Here are iOS 26 beta 6 new features, changes and release notes that you as an iPhone or iPad user need to know about.

The second public beta release follows the fifth developer beta release of the pre-release software. Apple is expected to release the final versions of the iOS 26.0 and iPadOS 26.0 in September. We’ll likely see iOS 26.0.1 and maybe even an iOS 26.1 developer beta around the same time next month.

It means iPhone owners can now download the iOS 26 public beta, iPad owners get access to iPadOS 26, Mac users can now check out macOS Tahoe, while Watch wearers have the option to experience the watchOS 26 public beta. All ahead of the official releases later this year (likely mid-September).
