Show me your iOS/macOS/watchOS bugs (part 2)

48 upvotes 35 comments
I got some [excellent feedback](https://lemmy.world/post/27595761) from y'all last year, so let's do round 2!

----
A bit about me: I’m an Apple software QA engineer (yes, we exist) and I’d love to hear about bugs you’ve encountered. I can create bug reports internally (aka radars) and/or bother the right teams/people to get issues fixed. To be clear this is not official company business, thoughts/opinions are my own, and I’m doing this in my free time to keep Lemmy awesome and because I love you guys.

Alt/throwaway account for obvious reasons.

## IMPORTANT PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING:
* **iOS/iPadOS, macOS, & watchOS** issues only. Please ensure that you are running latest public release (`26.4.1`) or latest beta (as of today that's `26.5 beta 3`).
* Please provide **detailed step-by-step instructions** on how to reproduce the bug. Vague reports such as "_battery life bad_" or "_UI laggy_" are not helpful. So yes, that means you should [ELI5](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ELI5). If I don't have enough info from you, then there's a good chance I won't be able to reproduce it on my test devices which in turn means I can’t report it.
* Provide hardware details in your report (i.e. model, year, device specs)

### Things I can't help with:
* general UI/UX complaints, use the [feedback form](https://www.apple.com/feedback/) for that.
* 3rd party (non-Apple) accessories, hardware, or software. This includes monitors, keyboards/mice, thunderbolt docks, cameras, etc.
* Issues that only appear *sometimes* or *randomly*. If it can't be reproduced consistently, then it probably can't be reported. Unfortunately I can't just tell the devs I saw a ghost 👻

### General Disclaimer
I can’t guarantee that anything I report will be fixed and due to the nature of how we work I won’t be able to share status updates, but I’ll certainly try my best to shuffle things along internally.

Please don’t ask about upcoming hardware/software. Whatever it is, I have no idea what you’re talking about and no, it doesn’t exist.

Thanks and looking forward to hearing about what's been bugging you 🐛
