Apple Seeds Second Developer Betas of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26
Apple today provided developers with the second betas of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 for testing purposes. The updates come two weeks after Apple seeded the first betas following the WWDC keynote. The new software includes new features for apps like Messages, Phone, Shortcuts, and Apple Music.
Registered developers can download the new beta software using the Software Update section of the Settings app.
iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 feature Apple’s new Liquid Glass design aesthetic, with a focus on translucency and glass-like interface elements. The new design extends to the Lock Screen, Home Screen, and Control Center, along with menus and buttons in apps.
Apple’s new software includes new features for apps like Messages, Phone, Shortcuts, and Apple Music, along with new Apple Intelligence features, a revamp for CarPlay, and more. In iPadOS 26, there’s a whole new multitasking system that supports multiple app windows for a more Mac-like experience.
For more on the new features in iOS 26, we have a dedicated iOS 26 roundup and a separate iPadOS 26 roundup.
While the iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 betas are limited to developers right now, Apple plans to release a public beta in July. The updates will launch in the fall.
