Apple's WWDC event has come and gone, but the buzz around iOS 26 is just getting started. Shortly after the big reveal, Apple rolled out the first developer beta of iOS 26, giving developers and early adopters a chance to try out the next evolution of iPhone software.

On iOS 26, the Control Center blur effect has been refined, making text and icons easier to read. Safari also sees subtle but welcome interface changes, with tweaks that simplify navigation and button access particularly when working with tabs.

The iOS 26 public beta will become available in July via the Apple Beta Software Program. If you're not already a member, you'll need to sign up to try out all the latest features. Just visit beta.apple.com and sign up with your phone number or email address. It's free.
