Apple has also turned on the ability to schedule and purchase labs through Quest Diagnostics from the new Health app in iOS 27.2 beta.

iCloud storage notification glitch puts unremovable red badge on Settings app [U: Fixed]

Update, September 23: Apple says this has been fixed for all users. Original story below.


There’s an annoying little iPhone notification glitch impacting some users on iOS 27. For those affected, the Settings app gets a red badge prompting an alert to ‘Activate iCloud Storage’.

However, tapping on this alert simply navigates to the iCloud storage purchase screen and the alert does not go away after dismissing it. This glitched notification appears even when the user has plenty of available iCloud storage already, like if they are on a 2 TB family Apple One plan.

Last week, Apple officially released iOS 27 to everyone. The update comes with many new security features, which is nice given how lackluster iOS 26 was in that area. However, there’s one new anti-scam feature in particular that targets an area Apple has never explored before and could eventually be massively beneficial to users. The feature is called Impersonation Risk Detection.

All in all, it’s meant to catch users in the middle of a scam.
