The first major iOS 26 update brings live translation improvements, streamlined gesture controls, new visual settings, and more. Updates are also available for iPadOS and macOS.
Apple has launched iOS 26.1, its first updates since the iOS 26 launch in September.
Compatible with iPhone 11 series and later and the second-generation iPhone SE devices, this update brings with it a number of quality-of-life changes, including new language support in Apple Intelligence, better live translation support, and improved gesture controls in a range of apps and services, among others.
Apple’s iOS 26 debuted with an overhauled Liquid Glass visual design to give the latest iPhone OS a wonderfully uniform look. Call screening and hold assist were really useful additions, and the Spatial Scenes can make a real difference to wallpapers and photos. If we had any complaints, it’s that there were some obvious bugs and the interface needed just a few tweaks here and there. Update 26.1 may fix most of our concerns.
The new update brings improvements to Apple Intelligence language support, adding Danish, Dutch, Norweigian, and Turkish, among others.
