\n

Apple released iOS 26 in September, and is now gearing up to unveil iOS 26.1, the next incremental update for the iPhone software. The update, which is now in the Release Candidate (RC) stage, brings a mix of visual refinements, including Liquid Glass, changes in camera controls and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Friday, an iOS developer and beta tester even announced the release of iOS26.1 RC2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Release Candidate (RC) is a version of the software that is nearly final, released to testers and beta developers ahead of the public launch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When does iOS 26.1 drop?<\/h2>\n

Apple<\/a> has not made any official announcement on when it will release iOS 26.1 for iPhone users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Apple usually releases an RC a week or two prior to rolling out the update for everyone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

However, Apple usually releases an RC a week or two prior to making an update available to everyone. Hence it is likely that the iPhone maker will follow the same timeline and reportedly release iOS 26.1 around early November \u2013 which marks a week from the RC release, which was announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

iOS 26.1: What are the new features?<\/h2>\n

From improvements in Apple Music, Liquid Glass to alarm gestures \u2013 here are the new features that’s in store for iPhone users with iOS 26.1 update.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1. More control on Liquid Glass<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With the iOS 26.1, Apple is giving its users more control to choose how the iPhone interface looks. The new \u201cLiquid Glass\u201d customisation toggle allows users to adjust the transparency level of system backgrounds \u2013 allowing users to choose between \u201cClear\u201d and \u201cTinted\u201d modes from Display and Brightness settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Clear is more transparent, revealing the content beneath,” Apple writes for the setting, while “tinted increases opacity and adds more contrast.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2. Slide instead of tap for alarms<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

No more tapping to stop alarms. Apple has now introduced a new \u201cslide to stop\u201d gesture for alarms and timers which could reduce accidental dismissals while adding a more natural, tactile feel to waking up or managing countdowns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3. Changes in lock screen and Apple Music<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With iOS 26.1, iPhone users can now disable the \u201cswipe to open Camera\u201d shortcut on the Lock Screen \u2014 something which users might have triggered unintentionally previously. In Apple Music, a simple swipe left or right on the mini-player now skips between songs, making playback smoother and faster.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

4. Apple TV’s new look, wider language support<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The new update also brings in a more colourful Apple TV app icon. The service will now simply be called \u201cApple TV.\u201d Apple is also broadening language support for its AI-powered Apple Intelligence and AirPods Live Translation features, adding Danish, Turkish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and Italian languages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

5. Background security improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

iOS 26.1 also enhances device protection with a new \u201cBackground Security Improvements\u201d option. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
