iOS 26 introduces a new 'Liquid Glass' user interface, providing a transparent design to various apps and features. Key improvements include a Lock Screen with a 3D photo effect, a dedicated gaming app, and enhanced communication capabilities. Users can expect real-time translation in Phone and Messages alongside new Call Screening and Hold Assist features. Additionally, AI-powered shortcuts and updates to Visual Intelligence enhance overall functionality. Other Apple operating systems, such as iPadOS and macOS, adopt this cohesive design approach, presenting a unified user experience across devices.
The update represents the most notable visual transformation since iOS 7, featuring a 'Liquid Glass' design that offers a more transparent, glass-like feel to user interface elements.
The new software brings a live translation feature that translates conversations in real-time, AI-powered shortcuts, poll suggestions in Messages, and an update to Visual Intelligence.
In addition to the glass aesthetic, iPhone users have several updates to be excited about, including a dedicated gaming app that serves as a new destination for playing and discovering games.
The Phone app is introducing a new Call Screening feature that prompts unknown callers to state their name and reason for calling before the recipient answers.
