Apple has confirmed a new security update for iOS users, but you need to make sure this setting is enabled to get it. Here’s what you need to know and do.

New emojis include ballet dancers, a distorted face, a fight cloud, a sasquatch-like creature, a landslide, an orca, a trombone and a treasure chest.

OS 26.4 beta 4 adds a CarPlay Music privacy confirmation screen; new emojis like Bigfoot arrive, with small heat reports on some devices.

Apple has expanded its developer reach, specifically in China, ahead of iOS 27’s unveiling at WWDC 2026 in June.

Keep messages from unknown numbers away from your inbox and out of sight. When Apple released iOS 26 in September 2025, the update included a call screening feature that blocks spam calls to your iPhone. The update also includes a feature that can screen texts from unknown senders to keep your inbox spam free.

Big design changes can be polarizing, and Apple’s big visual overhaul in iOS 26, macOS 26 Tahoe, and the rest have certainly proven that.

The upcoming iOS 27 release will reportedly not change the existing Liquid Glass design Apple introduced last year.

Apple will announce iOS 27 at this year's WWDC, though it might not come with many new features. Instead, the focus might be on optimizing the experience for iPhone users. Some users on iOS 26 find the OS to be buggy, especially the keyboard. Mac users have similar issues with macOS Tahoe.
