What is not functioning for you with iOS 26.5?

I think they mean the phone being semi functional because it’s back on a beta build.

Well, time to have a semi-functional phone again...

iOS 26.5 has been working fine for myself, family, friends and co-workers. You should contact Apple if your phone is not functional.

i would really love some incredibly basic usability features in a future IOS since we are so many generations deep:

* a real manual EQ that works in any app and also remembers individual settings for each audio output device.
* an option to have a button to skip music tracks directly in the map app, rather than having to fumble around
* swipe left or right to skip tracks on the lock screen rather than have to carefully press the small buttons
* the ability to have a shortcut to turn off the screen immediately, like you can with a back tap, instead of only going to the lock screen first, or even better a swipe down directly from the upper left corner to lock the screen - instead of having to pick it up to hit the side button when it is on a table or docked
* a mono toggle for control center (right now i have to use a shortcut, but it will not show the current state by highlighting the button like a real one would)
* a real firewall so i can actually block ip addresses that the app privacy report generates. right now it will show you random IPs or URLs but you can't do anything about it other than delete the app
* ability to restrict app access to wifi like you can with mobile data
* the ability to select whatever charge level you wish or just pass through charging (please let the older devices do this too. There was a jailbreak tweak that allowed this going back to at least the iphone 5, so you don't need special hardware or AI...LOL. It's built in to the battery charge controller since forever.) This is useful particularly when on a wireless car charger and doing navigation - i don't need it to always charge and get incredibly hot, i just want it to pass through the power it needs from the charger.

It asks for at least 19.43 GB of available storage...

Not sure how many time we need to explain how these updates are working, especially with a beta.
Really tired of this :)
