Apple recently unveiled its latest operating system, iOS 26, showcasing a fresh Liquid Glass look, revamped home screen, and the new feature to automatically block scam calls. The tech giant’s upcoming release is set to officially roll out to devices in the fall.
For those who can’t wait until then, Apple has introduced the iOS 26 Public Beta, allowing users to test out the new features and provide feedback on any potential bugs or issues.
While this early access is a great opportunity for some users to experience the upgrade ahead of time, it also means that older devices like the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR will not be compatible with the new software due to hardware limitations.
Apple has listed the compatible devices for iOS 26, including various iPhone models from 11 to 16 Pro Max. Users can participate in shaping Apple’s software by joining the Beta Software Program and trying out the pre-release versions.
To access iOS 26, interested individuals can visit Apple’s website and sign up for the Beta Software Program. The installation process is straightforward, and users can soon enjoy the new features announced last month.
The latest iOS update introduces the Liquid Glass design, enhancing the visual appearance with glossy elements. The lock screen now offers more interactive features, adapting dynamically based on available screen space and notifications.
Additionally, iOS 26 includes Call Screening to filter out unknown calls and real-time translation for calls and texts, benefiting frequent travelers and users looking to avoid spam calls.
By providing feedback and testing the beta version, users can contribute to improving Apple’s software and shaping future releases.
