IOS 26 Beta - Anyone try it yet?

[FloridaMan655321]

I’m tempted to give it a try as I don’t have anything coming up that is important. But as I’m updating my iPad first to test, I’m curious if anyone has tried their phone and used CarPlay yet?

I probably will in a few days once I see reports if there’s any major issues. From initial reports I’ve seen there’s only lagginess on older phones. I only have my main phone and a work phone, so I don’t want to screw too much up.

I have it. iphone 16 pro max. FordPass 5.21.0

Been using for roughly 1.5 hours. No bugs yet. Carplay works fine thus far. The visual changes (mostly the liquidglass effects) carry over to Carplay.

Haven't used any of the other notable features yet, but overall it's been less buggy then the first betas of 17 and 18 this early in the game.

And those versions were less buggy than 15, 14, 13, etc..etc.. Apple does seem to be doing a better job with their beta’s. I’m downloading it now, so we will see

Can’t tell you how happy this makes me. Finally. Arrival time+time remaining +distance left+SOC on arrival.

I had to restart the phone after changing some widgets, but my alarm clock went off and that is most important. CarPlay seems to work fine this morning. So far so good in the less than 24 hours of testing.

CarPlay connected this morning with my VPN on. That was a nice surprise. Before it wouldn't work and I'd have to turn it off, disconnect and reconnect it.

Used it last night. It's good. Makes very good use of the large screen space.

Doesn't seem like they have improved the EV experience with Maps, which is disappointing.

Some low hanging fruit would be, to pull the current charge status from FordPass for accurate route planning.

Really enjoying the way CarPlay uses the screen. The smaller sized icons and text take full advantage of the screen now
