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.

Just Installed

Sorry. It took longer than it usually takes to install on my 15 Pro Max. The update was 10.5 GB.

Has the issue where VoiceOver crashes been fixed?

Yes

Yes. VoiceOVer crash issue is gone.

How about the inability to download voices easily?

Can voices be finally downloaded effortlessly in beta 5?

Hanen't Tried that yet

I haven't tried that yet. Let me check.

I Think It's Fixed

Yes. I think it is fixed. I was able to download Alex with no issues.

Public beta

Do we know if it is out?

Not yet

The public beta comes usually after 24 hours or forty-eight hours. So expect it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

same

same. When developer beta comes out usually on Tuesdays, Apple releases the public beta one day after the developer beta with the same feature set as the developer beta build, so be expecting the public beta either tomorrow or the day after.

Not able to download voices yet

I am still unable to download the Samantha enhanced voice. Also, all of my voiceover activities got completely vanished and deleted.

neither am I.

Alex still fails to download. I double tap on the voice, and it just sits there.

Has Anyone Noticed that the Volume Bug Is Fixed?

Hi all,

Has anyone noticed that the VoiceOver speech volume is fixed? I don't hear VoiceOver speak loud like other times.

Can anyone confirm this?

Re: Not able to download voices yet

Seriously! What is Apple doing with these betas? I won't grab the beta then.

Wise. They're testing…

Wise. They're testing software with a pre-release. It's not fully baked. I'm waiting until full release in September. My phone is too important to lose any functionality.

reset device

I think that there is some sort of cashing issoe with these voices and only a foll reset can fix this. At least that is what Apple Support recommended.

new bug in tab bars

When jumping into a tab bar like in Apple Mosic, it says space instead of 1 of 5 or all the other numbers. Anyone else seeing this?

Tab bars

Yeah, seeing this too. However there's a setting under verbosity now, I think it's new, to change list behaviour. If you change this to "read", the list values will be read again. I was so happy when I found this, and it fixed VO saying space after every tab title and instead went back to saying the list number, but I then noticed that VO then will announce list values for a whole number of other items too, where it hasn't been doing this before, so I had to turn it off again to not turn crazy... Might be a new feature or change that needs some more fine-tuning.
