Hi all, It’s a new year, and the betas are out, but one thing I have noticed with this build is how much lag is everywhere. It’s one of my main issues with the current state of iOS 26 and the question I bear is ‘What is Apple going to do to make their software less laggy?’. I get how Liquid Glass is a rendering intensive material, but I don’t think normal users could handle the amount of lag happily.

Currently, it seems Apple uses something to detect colors in app icons and make them look good in dark mode, but for apps like Subway Surfers, that doesn’t happen, and why would they change the icon? So, behold! My fix to this problem: There should be some color picker and changer in xcode to change the colors on your app icon for dark mode. This would help a lot for apps like CARROT weather where the image just doesn’t look right when it has a dark tint. This would make the app seem presentable in dark mode and light mode.

Hello, I’m an aspiring full stack dev and I’m just wondering how the heck you get good UI AND UX. I’m currently moodboarding and seeing how things look in FigJam and then taking that and coding in Swift. I am struggling and my sanity is hanging on by a string 😂. So tell me, how do you get good UI and UX?

I have recently noticed that ever since I downloaded iOS 18 Public Beta 1, I have been unable to get to the screen time settings, after clicking the tab, the app just freezes. Although after a while I did get to the Screen Time tab, but all of the previous changes to my screen time were voided. App limits, Downtime, you name it, all gone. While my app limits do not work, I noticed that downtime still functioned, but when my parent changed the downtime settings on their phone (running iOS 17 no betas), it did nothing on my end. I am currently submitting feedback to apple and am trying to find workarounds. On an unrelated note to this issue, I noticed that “One More Minute” and “Request More Time” aren‘t there anymore, does anybody have any ideas or workarounds on any of these?
