As Apple prepares for its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June, where we expect the company to announce iOS 27, it's a good idea to take a look back on iOS 26. Apple released that update in September 2025, and it brought a load of new features to your iPhone, including call screening and other hidden features. The update also gave your iPhone Liquid Glass, the first major design shift on the device since Apple released iOS 7 in 2013.Â
Since the release of iOS 26, Apple released more iOS updates, which include more features, changes and improvements to your iPhone.Â
Those updates have also made it easy to change features on your iPhone, including the Liquid Glass design.
We put together this guide to help you navigate and use the latest features in iOS 26. This page will also help you keep track of the subsequent iOS 26 updates.Â
