iOS 26.1 beta has released

I'm experiencing this exact bug on iOS 26.1 beta with VoiceOver and it makes the Bookmarks completely inaccessible.
Here are my specific steps and the issue:
1.
I go into Bookmarks (via the "More" button).
2.
I swipe to a folder (Heading) like my Favorites. VoiceOver does not read the folder's name; it only reads the number of items inside (e.g., "2").
3.
When I double-tap on that numerical, the individual bookmarks are displayed, but they are announced as unlabeled "Button" elements.
The issue isn't just about the folder name missing; once inside the folder, the actual saved links are not labeled either.

Looks like they broke the bookmarks in Safari with this beta. Because there's no issues on iOS 26.0. Even my old iPhone SE 2020 back up device has no issues with Safari bookmarks, again on iOS 26.0.

yes! please report it!

Ok just installed public beta 2 for iOS26.1 and now in the native weather app VO does something very odd. If you swipe as normal VO announces the hourly forecast as normal. However, before this update keep swiping and VO then gets to the next 10 days. Now for me it circles round and reads the hourly times again for 3 times. On the fourth go round it finally continues into the daily forecasts. Very odd.

Is it always the weather app that gets gimped during beta cycles and system updates? ☹️

First, Brian oddly I had the exact thought regarding the weather app. Always seems to take the brunt poor thing. Anyway, For me iPhone 15 pro PB2 has not fixed Notifications cutting out on the locked screen. Face Id is still not giving any indication it is working and Still can only increase VO speech rate by 5% incraments. So basically, nothing has changed at all apart from the weather app so getting worse lol.

No issues with it, however I have turn on face ID for email. The normal sound that face ID does, it does not do so for it. The only way I can tell face ID works if open the mail app. This was no issue on 18.6.1.

@Holger exactly no sound so no way of telling face id is working. However, for info after the update today the accessibility shortcut turns itself off. Tried to turn VO off and it wouldn't work with the tripple click. Checked in settings and found accessibility shortcut had turned off. Had to reassign VO. Works as expected again now.

Found something interesting that affected my 16 pro max and iOS 26.01. On setting, accessibility, keyboard and typing and typing feedback. it was on for letters, pronouncing letters and word. Turn them off. I am no longer having issues with VO not pronouncing letters and is fast and responsive. Suggest people check their settings. iOS 26 turn some things on and others off. Nuts. Long live cats.

Didn't this very thing happen with iOS 18.0? I swear that's what happened to me, updating from iOS 17.X to iOS 18.0.

Yeah, that is nuts.

Yes, it is nuts. Also the notification for news got turn off several times, unless Bella did it from heaven. Now I just wish apple fix notification before the 2030year. Long live cats.

Hi. I installed iOS 26.1 beta 2, and there's a bug in the Control Center. When I double-tap on "More Controls," the Control Center disappears. I have reported this through feedback. Please test it yourselves, and if you find an issue, report it.

A lot was fixed in the latest iOS release but the bug with typing is still there. Sometimes double-tapping on a letter does not confirm it with voiceover. So you have to read it back to be sure everything is correct.

Yes. Long live cats and German Shepherd guides!

Check under setting, accessibility, keyboard and typing, typing feedback, see if letters, pronouncing letters and words are off. If some are on, turn it off. This help me.

Forgot to say, Long live cats.

Thanks, Holger. I'll check the settings.
