iOS 26. It listens to my streaming services and sometimes it obeys commands of the actors. For example when someone said search for a new CEO a drop-down menu appeared in front of the screen and it searched for a CEO.

If your content has anything that sounds like “Siri” it will listen to audible content, then try to do a search. As a first step go to Settings/Apple Intelligence & Siri and change the voice prompt to “Hey, Siri”, or turn it off completely and use the side button to invoke Siri.

Asking a question like that here on a support forum is like walking into the Emergency Room at the hospital and ask if anyone is sick.


No one would come here if everything is fine. While some people are experiencing some problems, given the number of devices updating to iOS 26, it is a small percentage. I've not experienced any problems with my iPhone 16 Pro Max, or my iPad Pro 11.

Updated the new iOS on my iPhone last week. I’ve been having issues on social media platforms like Facebook- scrolling on my friend’s/ family’s pictures does not allow me to scroll all the way down- it’s choppy. Also whenever I use FaceTime, I automatically get my call ended. Very weird and I asked if my friends/ family ended the call and they said no. I did update on my iPad and experienced the same things such as scrolling through pictures.


Anyone else have the same problem??? It could be from Facebook too or other social media platforms have been affected. I hope they are able to fix these things asap.

I updated to iOS 26 on Friday. Now my iMessages brings up a blank, white screen. I can’t get into my texts. My phone app goes in and out. I can’t receive calls or call out. Went to my wireless carrier & they told me that it was an Apple issue. I was able to chat with Apple on my computer & they couldn’t do anything. Said I would have to take it to an Apple Store. Going to do that today. Very frustrating. My phone is close to being paid off & was working fine.

Since installing iOS 26, some websites have the blinking cursor one line BELOW where I am typing. If I move it to the line I’m typing, it affects the line above me instead of the line I’m working on. Also an issue with certain buttons like post.


I actually like the appearance and functionality. The experience feels more like an Android with the new multitasking features, which I love.
