Hot phone

For the last week or two using Tailscale makes my phone extremely hot and the screen dims. iOS 26 iPhone 16 Pro.

Great app!

Excellent app! Works really well till it decides to auth you on low speed LTE connection. What!!!?? Really!!??? Thatโ€™s the reason for the single star. I will change this to 5 star as soon as they change that

canyouspeakchinese

Can you write a simplified Chinese or traditional Chinese because people born in Taiwan can't understand English๐Ÿ˜ญ

Perfectly working with Starlink

I highly recommend tailscale ZTNA for Starlink Satellite Network

Great, but Apple TV needs love

I love that this works on Apple TV. Seriously, it is fantastic. Well, not fantastic, as after the recent update all of my nodes were automatically turned off. This is a big problem when the Apple TV Is at a remote location.

Apple TV app problem

Much slower than other platforms

strange

A trivial app for configuring Tailscale VPN. Unfortunately, it consumes more than 10% in background on my iphone 15 pro. Even if you chose no background activity! To be checked for and fixed.

Unable to login

I am unable to login to my account, the Login button just brings up the welcome cards that prompt me to install the vpn again. Stuck in this loop and unable to use the app. I was also stuck before on not being able to ReAuthenticate as that button doesnโ€™t bring up anything its just a dummy button. iPadOS 26 and 27 Tested

High battery usage

Tailscale uses too much battery. The battery drain is noticeably high

Broken app

it just keeps opening the welcome sheet, over and over again. i cannot sign in or use the app in any way. fundamentally broken.

Canโ€™t log in

It just loops between the onboarding flow and the โ€˜connectingโ€™ screen. Settings log in just takes to the same 4-page onboarding flow with no sign in.

Login flow is broken

Iโ€™m trying to install this on my ipad and anytime I go to add an account it restarts the onboarding flow.

Awesome!!

Thx!!!

Works great

Works great for my use.

Battery issues have returned with a vengeance

Tailscale is incredible and I love it, but battery issues are a chronic problem on iOS - even without an exit node activated. Overnight, with nothing but TS running, my battery was drained over 70%. Hoping to get some TLC on this issue as it makes the service nearly unusable.

Nice

Tailscale is by far the most convenient solution for meshing devices together. It would be great if it could hide the topโ€‘bar VPN icon just like Shadowrocket does.
