Apple Seeds Fourth Public Betas of iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1 and macOS Tahoe 26.1

by

Apple today provided public beta testers with the fourth releases of upcoming iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, macOS Tahoe 26.1, tvOS 26.1 and watchOS 26.1 updates for testing purposes. Apple seeded the betas to developers earlier today.

iOS 26
After signing up for beta testing on Apple's beta site, public beta testers can download the updates using the Software Update section in the Settings app on each device.

iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, and ‌macOS Tahoe‌ 26.1 expand Apple Intelligence to new languages, including Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Portuguese (Portugal), Swedish, Turkish, Chinese (Traditional), and Vietnamese.

AirPods Live Translation is also available in Japanese, Korean, Italian, and Chinese (both Mandarin Traditional and Simplified) in iOS 26.

With the fourth beta, Apple added an option to reduce the transparency of Liquid Glass, and a toggle to turn off opening the camera with a swipe from the Lock Screen.

There are a few other minor changes to apps like Photos, Music, the Apple TV app, and Phone in iOS 26.1, with details available in our iOS 26.1 features guide.

Now that they've taken care of the accidentally opening the camera nuisance, can they do something about being able to switch lock screens by accident. Half the time I take my phone out of my pocket I press the screen too long and end up in setup mode.

This tells me 26 should never had been released when it was as a new OS but should have been left in beta……until "26.1" was ready to go out

Double-tap on the e-mail "preview" in the left-hand pane.
That leaves me with all these emails in a open windows. I'll have to find out how to close them, because there is no close button.
Why would they remove a much used functionality so you have to do several extras clickd to do something similar?
That minimize list button was not hurting anyone!

Does Tahoe 26.1 let you adjust those awful rounded window corners?

This is the first release of macOS for which I've never installed. I'll stick with Sequoia until the very end and hope that they learn from the error of their ways within a couple of OS releases.

First time I’m updating iOS to a public beta because I personally can’t stand Liquid Glass. Switching to tinted ASAP. Each to their own.
