Apple‘s iOS 26 is on the horizon, and a series of leaks have garnered significant attention from users. These early reports give users a glimpse of what to expect when Apple officially unveils the next version of iOS. Now, many are curious to know more about the leaks.
Apple iOS 26 leaks tease new features
As Apple prepares to reveal iOS 26, some interesting new features have leaked ahead of the official announcement. While much of the buzz surrounds a big redesign, smaller updates are also expected to improve everyday apps.
Messages – The Messages app may feature a real-time translation. This would allow incoming messages written in a foreign language to be instantly translated using Apple’s built-in AI tools, providing a smoother experience for multilingual conversations.
Additionally, Messages may gain the ability to create in-chat polls. Users may soon be able to generate polls directly in group chats, with Apple Intelligence helping to draft poll options based on the context of the conversation.
Apple Music – Apple Music might also see a visual boost. Leaks suggest that animated album artwork will be extended to the Lock Screen in full-screen mode, replacing the current static square display. This change would offer a more dynamic and immersive Now Playing experience.
Notes – The Notes app could receive a productivity-focused upgrade. A long-requested option to export notes in Markdown format may finally become available. This much-requested feature would allow notes to be saved in plain-text format with formatting intact. This would be a valuable addition for users who prefer flexible formatting and use external editors.
CarPlay – Lastly, CarPlay appears to be getting its own design changes. Though not previously mentioned in leaks, the in-car software is now rumored to adopt the same design language as the rest of Apple’s OS ecosystem.
Apple is expected to announce all major platform updates on June 9.
