It seems that iOS 26 has just fallen, and yet Apple is back with another update. On Monday, iOS 26.1 is officially in beta tests, which means that the developers and public testers can try the next Apple update early.

The “occasional updates” like iOS 26.1 are never as full of features as the main versions, although 26.1 seems particularly low. Apple seems to have done most of what he planned to do with iOS 26, saving smaller changes for this update update. However, there are new interesting additions in this latest beta version, and others could come in the following outings. This is what is new.

Apple music gestures

If you want to jump a song in Apple Music, you press the front button. If you want to return to the previous song or restart the current song, you press the rear button. With iOS 26.1, however, you will be able to slide to switch between the songs.

In the current beta version, you can slide right and left on the game bar now to switch in both directions in your queue. With him, Apple has deleted the Skip Forward button from the reading bar now. (The rear button was not present.) It is a small but cool feature, but which could take some time to get used to it.

Video reading bar

In the current version of iOS 26, the video reading bar in the Photos Application is hunting with the user interface. You might like it or hate it, but it can be a little difficult to do it, depending on the video in question. The reading button and the Mute button, for example, can disappear when iOS cannot change their colors to stand out from the background.

IOS 26.1 BETA 1, however, presents a new video reading bar separate from the user interface. It looks good and is easy to see at all times. Again, a small change, but intelligent.

Live translation languages

Live translation for Airpods is a new fantastic feature that automatically translates the conversations you have with someone who speaks a language that you do not understand. As long as you have an iPhone 15 pro or more recent, as well as Airpods Pro 2, Airpod Pro 3 or Airpods 5 with active noise cancellation, you have been able to try it since the launch of iOS 26.

Apple initially deployed support for the French, Germans, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish (Spain), but plans to extend the list to the future. With iOS 26.1, he adds four new options, in particular:

• Chinese (Mandarin, simplified)

• Chinese (Mandarin, Traditional)

• Italian

• Japanese

• Korean

Eight new languages ​​for Apple Intelligence

Users with an iPhone 15 pro and more recent, listen: Apple Intelligence supports eight new languages ​​in iOS 26.1. Since this first beta version, which includes the following:

• Chinese (traditional)

• Danish

• Dutch

• Norwegian

• Portuguese (Portugal)

• Swedish

• Turkish

• Vietnamese

Liquid glass arrives on the phone keyboard

Liquid glass, the new Apple design language, is not everywhere In iOS 26. Although a large part of the user interface now has a glassy look, some elements still look like iOS 18 and earlier. The telephone application keyboard was an example: although the application itself was very modified with this update, go to the keyboard and it never looks alike.

This changes with iOS 26.1. The beta version brings liquid glass to the keyboard, which, although in accordance with most designs of iOS 26, a little reduces the visibility of the keys, especially in light mode. I would not be surprised to see an Apple workshop a bit.

Calendar

Whenever you have a calendar in the list of the list in iOS 26.1, you will see your daily events coded by their respective calendars, rather than simply listed on the same white background.

References to third -party smartwatch support

If you have an iPhone, you know the only smartwatch that Really Works well with the Apple Watch. Some watches offer notification support, but most are simply not well with iOS.

This could change in the future. The code within the beta iOS 26.1 refers to a new “notification transfer” feature, which could allow you to choose a third -party device to send your iPhone alerts. In addition, an unfinished “accessoryexpension” option could be the frame that allows you to twin a third party watch on your iPhone.

These are just references in the code, not something that you can test actively in the beta 26.1 version, but it is worth noting. Apple is experimenting with the management of third -party watches on iOS, although it is simply to appease the “law on digital markets” of the EU.
