iOS 26 developer beta has just been out for a while, which gives people the opportunity to dive into the software and detect everything that is new. Because, as happens every year, Apple can only tell us during the WWDC.
Liquid glass can be the biggest visual change, but there is more than the re -design at iOS 26. Other things are hiding here, and the more people spend with the son, the more they appear to be naked.
Although we should also include that this developer is a son, and is not fully representative of the last form of iOS 26 later this year, iOS 26 beta has 11 hidden features that you should know about.

Apple may not have to keep the effects of transparent and blurred in the new liquid glass design, but if you don’t want you to keep them around. IOS 18 don’t go back to the old design, but you can make things a bit more vague.
Just go to the settings app, then select Leak> Display and Text size And hit Reduce transparency The option will maintain the feature of all icons and folders in iOS 26, but things will be slightly more solid.
A period of customs snails
If you are a great fan of snoring your alarms in the morning, you will be very familiar with a 9 -minute limit. Pre -iOS 26 Your alarm will be snapped for 9 minutes, not much, not less. But with iOS 26 beta, every alarm has a period of your customized snacks that provide you with more control.
The duration is customized anywhere for 1 to 15 minutes, and it seems that you tap the alarm and choose The duration of the snounds The order is ideal for those of you who either wanted the extension period of snips, or just want to help stay away from refusing to wake up in the morning. Because if your assumptions end after 60 seconds, then it is difficult to sleep.
Battery drain warnings

Battery life is scarce, because some things require more strength than others. The problem is that it can be difficult to tell what those things are as long as it is too late, and your battery has become so low that you will not be the rest of the day. Thankfully, it seems that the iOS 26 is changing it, which has a new battery drain warning.
It seems that all battery settings have a correction in iOS 26 beta, which has additional information and battery health new graphics. But importantly the software will also tell you that when your battery looks very fast, and which app is due to it. If you didn’t realize that the abusive app was a battery hog, especially if everything was happening in the background.
Place your audio in your headphone

There is nothing worse than the new Bluetooth devices that immediately change your audio feed and take it immediately – especially when you’re starting your car. This happens all the time when you are in the middle of a phone call, and get the short window of strangeness where the other person’s voice goes out of your speaker and cannot hear a word you are saying.
iOS 26 comes with a feature that will stop this event, as long as you change it first. Then go to the settings General> Airplay and continuity And tap Place the audio in the headphone. In this way, everything will stop connecting the auto to new devices, and will remain where you expect it.
A gesture of bookmarking
IOS 26 has a new feature that makes it very easy to book specific pages in the safari browser. No more stirring with multiple screens and menu. Just tap the three dot menu at the bottom of the screen, and the bookmarking options menu will appear.
Focus methods for different SIM cards

A good number of your phone will have a second SIM card or ESIM, instead of having a-alga phone for some kind of work or non-personal number. But when you are not really working, it can be difficult to get off and disconnect. Or vice versa.
Thankfully, iOS 26 changes this, which has a new upgrade of focus format that allows you to apply focus methods to specific Sims in your phone. Using the example of a workphone, this basically means that when you are away from the watch, you can silence a work number, and prevent your personal number from interfering with work hours.
Adaptive strength
If your phone is deliberately using a lot of power, for any reason, there is a feature that can help. Inclusive power is designed to help extend the battery life in these situations, tweet settings and performance to try to increase your strength as far as possible.
According to the layout description, it may include reducing the brightness or slowing down some apps – meaning that it may take longer to work. But, in this process, it means that they will use less power and allow this energy to be used elsewhere.
The rest of the charging time estimate

One of the features that has been on Android phones for years has told iOS 26 that iPhone tells users how long it will take to completely charge their phone. In the Great Scheme of Things, this is a very easy feature, but it is one that has many practical use.
With the eyes of things, it will also tell you how much time you have to reach the range of seat charging, not just 100 %. Not only does this mean that you can see that unless your phone eliminates charging session, it can give you how fast it is charging.
Dirty lenses warnings
A dirty lens can ruin a perfectly good picture, which you don’t want to do on any picture – especially if it is sensitive. iOS 26 can recognize it and you can warn you that the camera needs cleaning with a small gesture on the screen.
You can ignore it with the eyes of things, and the size of the warning does not look like the photo will be drawn. But this is an easy feature, especially if you like to use your camera regularly.
Find your apple purse

At this point, I suspect your apple purse is very full. Which is not ideal if you are looking for specific cards or passes there. So find the new search feature of iOS 26 that you are looking for quickly, whether it be a credit card, a ticket, digital car keys or your identity.
HDR screenshots
If you want to capture some additional dynamic range in your screenshots and screen recording, iOS 26 can allow this to happen. Once all your screenshots will be stored in the hef format while the screen recording will be in the HEVC Kodak – these are the same as the images and videos caught by the iPhone camera.
