Your Feedback is Important to Improving Accessibility on Apple platforms

Don't assume that Apple is aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference - submitting bug reports directly to the company helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. Your report may provide crucial information. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority they give to fixing the bug.

If you're using a beta version, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you're using a public release, follow the instructions on this page.

Subject says it all. Messages notifications now work as well as when you receive an incoming call from either the phone app or FaceTime app. Previous beta only your Mac would ring but not the phone. Now it works as normal again. thanks apple for resolving it quickly. lets keep sending feedback.

So in Beta 2, when you tried adjusting the volume of audio, when Audio Ducking was enabled, the media volume would not work. But now in Beta three, it works now.

in the ferocity section of VoiceOver, there is now a new section to manage and delete custom labels. You can also finally change the list position announcements.

I have noticed there is now more of a delay for an accessibility hint, if there is one. For example, on a Text field, there is now a lot of a delay before it says Text field double tap to edit.

in some apps that have not been designed with accessibility, you can double tap, and hold with two fingers to label something that’s not accessible. This has been a feature for years. There is just not been a feature until now where you can actually delete those labels. For example, let’s say that you have an app that has an unlabeled play button. If you double tap and hold with two fingers on that button, you can label it to say play. However, if you want to delete that label. After updating iOS 26, you will be able to do that.
