iOS 26 beta released by Apple: All new features broken down, including new ringtones, camera updates, and more | The Express Tribune

Apple has released the sixth developer beta of iOS 26.

The update introduces new ringtones, changes to the Camera app, interface refinements, and faster app performance.

It comes as the software approaches its expected public release in September.

Released on Tuesday alongside new betas for iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS, the new betafocuses more on smaller refinements, as reported by TechCrunch.

Among the most noticeable additions is a set of six new ringtones, all derived from the existing “Reflection” tone.

Early testers have shown particular interest in the “Dreamer” tone, which has drawn praise on social media.

In the latest beta, Applehas alsoreverted the Camera app’s swipe behaviour to its original form.

The changecomes aftera much-criticised modification altered the swipe direction for switching camera modes in earlier modes.

Performance improvements are another highlight of the update, with faster transition times and new animations for opening and closing apps.

Apple’s “Liquid Glass” interface – which adds a translucent, glass-like effect across the system – has also been refined, featuring increased colour dispersion in tab navigation and more pronounced effects on the Lock Screen and toggle buttons.

A redesigned onboarding sequence now greets users after updating, introducing Liquid Glass and other iOS 26 features, including refreshed icons and updated layouts for various native apps.

A public beta update is expected shortly following the developer release.
