The First Public Beta of iOS 26 Is Out, and Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Install It

iOS 26 is on its way. Apple first announced the newest update for iPhones during WWDC 2025, revealing new features, like the "Liquid Glass" redesign, the first major overhaul for the Camera app in years, and live translation for all supported Apple devices.

Apple isn't planning on releasing iOS 26 to the public until some time this fall. However, you can try it out right now, if you have a compatible iPhone, by installing the iOS 26 public beta (not to be confused with the developer beta).
