The Calls notification number on the Phone icon needs to be fixed. Whatever I do I have three new calls on it…
Got a tip for us?

Updates don't come out on Fridays, barring some emergency imminent bug or security fix.
If 26.0.2 is still happening, it will likely be Monday or Tuesday next week.
The only Friday/Saturday/Sunday iOS update I recall was quite a few years ago (a patch for iOS 11 or 12, perhaps) that came out on Saturday morning US Eastern time due to an imminent daylight saving time bug that would have presented that weekend.
This is the second article they posted claiming 26.0.2 was coming this week. Guesser is 2 weeks off apparently.
"iOS 26.0.2 Update for iPhones Coming Soon" means, there never was a final stable release of iOS 26. It is still beta.
But I believe the problems have increased greatly since Covid and “remote working”. People need to be in the office together for software builds/fixes-sharing ideas to fix all these bugs..
I am very disappointed in Apple, knowing how buggy iOS 26 and watchOS 26 have been, not getting biweekly updates out the door right now to stabilize and deal with some of the more onerous bugs. We really needed a 26.0.2 by now -- it has been over a month since the initial release. Not being able to swipe down messages on Apple Watch to mark them read is driving me mad.
But as time rolls on, it is looking more and more likely that 26.1 will reach RC next week and likely GA on Nov 10 or 11. With only a week and a half presumably left to wait, I doubt there will be an iOS 26.0.2.

The entire “26” team at the corporate spaceship needs to be placed on reassignment duty on premise at iApple Antarctica
I think right now it appears Apple is rolling all the bug fixes into iOS 26.1, which may go into Release Candidate as early as tomorrow.
Your situation sounds more functional than mine.
I alternate between 2 Series 11 cellular watches. On both:
< pic 1> - When I try to tap the "Lost my iPhone" button to make the sound, I just see this . No sound plays.
< pic 2 > - I can't use either of the 2 Series 11s to make phone calls OR send messages.
Either
a - Tapping on the iPhone App shows the "recents" and keypad, but I can't actually make calls
b - I just see the green Phone icon with the swirly-digger white dots moving for a while
3 - When I set a timer on either watch, it disappears. Never goes off.
It's statistically improbable this is caused by a hardware problem on both watches, right?
I was hoping this next dot release would fix these problems.
