A new test version of iOS 26 is available again! With iOS 26 beta 9, improvements come to the iPhone again. This changes.
iOS 26 Beta 9
Apple has released a new test version of iOS 26! With iOS 26 Bèta 9, Apple does not make any major changes on the iPhone. Instead, small problems in the software are solved. It is rare for Apple to release nine test versions of a new software version, making beta 9 a special update. The fact that the company is now releasing a new beta means that the software is still not working properly.
It is not clear exactly what problems are solved in iOS 26 beta 9. It is probably small adjustments that prepare the software for the final release. In addition to the ninth test version for developers, Apple has also released the sixth public beta of iOS 26. This is intended for all users who already want to get started with the new functions of iOS 26. Long we don’t have to wait for iOS 26, because the final update will soon be published.
Many new functions
With iOS 26 many new functions come to your iPhone. These new features are probably improved in iOS 26 beta 9, so that they are ready for public use. Apple introduces Liquid Glass in iOS 26, with which many glasses and transparent elements come to the operating system. That’s not all, because the majority of the standard apps on your iPhone get a new layout. This is how the camera app looks completely different in iOS 26.
Other changes in iOS 26 are more options on the lock and home screen. You can personalize the lock screen even better, for example by making the time larger or smaller. On the home screen you get more options, because for the first time you can opt for the clear view at applications. With this display, the symbols of all apps become transparent, where you can see the new Liquid Glass design. In iOS 26 beta 9 this is virtually unchanged.
Release of iOS 26
With iOS 26, Apple not only brings new functions to the iPhone, but also opts for a new naming. Instead of iOS 19, Apple releases iOS 26, whereby the figure refers to the year in which the software is mainly used. With the new software version, almost all Apple applications get more functions, including the telephone, messages and card app. In iOS 26 Bèta 9, Apple has not adjusted these applications as far as is known.
It is special that Apple iOS 26 has released beta 9, because in less than a week the company already presents the iPhone 17. That means that the release of iOS 26 is approaching, the last test version of the software may appear next week. Are you curious when your iPhone can update?
