Apple has recently launched a significant update to its operating system for iPhone users. The new update, named iOS 26.1, brings nine major changes and is now available for download. To get the update, simply go to General > Settings > Software Update on your device.
One of the key features in iOS 26.1 is the option to adjust the Liquid Glass look introduced in Apple’s initial iOS 26 release. This feature allows users to choose between the default clear appearance and a new tinted look for apps, folders, and menus on the screen.
In addition to 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 swipe for opening the Camera, and improved audio quality for FaceTime calls in low-bandwidth conditions.
The release also addresses bug fixes and security improvements, making it essential to install. Keep in mind that the update file size is over 14GB, so it is recommended to download iOS 26.1 while connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Here is a summary of the key changes introduced by Apple in iOS 26.1:
– Liquid Glass setting now offers a choice between clear and tinted appearances
– Live Translation support for additional languages with AirPods
– Enhanced Apple Music functionality
– Improved control for external USB microphones during recording
– Added features for workout logging in the Fitness app
– Updated communication safety measures and web content filters for younger users
