"The latest iOS 26.1 beta hints at a new "notification forwarding" feature that could surface iPhone notifications on a non-Apple device or accessory, as spotted by Macworld. Code seen by Macworld suggests that users would only be able to forward notifications to one device at a time, while a new "AccessoryExtension" framework could improve the pairing process with third-party accessories as well."
"It's still too early to tell how these features will work, but they seem related to an order from the European Commission that will force Apple to make iPhones work better with non-Apple accessories. To comply with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), Apple is required to give developers and device manufacturers access to certain features that will make it easier to pair, transfer data, and display notifications between the iPhone and third-party devices, such as smartwatches, headphones, and speakers."

Apple must open most of these features by the end of the year, with regional availability and timing unclear.
