iOS 26 Update Release

iOS 26: Features, New Apps, And More – Everything To Expect

iOS 26 comes with a fresh new look called Liquid Glass. Think of it as frosted textures and widgets that move around to match your wallpaper. Apple has also added Call Screening and Hold Assist. Unknown caller? Your iPhone will first ask them who they are and why they’re calling before your phone even rings. You can then decide if it’s worth answering. And if you’re stuck on hold, Hold Assist waits for you and notifies you when the other side is finally ready. Another handy addition is Live Translation, which lets you translate text or speech instantly during phone calls, FaceTime chats, and even messages.

For gamers, it adds a Games app that brings everything gaming into one place. You can explore new titles, see what your friends are playing, track achievements, and send invites. Existing apps are also smarter now. The Photos app neatly groups your pictures into collections like trips, pets, or people. Visual Intelligence can scan whatever’s on your screen and answer questions about it.
