Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

Hi.

I finally got round to installing on a separate volume on my 2022 Macbook Air, and so far so good! Are there issues? There sure are but they will be worked out I'm confident of that! But nothing showstopping at this stage which is impressive for a first developer beta. The features I've tried so far are great, for example the Braille Keyboard Input, enabled with vo-y, which appears to be a full port of the iOS/ipadOS version. The whole experience feels very responsive indeed, again impressive for a first developer beta. Still figuring it out at the moment so no feedback sent so far; may wait for beta 2 before I look into that, as I did discover you can't customize the voice for announcing the time, for example; the button simply does nothing when clicked. I see the new screen sharing category in VoiceOver Utility which has huge potential.

Those are my thoughts. Let me know yours.

Hi,

it's an error. Hopefully it'll get resolved in secont beta build.

No and I don't even think sighted people can. The screen sharing app is specifically from mac to mac.

Hi, beta two is out. Unfortunately eloquence community dictionary is still broken, but it's been fixed in iOS 26 beta 2.
