Apple is expected to release their iOS 26 beta 5 in September 2025 for developers. The all new beta is built on 23A5308g, which comes with several updates which include bug problems and enhance the system performance and reliability. To make your device updated the user has to be a registered Apple developer, then goes to the software update option into apps settings. This update enhances the liquid glass look and puts in updates in apps like camera and mail.
This time Apple iOS 26 beta is to sew up the bug problem and enhance the system performance and reliability but come up with less features, as compared to beta 4 which launched 4 months before beta 5. The beta 5 is also geared up with a bigger Apple watch Ultra 3 screen. The developers come along with requests to give feedback so it will prevent the problems and errors in the final release and make it faultless.
Camera
The new camera app setting is geared up with a new option of switching camera which allows the user to shift camera from regular direction to scrolling down like to the older ios version. This update is for the photographer to enhance their experience with work flow but also allows users to get the previous version of the camera setting.
AirDrop
With its liquid glass theme Apple also upgraded their AirDrop icon to enhance their new glass theme. Beta 5 also came up with a new animation effect for music controls on lock screen and bouncy animation effect on passcode entry.
Wi-Fi and Siri
For Wi-Fi it came up with updates like synchronized login credentials for public wifi, which allows users to link their device with public wifi with the same Apple ID and prevent entering login details repeatedly across multiple devices. For Siri they improve the assistant feature which comes with new features like travel suggestions, report information about delays in public transport and more.
The mail interface also came up with a new option for selection of mail without even tapping on the three dots menu. For this they introduce a new select button on the top which lets you do that, although this is little convenient but helps in faster email management.
Apple Ultra 3 Watch hint
It can be expected that beta will come along with an improvement in Apple Ultra 3 Watch which may include a bit bigger display of 1.98 inch at 422×502 pixels and with increased size up to 3.1 per cent.
