two weeks after releasing the first iOS
0:02
26 developer beta Apple has seated
0:04
developer beta 2 with a bunch of small
0:07
but very important tweaks here is how
0:14
so first and foremost Apple has
0:16
addressed some of the legibility
0:18
concerns the bottom tab bar which is
0:20
made of the glass material and floats
0:22
over the content was criticized in beta
0:25
1 for not being very legible but it
0:27
seems that in beta 2 they've increased
0:30
its opacity made it a little more
0:32
frosted to keep the glass look but
0:34
increase some contrast
0:37
however this change is only in the light
0:39
appearance mode dark mode is still the
0:42
same as before but this might change
0:45
again in beta 3 control center is much
0:48
more opaque than before which should
0:49
help its legibility on all kinds of
0:51
backgrounds a few changes come to Safari
0:54
when you're on the tab overview screen
0:56
the new tab button has been moved to the
0:58
bottom making it easier to reach with
1:00
one hand when you're browsing with the
1:03
compact toolbar layout and you go back a
1:06
page you now have a forward button as
1:08
well when you're cleaning up your tabs
1:11
you can now long press on the address
1:12
bar to close the current tab even when
1:15
it's the only tab left and finally Apple
1:18
has changed the layout and design of the
1:19
more menu the stock iOS 26 wallpaper now
1:23
has a motion effect when you tilt and
1:25
wiggle your phone in your hand although
1:28
it's only available on newer iPhones and
1:31
only on the lock screen it doesn't have
1:33
the same motion effect on your home
1:35
screen there's a new version of the
1:37
reflections ringtone it doesn't have its
1:40
own name yet it's just called alt one
1:43
but this is likely to change in later
1:54
for those of you who listen to live
1:55
radio all both of you there is a new
1:59
live radio widget in Apple Music for
2:02
easy access to up to six radio stations
2:05
from either your home screen or lock
2:07
screen as previously announced at WWDC
2:10
the Wallet app is now much more useful
2:12
as a package tracker it'll scan through
2:15
your email and put all of the tracking
2:17
numbers it can find into this one screen
2:20
personally I haven't ordered anything
2:22
recently but I am told it is there in
2:24
the search tab in the phone app when you
2:26
type in someone's name it'll now show
2:29
you all your recent calls with them
2:31
voicemails and their contact information
2:34
at the very bottom i still think this
2:37
should be reordered i feel like showing
2:38
their contact information should be at
2:40
the top but it's a step in the right
2:42
direction in battery settings Apple
2:44
updated the description of low power
2:46
mode to be more explicit about the
2:48
background features that it affects as
2:51
well like 5G iCloud syncing mail fetch
2:55
and more last and certainly not least
2:57
the settings app has been updated with a
2:59
slightly denser user interface now you
3:02
can see the general line item peeking
3:05
from above the search button whereas
3:07
before in beta 1 it was hiding behind it
3:10
so this is an improvement but still a
3:13
step down compared to iOS 18 where you
3:15
could see the top four line items of the
3:18
second section above the bottom of the
3:20
screen so hopefully Apple will continue
3:22
to tweak this as development carries on
3:24
so those are all the significant changes
3:26
we found in iOS 26 beta 2 remember to
3:29

3:31
