I recently updated to tvOS 26 on my Apple TV 4K (1st generation) and was disappointed to find that apps I restrict no longer appear at all. In earlier versions, restricted apps would still be visible and simply prompt for a passcode — this was much more convenient for adults in the household.
Now, if I restrict apps for my children, they disappear completely. To use them again, I have to go deep into settings, turn restrictions off, and even recreate the passcode each time, which is frustrating and impractical for daily use.
I also tried adding a Kids user account, but most restrictions still apply system-wide. Only the Apple TV app behaves differently between users. This makes switching between parent and child accounts nearly pointless for managing access.
Please consider one or both of the following:
1. Bring back the passcode-on-launch behavior for restricted apps (instead of hiding them).
2. Give each user their own isolated settings environment, like how profiles work on iOS/iPadOS or even a fresh Apple TV—this way, restrictions, home screen, and app access could be personalized.
Families are a huge part of the Apple TV audience, and these recent changes have made it much harder to use the device in a shared household.
Thank you!
I paid for my developer account on the 13th of June 2024 (1 week ago). My ID was approved.
However, I still don't have access to the account.
When I go to check the status of it, it is asking me to pay again.
I then tried to email the team, however only received useless, timewasting responses, such as "Please go to developer.apple.com/enroll to enroll for an apple dev account", which I already told them prompts me to pay again and verify my ID again.
I then tried to call them, and they said they had to re-verify my ID and would call me back in 10 mins, but I never received a call back.
I also couldn't call them again because it wouldn't let me request another call from them. I then emailed them, but still haven't received a response.
The next day I tried to request another call from them, during their opening hours at Thursday 4pm AEST, (they are open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm AEST see https://developer.apple.com/support/worldwide-telephone-hours/) however it still says that "Phone support is currently unavailable".
I tried to email them but now I am getting no responses at all.
I tried to contact the apple support through the iMessage chat, however I was only put on call with a lady who was helpful, but couldn't even do anything as she was only generic support. She couldn't even schedule me a call or transfer me to the developer team, even though it was within their working and calling/support hours.
I have tried to refund my developer account, but apparently that purchase is "illegible for a refund".
This is the treatment I get from apple for paying $100 USD.
An entire week of being left on blank.
I don't know what to do. I paid 100 bucks for an account which I can't even use, and the support hasn't helped me for an entire week. My emails being left on blank, and I can't even call them.
If anyone from apple or anyone that could help me sees this, please contact me ASAP at makrypodisc@ hotmail.com or reply to this thread.
Thank you.

Hello,
I found an issue with the Games app on macOS 26 (Tahoe) when viewing achievements:
In App Store Connect, each achievement has different values set for the pre-earned description and the post-earned description.
When testing with GameKit directly (GKAchievementDescription), both values are returned correctly.
However, in the macOS Games app, the post-earned description is shown even before the achievement is earned.
This seems to be a display issue specific to the Games app on macOS.
Could you confirm if this is a known bug in the Games app, or if there is a reason why pre-earned descriptions are not being shown?
Thank you.
OS
macOS 15.4.1
What steps will reproduce the problem?
(0) Make sure you have other third-party browsers on your computer, and that their names start with a letter before "M", for me it is Arc browser.
(1) Install a previous version of Edge Mac Canary (it can be downloaded from official web site:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/download/insider?cc=1&cs=426423789&form=MA13FJ). If you don't have an older version, you can download and save the current version, and then try the below steps after a day or two.
(2) Eject the DMG from the Finder Sidebar.
(3) Switch to the System Settings panel, set the "Default web browser" as Edge Mac Canary just installed.
(4) Click a URL link from Notes, it will open in Edge Mac Canary.
(5) Navigate to "Settings"->"About Microsoft Edge" in Edge and wait for the update information to show that update is complete (it will auto update to the latest version).
(6) Check current result of "Default web browser" in System Settings again.
What is the expected result?
The "Default web browser" should still be Edge Canary.
What happens instead?
The "Default web browser" in System Settings will change to Arc. But this time, when you click the link from Notes, it will open in Safari, which means that "Default web browser is shown as Arc, but it is actually Safari.
It is worth noting that if you start Edge Mac in step (3) and then set it as Default Browser in the "edge://settings/defaultBrowser" page, this problem will not occur after the update is completed.
Chrome Mac has the same issue.

