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

OS 26 beta 5 for iPhone and ipadOS 26 beta 5 for iPad have been made available for beta testers. The initial build is available for developer betas but the same build typically arrives soon after

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.
