iOS 26 beta 6 version is already here for iPhone users

The iOS 26 beta updates are coming in thick and fast as Apple sets the countdown for the big iPhone 17 launch next month. The latest iOS 26 beta 6 version is rolling out for eligible iPhone users this week, who are again seeing a more stable iOS 26 version along with minor changes/additions to the platform for the users.

With every new beta update we are getting close to the public release which will be confirmed by the company in the next few weeks. If you have downloaded the iOS 26 beta earlier, the beta 6 version will feel iterative but equally important for the evolving nature of the platform. 

iOS 26 Beta 6 Update: What It Brings 

More Ringtones 

Apple continues to sell new ringtones as a big point, so much that people highlight it with the new features. The company has added new versions to the Reflection ringtone such as Buoyant, Tech, Pop and Surge among others. And there is a new Little Bird ringtone added to the mix. 

Liquid Glass Effect For More Places 

The toggle button and even the lockscreen UI now sees a different shade of the Liquid Glass design that focuses on being more transparent than before. You also see it work on the passcode screen as well as the navigation bar with updated highlights. 

Apps Work Faster 

The apps now work faster when you open or close them. Many iPhone users have highlighted the change in speed with posts on social media and it seems most people have mentioned it in their list. Performance stability is understandably getting better and the new UI should benefit from it 

More Changes Noticed 

There is a new video that explains the iOS 26 Liquid Glass design changes which probably makes sense. The company has removed the toggle button to activate the classic mode for the camera. 

It is clear that the beta update 6 is a lot lighter than version 5 which has more significant changes, including battery alert on the dynamic island, new AirDrop icon and new Wi-Fi labels.
