5 Android-like features coming to iPhones with iOS 26 update
Apple officially unveiled the awaited iOS 26 update that brings new features and user experiences to iPhones. While new design, features, and upgrades look promising, there are some iOS 26 features which we have already seen earlier in Android-based devices. Well, it's not a secret that Apple is accused of copying Android-like features of its operating system over the years. However, this year Apple takes a greater notch with more Android-like features for iOS 26. At WWDC25, we spotted about 5 crucial iOS 26 features, such as Call Screening, Hold Assist, Visual Intelligence on-screen search ability, and more, that were inspired by Google's Android versions. However, these new features add greater value to the iPhone and can come in handy in day-to-day activities. Know in detail about the Android-like features announced with iOS 26.

Hold Assist: This feature resembles Pixel's 'Hold for Me' feature. This feature simply recognises hold music and messages, and notifies the user when the call is picked up by the agent or person. Now Apple brings 'Hold Assist' to iOS 26, which does a similar job, saving iPhone users from boring hold music and pre-recorded messages. 4. Live Translation: Google has been offering live translation services for some time now, enabling users to translate text and even voice. Now, after a year of launching Apple Intelligence, the company has finally brought live translation to Messages, FaceTime, and the Phone app to communicate in several languages. 5. Visited places on Maps: Apple Maps will now include a new tool known as 'Visited Places' that will include a list of places users have visited. This feature is similar to Google Maps Timeline, allowing users to get access to their frequently visited places in one place and open directions seamlessly. While these are some Android-like features of iOS 26. However, Apple has also included some features to Messages that resemble WhatsApp. New Messages features include polls in group chats, background customisation, and others, which are already available in the Meta-owned instant messaging platform. Therefore, we can say that iOS 26 is inspired by several services and Android in general to provide a seamless user experience.

iPhone camera app will now look completely new with iOS 26- Here's what's changing
Apple has once again reshaped the way iPhone users capture moments with a major update to the Camera app in iOS 26. The company unveiled the changes during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), where it revealed a fresh approach aimed at simplifying the user experience. This update arrives as Apple shifts from the iOS 19 naming scheme to iOS 26, set to roll out to the public this September. Here's a detailed look at the new Camera interface and what it means for users. The core change in the Camera app centres around prioritising the most frequently used modes: Photo and Video. Instead of displaying a crowded array of options on the main screen, these two modes take centre stage to make capturing images or videos simple. Other specialised modes such as Cinematic, Portrait, and Slow-Motion remain available but now sit just a swipe away, either to the left or right. This swipe-based navigation reduces on-screen clutter while keeping options accessible. Also read: Adobe launches the Photoshop Beta app for Android smartphones: Everything you need to know Within each mode, users can swipe up to access relevant settings like Exposure, Timer, and Aperture. Apple has moved resolution and frame rate controls to the top of the screen alongside toggles for Flash and Night Mode. Holding down these icons opens expanded menus, which will provide deeper control without overwhelming the main interface. This new layout reflects Apple's effort to balance simplicity and advanced functionality in one streamlined view. The redesigned Camera app already appears in the iOS 26 developer beta, offering a glimpse of the smoother experience ahead. While it functions much like the current app, the navigation feels faster and less crowded. For example, switching between resolutions or toggling Night Mode now requires fewer taps and feels more intuitive.

The new version organises content into two main tabs at the bottom: Library and Collections. The Library holds all photos on the device, while the Collections groups photos by albums or folders. Though the core functions remain similar to the current app, the cleaner layout aims to improve navigation and ease of use. Also read: Microsoft CEO says OpenAI alliance changing but remains strong Moreover, the tech giant also revealed a new '3D Photos' feature, designed to add a holographic effect to pictures. This tool promises to add a new dimension to iPhone photography, though it remains to be seen how it performs in everyday use.
