Since a recent macOS update (around one month ago), I’ve been experiencing a random issue on my MacBook Air (2023, M2). After the device enters sleep mode and I try to wake it, sometimes the screen stays black with only the cursor visible. The issue occurs randomly — not every time — but frequently enough to impact daily use. The system becomes completely unresponsive, and the only recovery method is a forced restart (holding the power button).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Leave the MacBook idle until it enters sleep automatically.
2. Wait for 10–30+ minutes.
3. Attempt to wake it using the keyboard, trackpad, or by opening the lid.
4. Randomly, the system fails to wake properly: screen turns on, shows a black background with a movable cursor, but nothing else appears.
Expected Result:
The system wakes normally and restores to the previous desktop session.
Actual Result:
The system randomly freezes on a black screen with a visible cursor. No user interface or login prompt appears. Requires a hard restart.
System Information:
• Device: MacBook Air 13”, M2, 2023
• macOS Version: [Insert exact version, e.g., macOS Sonoma 14.5]
• Issue Since: Around one month ago (possibly after latest macOS update)
• Peripherals: [Mention any external devices if applicable]
• Reproducibility: Random (approximately 30–50% of the time after longer sleep)
Additional Notes:
• Issue is not consistent; sometimes the system wakes as expected.
• Occurs regardless of whether on battery or plugged in.
• No external monitors or USB accessories are connected when this happens.

Hello everyone, on August 31st, all the apps in my personal developer account were suddenly expired and deleted, I have not received any response from Apple. My apps are in compliance with Apple's policies. I then uploaded a new version and sent it to the review team, but I received the following error "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later."
I have contacted Apple via Email and Phone but no one cares about my problem.
Has anyone had the same situation as me, I am really worried.
Calling button flickers when making a call after updating to ios 26 beta 2 kindly solve the issue asap
m personal iPhone is managed by an Unauthorized and Unknown mdm management team, The profile isn’t showing up in VPN Settings and I can’t remove them from having Remote access and control over my Personal Device! I’ve SPENT MANY MONTHS TRYING TO GET SUPPORT VIA EMAILING APPLE DEVELOPER AND SPEAKING TO APPLE SUPPORT WHICH HAS BEEN EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING AND HUMILIATIN! I’ve resorted to contacting Internet crime websit, the federal trade commissio, Better business bureau and Consumer Affairs to file an online complaint against Apple for not complying with their Security and Privacy policy for consumers accounts!
Because of this unauthorized and unknown mdm devi management profile I don’t have COMPLETE CONTROL OVER MY OWN IPHONE!

Hello everyone,
I’m having an issue with the Photos app on my iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26 Beta 2 (happened in first Beta as well). When I open the Photos app and go to the Collections section, it’s completely blank — no photos, just empty space.
The library seems to be working fine and my photos show up in the Library. I’ve tried restarting the phone and force-quitting the app, but no change.
Could it be a bug?
Also, I just switched from Android to IOS, one week ago, if this detail helps. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any fixes or suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

After installing iOS 26 Developer Beta on my iPhone 13 mini, I encountered a critical battery issue. The battery percentage was stuck at 1%, and the phone could only be used while continuously plugged in.
Despite the low reading, the device remained fully functional — I could use apps, navigate, and perform tasks normally. However, the battery indicator never rose above 1%, and the Battery Health section in Settings showed 0% Maximum Capacity, which is inaccurate.
I did not allow the phone to fully discharge, out of fear that it might not turn back on. Restarting the phone and changing cables or chargers had no effect. After restoring the device to iOS 18.7.2 using DFU mode, the issue disappeared entirely — the battery percentage behaved normally again and the health section showed the correct value (about 100%).
Observed behavior:
• Battery percentage frozen at 1%
• Maximum Capacity reported as 0%
• Device only functional while connected to power
• Issue resolved immediately after restoring to iOS 18
Temporary solution:
A DFU restore to iOS 18 (18.5 22F76) immediately resolved the issue. The battery percentage and health readings returned to normal.
Additional information:
• Charger used: Official Apple 20W USB-C charger
• Cable used: Apple USB-C to Lightning cable
• Battery health after restore: 100% (replaced)
Latest ios cannot perform screenshot
I’ve updated to iOS 26 Beta 1, and now I can’t revert to an earlier version because my iPhone automatically created a backup using the iOS 26 version. I’m also unable to check for updates—my device can’t retrieve information from the server, so it’s not detecting that Beta 2 is available. I need help resolving this issue, please.

