How to install the iOS 26 public beta
People with Apple developer accounts have had all the fun with the iOS 26 beta so far (and yes, if you missed it, there's a new naming system now), but now that the public betas are out, anyone can try the new features. Setting up the public beta is slightly less involved than setting up the developer beta but just as free. And if you're looking for help with the iPadOS 26 beta, you're in the right place: the setup process is the same. You should understand what you're getting when you try a beta, though. For one, you won't get all the new features at once; many of them will come later. Also, the fun of trying early features comes with the thrill of potential stability issues and excessive battery drain. And it's rare these days, but Apple's betas can break things, so be sure to back up your data before installing the beta. There's a new design language called Liquid Glass, which means that you won't be looking at a lot of items on your screen, but rather looking through them. There's already some negative feedback on it, so Apple has made some changes from the developer version. Other improvements include updates to group chats, a call screening feature, and live translation, among 26 and iPadOS 26 will work with these devices: Getting set up to run the beta is a straightforward process. (And, as mentioned at the top, all of these steps work for iPadOS 26, too.) And you're done!Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.

Your Apple Watch will soon alert you when its battery is running out faster than usual
Apple is introducing a smart new battery monitoring feature to the Apple Watch. This new feature will arrive with the upcoming watchOS 26 update and will notify users when their watch is consuming power faster than usual. Along with the notification, the feature will also provide quick access to battery-saving settings, allowing users to switch to Low Power Mode or make other adjustments before the device runs out of battery. advertisementAs spotted by 9to5Mac, this new feature in watchOS 26 works by analysing the long-term usage patterns of a user's Apple Watch and comparing them with its current battery performance. If the watch detects that the battery is draining significantly faster than the historical average—say, reaching 50 per cent by 7 PM when it's typically closer to 75 per cent—it will send a proactive alert. This notification will reportedly not only flag the anomaly but also provide users with a direct shortcut to enable Low Power Mode, helping them extend the remaining charge until they can connect to a report notes that this feature will not rely on generic benchmarks; instead, it learns from how the user typically uses their device.

This feature will use real-time sensor data to offer personalised encouragement during fitness sessions and can even highlight performance milestones, such as the user's fastest mile. The watch will send motivational phrases generated by Fitness+ trainers and can disable voice feedback if users prefer a quieter is also enhancing the Smart Stack, the Watch's layered widget system, starting with watchOS 26.