Hi Ed Ford,
thank you for your response. I tried to reply directly in the forum with the requested output,
but I keep receiving an error message ("Your post couldn’t be saved. Please try again in a few minutes.").
It seems I cannot currently post a follow-up reply.
Just to notify you: I ran the command you suggested, but my shell reports
zsh: command not found: devicectl.
Thank you!

so far the only issue I’m having since the update yesterday is my Bluetooth. Every time I try to use my Bluetooth headphones since the update, they either just stop working midway through playing a song or watching a video, etc., or they play a super high pitched noise that causes me to have to rip my headphones out of my ears.
I read that 18.4 beta allows to changes default payment, default navigation, default translation etc app.
Now I have the question will these changes come to Switzerland? Can someone with the beta confirm it?
I'm asking because as example my GF iPhone doesn't allow her to install an alternative store (epic games store), because she isn't in the EU, but she can delete all Apple Apps including the Apple Store according to the DMA / EU law.
So, are these changes coming?

In iOS 26 the pitch of the sound of the keyboard clicks changes when you type faster. And the haptics have a more buttery feeling to them. Is this a bug and will be fixed. Or is this a new feature ?

Hi ,
since I've been trying out this latest beta, my battery life has dropped dramatically. I have an iPhone 16 Pro. It doesn't last until the evening. I didn't have any problems with version 4 before.
Thanks
We plan to use signals emitted from iBeacon to perform region detection in an app currently under development.
We would like to know if region detection (didEnterRegion) can be performed when the app is in certain states.
Region detection must be performed reliably.
Is it possible to perform region detection in all of the following situations?
• When the app is in the foreground
• When the app is in the background
• When the app is force-closed
• When the smartphone is in sleep mode
• When the smartphone is restarted

I Downloaded new beta 7 iOS 26 update and i have issues with my iPhone 15 pro
This is purely speculation (but I have reason to believe it is the case) because I'm trying to narrow it down but, has anyone reported CarPlay in iOS 26 Beta potentially crashing vehicle infotainment systems?
I have a 2025 Jeep Wrangler which is running UConnect 5.
I can't prove it is the case but since updating to IOS 26 PB, I've been noticing that my infotainment system in my vehicle has been freezing, locking up, and resetting upon boot. I can't narrow this down to the phone causing it, but I can't rule it out as of now. I know that most of our infotainment units that offer CarPlay are typically running off Android, but is there a possibility that the iOS Beta is crashing our infotainment units upon connection?
Again, I am just posting this to see if a) anyone can confirm that yes CarPlay can crash the Android backend of infotainment units or b) if anyone has experienced odd issues with CarPlay and their vehicle's infotainment system either freezing, crashing, or rebooting since installing iOS Beta 26.
It happens when the iPhone is connected wirelessly via CarPlay, and I believe also when it is connected wired via CarPlay.
The camera/microphone usage light comes on whenever I switch apps. The only thing it shows when I try to see what app is accessing the camera or microphone is What it’s accessin: Camera and the app that is accessing Camera is the Camera app… shouldn’t it show the process or app that is using the Camera app to access the camera?
Hi all, I’m trying to add a file to a game on my iPhone via my MacBook. Now we have no iTunes connecting with the cable brings up the same menus however I’m being told I have to reset my iPhone back to factory settings to do this (see attached). I’m on IOS26 beta 6. A couple of questions
I’ve backed up via iCloud, if I reset would I be able to reset it right back to my current set up with the beta, would I lose anything?
Is there another way to connect to my
MacBook to enable access to the games and files that would allow me to do a minor change without having to reset?
Hi!
About a month ago (somewhere around the release of iOS 18.4.1 and MacOS 15.4.1) I started having issues with the iPhone Mirroring app, saying that it's unable to connect to iPhone, although it worked seamlessly before.
In error console log I see this chain of events:
error 19:00:51.054054+0200 iPhone Mirroring unable to get entitlements for client task. Error: nil
error 19:00:51.054074+0200 iPhone Mirroring AppleEvent sender is not entitled
error 19:00:51.098453+0200 iPhone Mirroring Tearing down the session due to: noCompatiblePhone
error 19:00:51.139329+0200 iPhone Mirroring CAML error:727: No such class `LKEventHandler'
error 19:00:51.139342+0200 iPhone Mirroring CAML error:727: Unknown value element `LKEventHandler'
error 19:00:51.139349+0200 iPhone Mirroring CAML error:727: `o' element must have `type' attribute
I tried literally every solution I could find, including deleting all possible preferences, but to no avail.
It also might be worth mentioning that since these issues started, I can't AirPlay from my iPhone to my Mac unless I switch the "Allow Airplay for" option to either "Anyone on the same network" or "Everyone".
Can anyone tell me if this may be something connected to those latest updates, or is there anything else I can try on my end?
Thanks in advance!
