Apple has rolled out the sixth developer beta of iOS 26, introducing fresh ringtones, speedier app launches, and a key change to the Camera app ahead of the software’s September public release.
What’s New in iOS 26 Beta 6
Six New Ringtones: All based on the popular “Reflection” tone, with “Dreamer” already trending online for its upbeat vibe.
Camera App Reversal: Apple has scrapped its controversial swipe direction change after user backlash, restoring the familiar interface and removing the “Classic Mode” toggle added in beta 5.
Snappier App Launches: New open and close animations make transitions faster and smoother.
Liquid Glass UI Tweaks: Enhanced color dispersion, refined tab selector effects, and updated Lock Screen visuals.
New Onboarding Experience: Walks users through iOS 26 features, including redesigned icons and refreshed app interfaces.
Performance & Stability
Testers report that beta 6 feels more stable and responsive than earlier builds, though minor bugs may still appear as Apple fine-tunes the system.
The update is now available for developers, with a public beta release expected soon.
