Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

The only annoying bugs I have is VoiceOver basically jumbling over and when it comes to words and the fact I can’t use any of the editing actions any more.

amazing! now beta updates will be faster, and thus users don't have to wait a week later to install future beta versions. Hoping apple will fix those bugs in the second beta whenever it becomes available.

I am updated to the latest version of iOS 16, but the beta update menu isn’t showing, I think it’s because I accidentally turned it off. Now it won’t show up again. I tried resetting my phone and re-launching settings about four times. I don’t know how to fix it.
