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.

I do not use haptics except on silent so I noticed that my phone had silenced post-update immediately. I know you said your case muted the phone, but my case isn’t anywhere near the buttons. I still flipped it off and on just to be sure but it was still vibrating. I assumed it was something new but after an unsuccessful tour of the settings, I gave up. About an hour after the update, I turned the ringer off and then on again…then it worked. What I am not seeing is reports of the phone sleeping right away. My battery charge is fine, and I checked my settings to see if I was in low battery mode. Nope. Suuuuper buggy.

Unfortunately this isn’t seeming to work for several iPhones that have updated. Over a dozen time across multiple days and have gone through the process online to activate my account. Still get the error, and haven’t heard anything back from Apple.


going to make the hour drive to the closest Apple Store tomorrow to see if they can help.

After updating to iOS26 I noticed a problem with instagram DMs. When i click the media icon to send a photo in-chat, it no longer gives me the option to browse through my albums, it just shows the recents. I tried updating the Instagram app, but it did not solve my problem.

I came here first as I couldn’t find any information about this with iOS or IG on google.


Anyone else with this problem, or a solution?

After update as soon as I move my hand over my alarm to snooze by using the side button it turns off. I do not have attention aware turned on so it isn’t that. I don’t know if it is because the alarm is so large I’m hitting a button but if that’s the case then can we have the option to make it the original size? I never hit the screen always the side button.
