Already available the Beta 5 of iOS 26: all its novelties

Of course, although the novelties that we will see are interesting, as we always say, we do not recommend trying it unless you have a secondary device, since they usually contain failures that could affect the performance of your iPhone, so it is important to take that caution and have patience.

IOS characteristics 26 beta 5

We will review, in a summary way, what we have been able to observe in this new beta. There may be things that have happened to us, however, the most relevant would be the following:

• Design: The style is maintained Liquid Glass With subtle visual improvements. The control center has a “mouth” animation when changing panel. The unlock screen also shows a new animated effect when entering the code.
• Camera app: New option called “Classic Mode Switching” that allows you to invest the gesture address by changing between camera modes.
• Mail app: A visible “select” button is added, which facilitates selecting several emails without entering other menus.
• Airdrop: The Airdrop icon on the sharing panel has been redesigned with the new visual style.
• Lock screen: New animations when blocking the device or unlocking it while playing music.
• Control Center – Wi -Fi: Now shows if a network is public or private, and includes a padlock icon if protected.
• Travel functions: Siri can now automatically suggest useful options before leaving the country, such as activating data roaming.
• Wallet app: The “Payments” button has been renamed as “pre -authorized payments” to better reflect its function.
• Minor visual changes: New starting screens (Splash) for apps such as Apple Music, Notes and Journal. The dock has a wider visual effect. New icon in the Fitness+app.
• Battery: A notification appears in the Dynamic Island when the level drops to 20%.
• Apple Watch Ultra 3 (Filtration): A screen resolution is detected 422 × 514 pxwhich suggests a slightly larger size or thinner edges

As we can see, they are specific improvements that add more value to iOS 26, an update that, once complete, will show one of the biggest changes and jumps that we have had on our iPhones, although it may not for all tastes, since the design is quite peculiar, and being accustomed, for so long, it may seem strange, and cost to adapt.

And you, do you miss any novelty in iOS 26 that you have been asking for a while and do not add? Is there anything you have liked? Leave us a comment with your opinion, since Apple usually changes a lot in their betas, depending on what users say, so that that does not convince you, does not end out in September, you never know. For now it is time to wait, there is little left to see it officially.