After i install ios 26 i can’t go back to other videos after i comment on tiktok videos
Exercise caution applying Beta 2 on a Hermes Apple Watch. A number of anecdotes (including my own) that this causes very rapid battery drain, i.e. minutes, followed by a cycle of lower power mode, and very slow charge as battery drain seems as fast as charge so it tops out in low single digit %. Any interaction seems to cause the cycle to recur, rendering the watch in effect unusable. The connection to the phone is also broken, with the Watch app crashing after 1–2 seconds, 100% repeatably.
This post is to caution avoidance, but a fix is going to be problematic if the watch can't get anywhere near 50% charge.
The "anecdata" that this is widespread specifically with Hermes watches is:

Hello guys,
We have updated our app icon, and it is correctly reflected in our app build and assets. However, the push notification icon is still displaying the old version for some users.
✅ We have verified that:
All icon assets in Assets.xcassets match the new icon.
The app icon has been updated in Info.plist.
The app has been resubmitted and approved on the App Store.
❌ However, some users still see the old notification icon, even after reinstalling the app. Restarting the device does not always resolve the issue.
Could you provide insights into how iOS caches notification icons and how we can force a refresh for all users?
With iOS 26.0 (23A5276f) I can’t make calls via Bluetooth on any device. Any workaround?

Hi all,
First time poster :)
I am interested to understand if it is possible to set a notification alert within an application.
I am building an application on internet connectivity health but want users to be able to choose a time when the notification is audible or silent. (appreciate you can set the device to a status where notifications are silenced)
Within the application if they choose to be alerted to critical alerts, I would like them to be able to choose a time period when the alerts should be silent or when they should be audible. Who wants alert on your internet at 2am when Maintenace windows open up?
Cheers
Dan
I've got the initial WWDC beta of macOS 26 (25A5279m) installed inside a virtual machine (UTM), but can't seem to update to the second beta. Nothing is showing up within Software Update.
Is this because it's within a VM, or am I doing something wrong?
It'd be a real pain to have to install a new VM afresh with the RestoreImage for every update.
I’ve encountered a critical issue in macOS Tahoe (Beta) that affects the Photos app or any app that leverages Apple’s editing frameworks. After editing certain photos—whether applying filters, cropping, or making basic adjustments—the image suddenly turns completely black upon saving or exiting the edit mode.
Details:
macOS Version: macOS Tahoe (latest beta)
Affected App(s): Photos, Preview, and some third-party editing apps
Steps to Reproduce:
Open a photo in the Photos app
Make any basic edit (e.g., crop, adjust brightness)
Click “Done”
The edited photo appears entirely black
Notes:
Happens with both JPEG and HEIC formats
Original photo appears fine before editing
Exporting the photo also results in a black image
Restarting the app/system does not resolve the issue
iCloud Photos is enabled
This issue seems related to the image rendering pipeline post-editing, possibly tied to Core Image or GPU rendering frameworks. It severely affects photo usability and could result in permanent data loss if backups are not maintained.
Please advise if a workaround exists or if this bug has been logged already. Happy to provide system logs or sample images if needed.

I have an iPhone 14 running iOS 26 Beta 2 that I wanted to start using Personal Voice on. It allowed me to complete the recordings and start the process, however even with the phone charging and locked the process hangs.
It is connected to WiFi and cellular while attempting to run. It is connected to a 20W apple charger with an offical cable. I have a sneaking feeling it's related to me running the iOS beta on this device. I've provided some info below.
iOS 26 Beta 2
iPhone 14 128gb
Model MPUF3ZD/A
No SIM restrictions
