Apple is working on iOS 26.1, with which many functions come to your iPhone. On this date you can expect the release of iOS 26.1!
iOS 26.1
Another update is coming for your iPhone! Apple recently released iOS 26.0.1, which mainly solved problems in the software. So no new functions came to your iPhone, but that is the case with iOS 26.1. It is expected that Apple will still release the update this month. By looking at the releases of previous software versions, we have a good idea when you can install iOS 26.1. Previous updates appeared on this data:
- iOS 18.1: Monday, October 28, 2024;
- iOS 17.1: Wednesday, October 25, 2023;
- iOS 16.1: Monday, October 24, 2022;
- iOS 15.1: Monday, October 25, 2021.
Similar software updates have almost always been released in the last week of October. There is a good chance that Apple will hold the same planning in 2025, so that you can probably install iOS 26.1 in the week of 27 October. Apple usually releases new software versions on a Monday evening. So keep your iPhone Monday, October 27, 2025 at 7 p.m. A good eye, because that evening the release of iOS 26.1 is expected.
Many new functions
With iOS 26, Apple already brought major changes to your iPhone in September, but with iOS 26.1 many more functions are added. It is an important software version, because Apple introduces the Dutch version of Apple Intelligence with iOS 26.1. With Apple Intelligence, almost all applications are expanded with a handy writing aid, which helps you to improve, rewrite and check texts.
In addition, you can put together images yourself in Image Playground, which you can then add to your film roll and easily share via, for example, WhatsApp. Are you regularly looking for the right emoji for a moment? IOS 26.1 offers a handy solution for that, because you can create emoji with Genmoji yourself. This way you have a suitable picture for every moment that you have made yourself. You will automatically find Genmoji above your keyboard after the release of iOS 26.1.
More about iOS 26.1
With Apple Intelligence, your iPhone will get further support for Live Translation, the improved version of Siri and the renewed Mail app. These functions have been available in English for some time, but you can finally use in Dutch after the release of iOS 26.1. The next software version is therefore mainly about Apple Intelligence, provided that your iPhone works with all new functions. View here if your iPhone will be expanded with Apple Intelligence:
We see other improvements in iOS 26.1 at Apple Music, where you can switch between songs in the new software version by simply wiping over the screen. Software errors are remedied in the photos and agenda app, which have been playing since iOS 26. Do you not want to miss anything about the release of iOS 26.1?
