Everything New in iOS 26.4 Beta 1

[Takeo Apple]

And not a single word about Siri 2.0.

Too early. It’s about integrating into so many services. I would think beta 3 or 4 will have some implementation.

And not a single word about Siri 2.0.

Where Siri? Where Gemini?

Either a later beta or not at all and 26.5 (things are leaning here)

Our first official Super Siri glimpse will be WWDC in June.

This emoji captures how I feel about this beta:

I’m getting worried about the emoji consortium. Every face they release looks more and more distraught!

Which I’ve been saying for months. Not that anyone has ever officially said anything either way.

Working as intended. Requires explicit user action (manual tap) to ensure accountability and prevent false positives. Not a bug.

Strange, mine reads it to me and asks if I want to reply. I say no, done.

And...no Siri? I don't understand how a 15 year old feature has suffered from so many deficiencies and delays.

This thing is driving me crazy. Why not write in at least one post that the improved Siri is confirmed to be absent?!? After all, everyone was hoping for it at least a little. It makes no sense

Here we go again...again.

So many bizarre responses to a point update that doesn’t contain a Siri change that Apple never promised. Some griftin’ rando makes it up as he goes along and people treat it as official changelog 🤦‍♂️

New Siri will arrive when it’s ready, these are nice tweaks.

Apple promised it a year and a half ago.

Does that count as official enough for you?

Siri has gone silent on my iphone now after 26.4 She won't respond with her voice. Just pops up messages.

It’s fine guys, it’s fine

Overall some very useful changes. Looking forward to trying them out when it finally launches. Would like carriers to support RCS as soon as possible.

The App Store's navigation bar also no longer features Search as a separate button, and the search bar itself is at the top when tapped rather than the bottom.

The search bar was probably moved so you don’t miss the ads. By moving the search bar to the top you are more likely to see them on the Search screen. Not only is this scummy, but it also affects usability as it’s harder to reach with one-handed use.

The fact that the Wallpaper Gallery has “Get” next to each category makes me think Apple is planning to release a wallpaper store. I guess they didn’t hear about how Marques Browee’s Panel app turned out…

MKBHD Shutting Down Controversial 'Panels' Wallpaper App

Panels, a wallpaper app launched by well-known YouTuber Marques Brownlee (MKBHD), is shutting down at the end of 2025. According to a notice on the Panels website, the "makeup of the development team" changed earlier this year, and MKBHD wasn't able to find other collaborators who were the...

The setting includes a new "Allow Search" toggle that lets trusted Apple devices provide search results to iCloud.com.

Can someone explain what this means and why you’d want to allow it?

 

[braddick]

I’m working on it.

Work faster.

I like the playlist playground feature, wished Spotify had something similar.

Everything missing in iOS 26.4 Beta 1: new Siri

 

[McTool]

Yawn 🥱
Bring iOS 27 and its bug fixes asap

What do you mean asap?
Everybody knows the schedule.

 

[McTool]

Siri went back to old style. The edge glow effect went away.

I still have it.
I saw what you said on Zollotech and was baffled.

 

[McTool]

Interesting timing. So maybe we will see beta 2 on march second with the new Siri update before the experience event, so they can all try it and report about it. If this will come true this will be an genius marketing campaign

Genius marketing campaign.
It was announced almost two years ago.
People seem to forget fast.

It's a tradition here to immediately slam anything announced by Apple. Which goes back back many years.

It’s was announced at WWDC 24!
