We have passed half a way to August, which means that we are less than a month from Apple’s annual iPhone event. In addition to announcing its latest iPhone 17 lineup, the company will also give us an official date to download the iOS 26. When we wait to find out, you can download and install the newly released Public Beta (or IOS 26 Developer Beta 6) for developers. I’ve been playing with it for the past two weeks, and I have found that it is better to take screenshots in the new operating system. For example, Google and Chat GPT are in search options screenshots editor. In our preview of the iOS 26 Public Beta Release, you can see another complete view of the new features, which is re -designed to the fresh home and lock screen. The liquid glass is called, the new prophet shape will expand all the operating system of Apple. Over Hall is one of the many major changes in the iOS, Macos, iPados and Apple’s rest of the Apple, all of which were shown during the company’s WWDC key note on June 9.
After more promoting AI’s projects last year, Apple focused more on the basic standard of life improvement this year to the iOS Roadmap this year. There are numerous useful additions to your iPhone on phone and messages apps, for example: Apple presented the ability to eliminate spam texts or other unknown seals and the ability to hold your place on the phone call when you are waiting for a representative. In addition, a valuable feature we took is returning (gesture: it’s in the photo app).
In the meantime, Siri is a holding manner. Apple has earlier made it clear that its smart voice assistant – was previously promised in WWDC 2024 – “in the coming year” is some delay, so you should not expect any major change in the current son. But there are reports that Apple aims to give Siri a big brain transplant by setting up on third -party artificial intelligence models such as the openness of the openness or the Entropic Claude, which can make 2026 an important year. The company is also allegedly working on the ‘Stripid Downtown’ AI Chatboat for Chattagat’s rivals.
With each son, it seems that extra new improvement is populated, as we are all interested in like this new airpodes indicators, and this fee time feature that will freeze your video if it detects the nude. With the release of iOS 26 developer beta 5, we saw more additional features, such as on the passcode screen and like a new bonne animation in the control center, Macrovers Reports will likely move to a separate public son soon (see below). Most new iPhone models are eligible to download iOS 26 (both beta and final version). Want to see the full list of new features coming in this fall? Read
What is iOS 26?
The current iPhone operating system is iOS18, and Apple is still actively updating it – Version 18.6.1 was recently released to restore Apple Watch Blood Oxygen Monitoring functionality to some users in the United States, and another minor iOS 18 is expected to share information, which is expected to share information. Macrovers. But don’t expect to see iOS 19. Instead, Apple is leaving the number ahead of iOS 26 later this year. The company has decided to line up its iOS version numbers with the year -based system, which is like the car model years. So when the iOS and its siblings are released at the end of 2025, they have been named “26” to reflect next year.
This is official, we are going to iOS 26. (Apple)
What is a liquid glass design?
Let’s be honest. Of everything announced in the WWDC this year, the new liquid glass design show was the star of the show. The iPhone’s house and lock screens have seen a lot of the same year after year – the last interesting thing (in my opinion) was your option to customize your apps and widgets and add your aesthetic to your home screen. So it is fresh to see a new face of home and lock screens.
So what is the liquid glass exactly? Apple calls it a “new propaganda content”, since, well, apps and widgets are clear. However, the screen depends on the surrounding environment, can still be adapted to the dark and light methods. You will also see a new floating design button in several apps such as phone and maps. They are designed to be less disturbing than the current buttons, but still easy to see. Although its announcement has proved to be controversial, some – like the new direction, including the new direction, including its own devendar Hardaver, even if it is some of the reminders of Microsoft’s Parbassy Windows Vista aero designs.
That said, during the release of iOS 26 beta 2, Apple has already added some user feedback to the design, dialing transparency in at least in some places. And when this evolution continues, Apple’s users will not be able to avoid it: Liquid glass was designed to make all Apple’s OSS more compatible. Take a look here on how the Parbassy aesthetic will look at your desktop with the new Macos Tahao 26.
What are the new and notable features of iOS 26?
iOS 26 has a list of new features laundry. Of the highly valued:
Re -design to the phone app: You will eventually scroll to a screen through contacts, recent calls and voicemail messages. It also features a new feature called Hold Assist that will inform you when you come on the phone so that you can avoid lift music and continue with other tasks.
Directly translated into phone, facetime and messages: The iOS 26 is bringing the ability to communicate with someone else through a phone call or text message. Direct translation will translate your conversation in a real time, which has resulted in Apple receiving some stops and mutual interactions in the examples shared during its offer.
Pool in Group Chats: Looks like hundreds of messages in your group chat are tired of sorting it? You and your friends will soon be able to make police in group messages to decide what you are eating on a brunch spot or whose car you are taking on a road trip.
Filter to unknown Mercelon in messages: If you have not received spam texts about unpaid tools or other references, you are lucky. For those of us, these disturbing messages will soon be filtered in a separate folder.
Visual intelligence: Like the reverse Google image search, this new feature will allow you to find anything that is on your iPhone screen. For example, if you see a pair of shoes, someone is worn in Instagram photos, you can screen it and use visual intelligence to find these shoes (or similarly) online.
Photo tabs returned: For everyone who is still disappointed with the changes in the pictures made last year, you will be happy to know that your tabs are returning. Library and collections will have its own spaces so you do not need to scroll in the infinity to find what you are looking for.
Facetime “Communication Protection” feature: A new increase in iOS 26 shows a fee time “communication safety” feature that prevents communication if and when the nudity is detected. This feature shows a feature of children’s safety that uses the device detection, thus eliminating any cloud -based privacy problem.
New lock screen options: The iPhone lock screen becomes more customized in iOS 26, which has cool clock, 3D wallpaper effects, more widgets and improved focus mode options.
Apple’s Hold Assist will be Nifty for the disturbing services that have stopped you for 10 or more. (apple)
New changes to iPados 26
When it comes to big refreshments, your member is not lagging behind. What is coming in this fall.
Multi -Tasking and Real Window: When you download the latest update, you will run numerous apps on your screen at the same time. Once you open an app, it will appear on your screen as usual, but you will be able to change and move the size of the other apps to the ROOM. This feature is optional so you can turn it off if you don’t like it.
Visual Refresh: With other new OS, iPados is coming with 26 liquid glass aesthetic. This new shape will be seen on lock and household screens as well as on the dropdown menu.
New menu bar: When you swipe on your screen, the new menu will appear with options such as file, editing, windows and more. If you are looking for something special, there is also a search option.

What about Air Pods?
Air pods are also being updated with iOS 26. There are some notable functions here.
Improved audio recording: Apple calls this “studio quality” audio recording, and at the same time, you will find more clarification while living in a noise environment.
Camera Remote Control: Using it, you can take a picture with just one press on your air pods or stop video recording. When you take a photo, you will find a three -second countdown before taking a picture of your iPhone or iPad.
Directly Translation feature: Although not formally announced or confirmed, it seems that long rumors for air pods can be translated directly with iOS 26. The assets of the system shown in the iOS 26 son have revealed evidence that shows an indicator that is active in suppressing the two airbird trunks at the same time. The picture also features words in several different languages.

Some iPhone models that run the current version of iOS – run the iPhone XR, XS and XS Max – are not compatible with the latest upgrades. But any iPhone iOS 26 will be eligible for updated in 2019 or after.
