Apple Releases iOS 26.1 With Liquid Glass Toggle, Slide to Stop Alarm, New Apple Intelligence Languages and More

If I were still on iOS 18.7 on my iPhone 16 Plus and iPad Air M3 13", I would have upgraded, too. Many are still on iOS 18.x because they don't trust the drastic changes you see in iOS 26.x versions.

iPadOS 18.7.2 is available as well.

You have to be careful when you click the update button when it goes into settings it automatically tricks you into installing iOS 26.1, you have to hit the back button to get the iOS 18 update.
My nephew wasn’t paying attention and now he’s on iOS 26.1 and he says iMessage keyboard isn’t working right.

On iPad it looks normal, updating to iPadOS 26 is optional, only suggested at the bottom.

And, 26.1 did not fix the issue with my iPad Pro M4's touch screen glitching out for a few seconds; every few minutes while playing video games. Even with games on medium settings as to not tax the cpus, gpus, keep heat down and minimize battery drain ... the touch screen stops taking input until the iPad visibly redraws the screen; and then controls work, until the next time it happens.

Incredibly frustrating.

So... the see-thru UI is already screwing things up so much that they've started to walk it back?

Save the augmented-reality FX for the VG goggles, where it's needed to help morons avoid bumping into things, Apple.

I am VERY happy to be able to turn off the "swipe left on the lock screen to quickly access the camera."

But I have to say the correct toggle selection in the Camera app is not intuitive as the title of the toggle is the opposite of the description
