Apple Beta Releases
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.

I think voiceover is fixed in terms of volume and sound
Would be useful to have others confirm this, but voiceover to me sounds normal again?
sounds better with every beta
Either it sounds better with each release or we're all just experiencing some sort of placebo effect. In all seriousness though since beta 5 it sounds much better and fuller than before, I don't mind the lack of bass anyway.
siri voices
I'll install the next public beta once it's out, but curious if Siri voices have been fixed. When I set my VoiceOver voice to Siri voice 4, for example, even at 75 percent, I find it very slow and have to crank it up to 100. I tried switching it to faster in the voice presets, but I don't like the way it sounds.
VoiceOver bass
As of this update, it sounds to me like it has more bass? I may be wrong, and honestly its been months since I last used 26, so I can't fully remember it haha
It’s better indeed
Sounds better to me as well—nice to see that they’re paying attention to us somewhat.
beta 7
A lot of the chopppiness I experienced in previous betas appears to be fixed. as for siri voices, they're still slower than expected.
Beta 5
I'm still not seeing it. I go to software updates and it still says my software is up to date. This happened last week, too. Is it normal for the public beta to not come out at the same time?
Developer versus public beta
Hi Joe, they’re not the same. The developer is for the primary developers to look at and review the public beta usually comes out about a week later maybe a little less.
Thank you very much.
You've put my mind at rest. I didn't know if I was doing something wrong or not.
Public beta five is now out!
Hi guys,
I just checked Mac rumors and public beta five is now out!
re: siri voices
Is this a bug, or is this just how the Siri voices are working now?
Re: Public beta 5
My phone still says my software is up to date. That shouldn't be happening if the beta is out, should it?
Restart phone and then run the update again
Restart the phone and then run update again.
Notification
Well After updating to public beta 5, got the message about the update and I flick up to clear the notification did not disappear, it took several seconds. I had to slide all the way left to make it go away. Since this is letter A as apple the RC should be be out next week, Hope it will not take 1 year to fix like VO and notification not reading them. Nuts.
Re: notifications
I haven't been having this problem. Hope it gets fixed for you in the next update.
