Apple unveils iOS 26 — new design and many improvements for iPhone 11 and later

The anticipated change in the numbering of Apple’s operating system versions has taken place — the company introduces iOS 26 in new design of Liquid Glass and many changes for greater comfort.

In addition to the new look, the new design means new features. The clock on the lock screen can be stretched to cover almost the entire display. The «Camera» app has a simplified interface, with many controls now hidden to make it look cleaner. Web pages in Safari have more room to play, and the tab bar floats above the content.

Notifications have also changed. Backgrounds are now customizable — Apple will suggest options, but you can also add your own photos or images generated by Image Playground. You can create polls in messages, and Apple Intelligence can suggest where it’s appropriate to do so. Group chats will get typing indicators.
