Exclusive: iOS 26 to bring new features for Messages, CarPlay, and more


Based on information shared with 9to5Mac, here are five features that have flown under the radar and that might be announced on Monday.

And while much of the spotlight will probably shine on the visual overhaul, 9to5Mac has learned that Apple has also been quietly preparing a handful of enhancements to everyday apps like Messages, Music, Notes, and even CarPlay. And while Apple probably won’t be launching FaceTime instant dubbing like Google Meet or Microsoft Teams just yet, it’s working on the next best thing: automatic translation of both incoming and outgoing messages. With AI reportedly playing a smaller role this year, the spotlight will likely fall on design refreshes, and long-time wishlist picks like better window management support on the iPad.
