The biggest changes coming to your iPhone with iOS 26

Apple has just announced the update of the following main program for iPhone: iOS 26 (a jump from what is expected of it, until recently, to be called iOS 19), which is packed with a full set of new features of your phone. The biggest change is a new design, but there are a lot of improvements and smaller additions that can make a difference in how to use your iPhone every day.

Here are more details about what you can expect from iOS 26 when it is issued to everyone this fall. If you want to try it early, Apple has already launched a group of developers, and you will present a general experimental version at some point in July.

Recovery design via the operating system

Apple has a new design language called “Glass Liquid” that is presented across all company devices, not just iPhone. It is inspired by the Visionos program used with the Apple’s Vision Pro headset, and it is characterized by a lot of transparency that Apple says “behaves like glass in the real world.” The items that appear on the screen are now using “presenting the actual time” that allows them to respond to the movement with prominent points and colored transformations.

The changes from liquid glass seem to touch almost every part of the operating system, including applications, buttons, slides, control center and head screen. The tabs will also change due to liquid glass, shrink and expand while passing up and down.

Messages improve for group chats

In messages, IOS 26 adds a lot of updates that can greatly improve the group chats. You will be able to customize the chat wallpaper to give it more character. To help make collective decisions or get an opinion about something, you can create opinion polls. Finally, Apple adds writing indicators to group chats, making them feel more vibrant.

Some new phone features will help you save time

Apple takes some Google Sermon by adding the call -up feature and “Hold Assist” feature that can wait for you. The company also adds a new unified layout option that combines favorite women, recordings and sound mails in one show.

Live translation can translate calls in real time

Apple adds an Apple intelligent feature that can translate the text on your screen and translate speech back and forth in the middle of a phone call. The company creates the feature in messages, FaceTime, and the phone application, and Apple says its models for direct translation are fully on your device for privacy.

Some of the small apple intelligence improvements

Although we are still waiting for Apple to announce when it will already be released on its siri, iOS 26 will include some of the new intelligent features. Visual intelligence will allow you to conduct searches for the things you see on your screen. With Genmoji, you will be able to combine two emojis in one. The shortcuts will be able to use Apple’s intelligence models to improve your workflow.

The new game application is all about your games

The new Apple games application will provide a central center for everything on your iPhone games. The Home tab shows things like updates and events in your games. The Apple Arcade tab allows you to browse the company’s catalog for the service. The library tab displays all the application store games you have ever downloaded. The Play Tob Tab allows you to see what your friends reach.
