Apple has released a new version of iOS 26! There are various new functions and improvements in Bèta 2 of iOS 26. We put the most important one under a row for you.
- The control panel is now easier to read, because the background has been made a bit darker;
- There is a new ringtone available that was first found in the IOS 26 program code. You can find it by tapping the ‘reflection’ in the settings and choosing ‘Alt 1’.
- Notifications of strangers have a red color in messages;
- Apple Music now has a live radio widget;
- The iOS 26 background now has a 3D effect;
- Apps in your dock are aligned on the left (instead of centered) when you have three or fewer apps in it.
