Everything New in iOS 26.1 Beta 2

The updates add new language support to Apple Intelligence and Live Translation and include bug fixes and features ahead of regulatory smartwatch support deadlines.

  • Apple released the second 26.1 betas for developers on October 08, 2025, including iOS 26.1 beta 2 and macOS Tahoe 26.1 beta 2, following the first betas two weeks earlier.
  • Following initial 26.1 tests, engineers sped a second beta out as Apple addresses iPhone 17 camera and Wi‑Fi bugs while preparing third‑party smartwatch support for European Commission rules by June 2026.
  • Beta notes show several interface changes including iOS 26.1 beta 2 restoring the Slide to Stop gesture, adding Apple Intelligence languages, and returning iPad Slide Over multitasking.
  • Developers can install the betas via Settings app > General > Software Update on compatible devices, with Apple expecting the public 26.1 release later this month for iPhone 11 and iPhone SE 2nd gen.
  • With these betas Apple appears to ready devices for third‑party LLMs and third‑party smartwatch support to satisfy European Commission rules by June 2026.
