Apple Details iOS 26 Features Like Call Screening, Live Translation, AutoMix, and More

Finally a guide that doesn't list Liquid Glass as a feature. It's a design, but it doesn't do anything. (Except demonstrate that some of Apple's design employees should find a different field. I'm looking at you who ever swaped center alignment of pin entry windows to left alignment.)

Is call screening working for you all? I toggled it on immediately and the next day got two calls that came through and werent screened.

It looks like ass with a dark background, and on my 16 pro max sometimes when I unlock my phone, the app icons won’t load until after the animation completes. Clear blobs that pop in with color afterwards. Don’t you love change for the sake of change?

Awful. Hate it.

Apple is stubborn as can be, so our only long term hope is that they get lots of backlash and relent a bit.

Honestly, I'm just worried there is nobody there anymore who's actually good at functional, usable, practical design.

It's like their design teams are being led by folks who like to turn all the layer effects in Photoshop just because.

The only reason I want to upgrade to IOS 26 is call screening...bummer.

Am I in the minority that doesn't care about call screening? My unknown callers get silenced. If they don't leave a voicemail, they don't get called back. Is that too primitive these days?

There are people who use their phones for work and have to take calls from numbers not in their contacts. This feature can help them filter out the robo calls and other undesirable calls.

This also helps in non-work cases, like a business you want to talk to using a different number, not yet saved to your contacts. Perfect example, I currently have I believe six numbers which show up for my alarm monitoring company.

I just wish Apple would explain in the Call Screening article the difference between these two settings. They seem to be the same.
