Apple today seeded the second betas of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 to developers for testing. The second betas come two weeks after the first betas, which were seeded immediately following the WWDC25 keynote.
Registered developers can download the new beta software using the Software Update section of the Settings app. While the iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 betas are currently limited to developers, a public beta will be released in July. The updates will launch to the public in the fall.
The update brings a new Liquid Glass design, new Apple Intelligence features, and much more.
The betas include new features for several apps, including Messages, Phone, Shortcuts, and Apple Music. iPadOS 26, brings a new multitasking system, supporting multiple app windows, provinding a more Mac-like experience.
As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users to not install any betas on their daily driver iPhone or iPad. Instead, only install betas on a device set aside for testing purposes.
