Tech giant Apple has released the first public beta of its upcoming iPhone software update, iOS 26.
The beta is now available to anyone enrolled in Apple’s Beta Software Program.
The iOS 26 features a new design language Apple calls “Liquid Glass.” Inspired by visionOS, the interface of the Apple Vision Pro, Liquid Glass introduces enhanced transparency. Apart from this, the iOS 26 update will include update to group chats, a call screening feature and live translation and more.
However, users should be aware that public beta software may contain bugs and incomplete features. Not all announced features will be available right away, and users may experience stability issues, app crashes, and increased battery drain. It is strongly recommended to back up your device before installing the beta.
