"Apple has released iOS 26.2, bringing a number of new convenience features and security updates. The update includes auto-generated chapters for episodes in the Podcasts app, the option to make AirDrop more secure using verification codes, alarms for Reminders and more. It also introduces new controls for how Liquid Glass appears on the Lock Screen, adding a slider to adjust the transparency level. The drop also includes updates for iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS and tvOS."
"It's not exactly a major update feature-wise, but iOS and iPadOS 26.2 bring a bunch of quality of life improvements to apps including Apple Music, Podcasts and Games. In Apple Music, you'll now see your Favorite Songs playlist in the Top Picks section, and lyrics will be available offline for songs you've downloaded. In addition to automatically generated chapters, Podcasts will display links to any other podcasts mentioned in the episode you're listening to."
"With iOS 26.2, Apple made Safety Alerts for natural disasters and other emergencies more detailed, and they'll now come with maps of affected areas and other useful information. For iPad users, Apple has added drag-and-drop gestures for its new windowing system to make multitasking smoother. The update for iPhones and iPads also addresses several potential security issues, including vulnerabilities in WebKit that Apple says "may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals on versions of iOS before iOS 26.""
iOS 26.2 delivers convenience features, interface controls and security updates for iPhone and iPad. Podcasts gains auto-generated chapters and links to other podcasts mentioned in episodes. Apple Music shows Favorite Songs in Top Picks and offers offline lyrics for downloaded tracks. Games adds in-game score banners, library filters and improved controller support for Backbone and Razer. AirDrop can use verification codes for increased security. Reminders can trigger alarms, and the Lock Screen Liquid Glass effect gains a transparency slider. The release also enhances Safety Alerts with maps and addresses WebKit vulnerabilities tied to targeted attacks.
