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.

17.48 GB!

That’s bigger than some macOS installers! The macOS Sequoia installer was around 15 GB.

Yes, definitely bigger than macos at this point.

It was 13 gb here on my iPhone 16 Pro. Pretty darn good size.

so after an 8 gb download personal voice still not working? what else is supposed to have changed?

The only observable changes relate to new additional languages for live translation of messages. Also, for sighted users there is a liquid glass redisign for the phone keypad.
