iOS 26 Beta 4 has reversed the adjustments to opaque again. In the meantime, the reporting center still uses full transparency when it is completely opened. iOS 26 Bèta 4 has also re-introduced reporting entertainment for news apps. Apple had this Apple IntelLigence function previously paused after complaints that texts allowances could change the meaning of heads.
iOS 26 Beta 5 has returned the Select button to Mail, added a switch to return to the classic cattle feature of the camera mode, and more.
iOS 26 Beta 6 has removed that switch for the camera cattle direction, added faster animations, added new ringtones, and more.

In addition to improvements and bug fixes, iOS 26 Bèta 7 also brings a new function to your iPhone.
Adaptiver Power Notifications
iOS 26 introduces an adaptive power mode on the iPhone, in addition to the existing energy-saving mode. According to Apple, this mode can implement performance adjustments if necessary to extend the battery life. Consider reducing the brightness of the screen, so that some activities can continue for longer. But also to automatically switch on the energy saving mode when the remaining battery duration taps 20 percent.
iOS 26 Bèta 7 adds an extra switch for Adaptive Power Notifications in the Settings app, under Battery> Start -up mode. With this setting you indicate whether you want to receive push reports when the adaptive electricity mode is switched on.
