Apple has just announced iOS 26, and with it comes a range of new features and improvements to the iPhone.
A new power mode called Adaptive Power Mode will adjust settings like screen brightness and slow down processes when high usage is detected to conserve battery life.
Lock Screen widget customization enables users to move widgets to the bottom of the screen for easier access to the camera and flashlight buttons.
Visited Places offers a timeline of locations visited, organised by type and city, similar to Google Maps’ timeline functionality.
The Photos app has been redesigned with two tabs; one for the library and another for albums and memories.
Onscreen Visual Intelligence uses Google Image Search to provide detailed information about screened items.
Messages improvements include poll creation, automatic language translation, custom group chat backgrounds, and Apple Pay support for group payments.
Call screening will display responses from unknown callers asking for a name and reason for the call.
iOS 26 is set for release later this year. End of summary.
