Apple recently unveiled its latest operating system, iOS 26, showcasing a new Liquid Glass design, home screen modifications, and the capability to automatically block scam calls. This upcoming release is anticipated to be available on devices in the fall.
For those eager to try out the new features sooner, Apple has introduced the iOS 26 Public Beta, allowing users to test the software and provide feedback on any potential issues or bugs.
However, not all devices will be compatible with the new update. The iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR will not support the iOS 26 beta or the official version upon its release.
Apple has listed the iPhones that will be able to run iOS 26, including the latest models from iPhone 16 Pro to iPhone 11.
To participate in shaping Apple software, users can join the Apple Beta Software Program and access the Public Beta version to experience the new updates before the official launch.
The iOS 26 update introduces a fresh look known as Liquid Glass, enhancing the visual appeal with glossy interfaces resembling glass. The lock screen has also been revamped for a more interactive experience, adapting dynamically to display space and changing based on notifications.
Noteworthy features in iOS 26 include Call Screening to filter out unknown calls and real-time translation of calls and texts for frequent travelers.
