle/j7vmFeGq8BffBMYz6 Thanks a lot for your support! Happy to answer any questions!

But I use last version of iTunes / Apple Devices, which was realised 2 May, 2025. That mean Apple need to update their apps for adaptation it to iOS 26 update?

MacBook Pro M1 - 15.5 Kernel Panic when waking from sleep
Hi, EtreCheck I could really use some help with this, as I haven’t been able to find much concrete info. I mistakenly updated my MacBook to the 15.5 beta, and while I can’t say with 100% certainty that the issues started immediately after, I’ve been experiencing consistent kernel panics every time the machine wakes from sleep — it restarts completely and throws an error. I’m really hoping this isn’t a hardware issue. The MacBook is just over two years old, and I rely on it daily for work — replacing it right now isn’t an option. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Time Machine backup to roll back to. I’ve already wiped the machine and reinstalled macOS via recovery mode, and Apple Diagnostics isn’t showing any hardware problems. Just to rule it out: I’m not using any external devices — no docks, Thunderbolt accessories, or anything else plugged in. I came across EtreCheck as a recommended tool, and I’ve included the results below. If anyone is able to help interpret them or point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. I’ve since unenrolled from the beta and turned off automatic updates — I’m just hoping this is a beta-related bug that resolves with the next stable release. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

IOS 26 , bugs?
updated my iPhone 15 to iOS 26 last night and now when I put the alert slider on silent, my notifications won’t vibrate. Even after checking all settings in sounds and haptics to be correct, it still isn't vibrating on silent. Also the apple music search bar is a little flimsy? Merging the text and microphone options

Can't update to macOS 26 beta 2
I've got the initial WWDC beta of macOS 26 (25A5279m) installed inside a virtual machine (UTM), but can't seem to update to the second beta. Nothing is showing up within Software Update. Is this because it's within a VM, or am I doing something wrong? It'd be a real pain to have to install a new VM afresh with the RestoreImage for every update.

Will 3rd party speakers support eARC/ARC on tvOS 26?
tvOS 26 rolls out the feature to set every AirPlay speaker as permanent in the settings. Is there a possibility to setup eARC like with the HomePods for other devices connected to a TV or will this stay a HomePod only feature?
