iOS 26.2 Rolls Out with Apple Music Upgrades, Liquid Glass Customization, AirDrop Security, Emergency Alert Enhancements

Apple released iOS 26.2 for iPhone 11 and newer devices, delivering updates across macOS, iPadOS, visionOS, and watchOS with Apple Music changes and a fix for playback problems on pre-release albums.
The playback problem surfaced during Taylor Swift's album release, as a bug made pre-release albums in Apple Music unplayable at launch, prompting complaints from Apple Music users and Swifties.
Apple Music now surfaces Favorite Songs playlist inside Top Picks on the Home tab and adds offline lyrics for downloaded songs, noted as an advantage over Spotify.
Apple says the update fixes the playback issue, ensuring future pre-saved albums, including Taylor Swift's, should be playable at release and addressing Apple Music users' complaints.
IOS 26.2 includes the Podcasts update announced last month, adding auto-generated chapters and timed links, while tvOS 26.2 adds profiles and age-restriction tools, plus AirPods live translation arrives in the EU after earlier regulatory delay.
