Custom Ringtones Made Simple
For the first time, you can set any audio file as your ringtone directly from the iPhone’s share menu. No need for extra apps or iTunes!
Better Text Selection in Messages
Selecting text in the Messages app is now easier. You can grab just the part you want without copying the whole chat or taking screenshots.
Adaptive Power Mode
A new Adaptive Power Mode helps save battery life by tweaking performance, like dimming the screen slightly or slowing down some tasks when needed.
Hidden Ringtone Surprise
There’s a secret new version of the “Reflection” ringtone tucked away in the iOS 26 beta code. It’s not in the settings yet, but it’s a fresh twist on a classic.
These updates show Apple’s focus on making your iPhone more fun and user-friendly. As the iOS 26 beta evolves, more tweaks might pop up before the public release in September 2025. Keep an eye out for these handy features.
