The iOS 26 public beta will become available in July via the Apple Beta Software Program. If you're not already a member, you'll need to sign up to try out all the latest features. Just visit beta.apple.com and sign up with your phone number or email address. It's free.

The first beta made its rounds the same day iOS 26 was announced, and Apple has officially launched beta 2 with some improvements and enhancements. As with most beta releases, Apple is working mostly on stability and bug fixes, but has tossed in a few changes and extras here and there that you might not find unless you know where to look.

These are not likely the final adjustments, given that iOS 26 doesn't launch publicly until the fall. However, they are indications that Apple is actively listening to early user feedback and making tweaks accordingly.
