Apple Seeds First Betas of iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, and macOS Tahoe 26.1

[MacRumors]

Apple today provided developers with the first betas of upcoming iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, macOS Tahoe 26.1, tvOS 26.1, watchOS 26.1, and visionOS 26.1 updates for testing purposes. The new betas are the first updates to the iOS, iPadOS, macOS 26, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS releases that came out last week.

The new betas can be downloaded from the Settings app on a compatible device by going to General > Software Update.

We don't yet know what's included in the beta software, but there are a couple of features that didn't make it into the launch version of iOS 26, like Wallet support for passports. We'll share details when we learn what's new.

The iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, macOS Tahoe 26.1, tvOS 26.1, watchOS 26.1, and visionOS 26.1, betas are limited to developers right now, but Apple will likely release some of the updates to public beta testers in the future.

Won’t jump on the beta train that fast with the brand new 17 Pro but I’m curious to see how the overall reception will be and if there are visible changes with Liquid Glass and some of the animations.

Edit: will test it on my iphone 13 from
work

Showing 17.25 GB on my 15PM… wow.

 

[jrussell06]

Iphone 15 plus the beta is 10 GB in size. Seems to be a big update

 

[hovscorpion12]

Ah. Here we go again

 

[Acidsplat]

Can't wait to see if there's been any UI or animation changes on Tahoe and iOS 26, but not going to sacrifice my new iPhone Air for it 😅

Curious if it has Apple Intelligence for new EU countries.. can someone check?

 

[DinkThifferent]

That’s quick! Curious to know what’s going to be in it. Hopefully Apple will release iOS 26.0.1 this week with the first bug fixes although i gotta admit that so far on my iPhone 16 Pro Max everything is working better than expected!

Please contain a ton of bug fixes and optimization, especially scrolling animation performance in safari and lists like mail and apple music. its so jittery and stuttery on 15 pro.

Good to see they’re moving things along with alacrity.

I wonder if it fixed the block callers on the phone app. If you read this reddit link youll see where everyones talking about it

Pretty please

I wonder if Apple Intelligence is gaining Turkish and other languages’s support with this new update.

 

[TJFDenver]

Did they fix the problem where they don’t test anything?

 

[Astuces iOS]

Time to download

 

[JMalone]

Hopefully restores normal corners, normal buttons that look clickable, avoids text clash when text scrolls under text (which should not be a thing anyway) and reduces Liquid Glass to only the Dock because we don’t need to simulate refraction in a UI except as a marketing gimmick.

Today, I learned the word “alacrity”. Thanks!

 

[hovscorpion12]

If OS 26.1 fixed what was in 26, I'm buying the Air

Learned it from my dad. So thank him! ♡

 

[nat1nat1]

Wow. 21.69Gb to download to 14 Pro Max. No storage space and no thank you!

 

[Reeneman]

We don’t know yet, we need to test it 😅

 

[Larsen2k4]

Did they finally fix the wrong usb drive icon on Tahoe? 🫣

 

[centauratlas]

That was a quick reply!

And if not are you going with the Pro or the regular 17?

8GB on my 13 mini. Not like they can make liquid glass look worse, right?
