Apple published the second public beta IOS 26.1 Tuesday, the company launched less than a month after the release of iOS 26, which introduced liquid glass, call screening and more on your device.
IOS 26.1 brings a useful security feature on devices and beta testers devices, which I hope to be the final cut.
Since this is a bet, I just suggest downloading it on something other than your primary device. The update can be buggy and the battery life may be less.
Also, this is not the final version, it is given 26.1 more features can land on your iPhone. There is no talk about when Apple will publish iOS 26.1 to the general public.
Here the developer features and beta testers can try now and what may be on your iPhone when Apple officially publish iOS 26.1.

Automatically install security improvement
Apple introduces a useful new security setting in 26.1 Bitta that allows your iPhone to download and install security improvements.
According to Apple “Background Protection Improvements provide additional protection to your iPhone in software updates.” “In rare examples of compatibility problems, these security improvements can be temporarily removed and then the future software updates can be developed.”
This feature reminds me of Apple Responds to rapid security (RSR) The company launched RSRs as a way to quickly deploy the protection fixes on devices in 2023. Theoretically a good idea, however, Apple iOS has not used the RSR since the release of iOS 16.5.1 (C) in July 2023.
This is not a sloping setting, but it is useful and lets you stay up to date in small security updates without any additional work. Once enabled, this setting takes care of the rest, so you don’t have to check your iPhone every day for new updates on potential security problems.
To change the song in Apple music
Apple has received a few new features in IOS 26, but the iOS 26.1 does not change much about the beta app or service. Instead, the update allows you to change the song in new ways.
Instead of taping the next or rear buttons to change the songs, including the IOS 26.1 Beta, you can swipe the left or right in the music player between Apple Music. When the player is taking your entire screen or when you are looking for Apple Music and the player is small and the bottom of your screen is you can do it. The title of the song is even on the left or right when you change the songs now.
Alarm gets an update more
Was a small upgrade to my favorite at iOS 26 Change your alarm snooze lengthThe In the iOS 26.1 Bitta, Apple accidentally makes your alarm dismissing more tight. When your alarm is closed in Bita, you now need to swipe it to turn off the button instead of hitting the button. If you are trying to turn off your alarm quickly, it may be annoying, or it may help to ensure that you are actually awake before your alarm turned off.
More live translation language
IOS 26.1 Beta adds more languages to the new Live translate Features. Apple introduced this feature on iPhone and Airpod with IOS 26 and lets beta developers and beta testers use it with these languages.
- Chinese (Mandarin, Simplified)
- Chinese (Mandarin, Traditional Tiwas)
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
Apple intelligence in more languages
If you have an Apple intelligent iPhone, iOS 26.1 Beta 1 brings AI features to these languages.
- Chinese
- Denish
- Dutch
- Norwegian
- Portuguese (Portugal)
- Swedish
- Turkish
- Vietnamese
Update the calendar
No big changes, but iOS 26 updates the Beta Calendar Interface. If you look at your calendar in the list view, any calendar event on your specified day will be colorful in the entire bottom of your screen.
New video scrubbing times
The iOS 26.1 Beta photo also made a small change in the video scrubing bar. If you go to the photo and watch a video you will notice that the bar across the bottom of your screen is more compact and inline than the past scrubing bar, which had play/break and volume button on top of the bar.
This is another small change that you couldn’t even notice.
These developers can try some new features and public beta examiners with the second public beta of iOS 26.1. There will also be more beta before the OS public is released, so there is a lot of time to change these features of Apple.
