Apple has rolled out the latest iOS 26.1 update for iPhone users, offering nine major changes. To download the update, navigate to General > Settings > Software Update on your device. One significant feature in this update is the option to customize the Liquid Glass appearance introduced in a previous iOS 26 release. Users can now choose between a clear or tinted look for apps and menus.
Aside from the visual changes, the update includes enhancements such as expanded language support for Live Translation on AirPods, a new Camera setting to control Lock Screen access, and improved FaceTime call quality in low-bandwidth conditions. The release also addresses bug fixes and security improvements, making it essential to install. Note that the update file size exceeds 14GB, so it is advisable to download it over a Wi-Fi connection.
The full list of changes in iOS 26.1 includes the Liquid Glass setting, extended language support for Live Translation with AirPods, new Apple Music features, enhanced camera settings, improved FaceTime audio quality, and additional safety measures for web content filtering. The update is compatible with a range of iPhone models from iPhone 11 to the latest iPhone 15 series and iPhone SE (3rd generation).
