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.

The second iOS 26 beta also makes it much easier to find out which accessibility options an app supports before downloading it from the App Store. While looking at an app's product page, users can access a new Accessibility section that developers will be required to fill out with all the features their products support.

Apple released iOS 26 beta 2, which brings the key transparency fixes we needed: Control Center and Notifications are finally readable.
