Apple’s iOS 26 software update for iPhones is available today to all users using iPhone 11, iPhone SE 2, and later. iOS 26’s marquee feature was Apple’s Liquid Glass design , which included elements on screen that resembled a “glassy” look. Other features included a call screening assistant, a new gaming and preview app, in-app translation across the system, and updates to Genmoji and Image Playground apps.
The operating system update also went through a big numerical change as Apple jumped from iOS 18 to iOS 26 for two key reasons.

And it also wanted to reflect the year number in which the majority of the people will use this update.
