Note that iOS 26 is still in beta, so these features could be buggy or not work properly. We recommend downloading a beta only on something other than your primary device. Because this isn't the final version of iOS 26, the update might be buggy and battery life may be short so it's best to keep those troubles on a secondary device.

Learn how to transition from iOS 26 beta to the final release with this step-by-step guide. Upgrade smoothly and enjoy the latest features.

Apple hasn't announced a release date for iOS 26, but if past updates are any guide, we have a pretty good idea of when to expect to launch.
