iOS 26 beta 6 update: Apple has released the sixth developer beta of its iOS 26 operating system. Along with this, new updates have also been released for iPados, Watchos, Macos and TVOS. According to reports, the final version of iOS 26 will be launched in September which will include many new features, design changes and performance improvements.

Six new ringtones

The largest surprise of BETA 6 is to be added to six new ringtones which are based on the pre -existing ‘Reflection’ tone. Of these, the ‘Dreamer’ variant is the most discussed on social media, where users are calling it “amazing”.

Change in camera app

In the earlier beta version, Apple changed the swipe direction in the camera mode switcher, which broke users’ muscle memory and was not matching the behavior of other Apple apps. In BETA 5, the company added a “Classic Mode” togle, which made it possible to return to the old gesture. But BETA testers were not even satisfied with this, so in Beta 6, Apple removed this togle and brought back the old swipe gesture directly so that no settings are needed.

The new Liquid Glass of iOS 26 has been improved in Visual Design Beta 6.
