Apple to roll out iOS 26.5 next week; 5 new features coming to iPhone
Apple will release iOS 26.5 next week, adding changes to Apple Maps, Messages, the App Store, Reminders and wallpapers. Apple Maps will show recommended places when users tap the search bar. Messages will add beta support for end-to-end encryption for RCS, though not all carriers will offer it immediately. The App Store will support a 12-month commitment paid monthly in most countries, excluding the United States and Singapore.
