Apple Seeds First Betas of iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the first betas of upcoming iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming less than a week after Apple released iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3.

Registered developers can download the betas from the Settings app on the iPhone or iPad by going to the General section and selecting Software Update.

iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4 could be significant updates that will introduce several new features. We were counting on the betas to include the smarter, more personalized version of Siri that Apple first debuted at WWDC 2024, but Apple has apparently run into issues that could see some or all Siri features delayed until iOS 26.5 or iOS 27.

We could still get some new Siri capabilities, such as tools for generating images and searching the web.

The update is also expected to include new emoji characters, such as trombone, treasure chest, orca, landslide, and Bigfoot.

iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4 are limited to developers at the current time, but Apple will likely release a public beta in the next week or two.

I like how you guys have to be the first to publish this article, at the expense of even knowing what the update contains.

I hope I'm wrong but I get a sense that we won't see any sign of Siri 2.0 as rumours from a few days ago said Apple we're struggling again!

Hopefully, we get something in 26.4, otherwise I'm gonna lose faith in a multi-trillion dollar company...

Is RCS UP 3.0 in there?

As always, Gurman was wrong, claiming this wouldn't be released until the week of the 23rd.

Probably because the article was already written days ago and all they had to do was hit publish.

There's an RCS update but not sure what version it is and the updated version only works for iPhone to iPhone (if iMessage is disabled) currently.

It’s nice to see Gurman being wrong😂

His wording was a bit more restrained than MacRumors’: “As for the specific timing of releases: Apple expects to deliver the first beta version of iOS 26.4 to developers the week of Feb. 23.”
