iOS 26 beta 2 fixes two of the most annoying iPhone bugs
I installed iOS 26 beta 1 the second it came out after WWDC 2025, and the experience has been great overall. All the apps still worked, the OS was stable, and the new Liquid Glass design was something else. Sure, battery life took a hit, which is always the case for early iOS beta releases, but iOS 26 beta 1 was still good enough to run on a daily driver.
I was also quick to warn you not to install iOS 26 beta 1 on your iPhone until you saw what the new user interface looks like. Liquid Glass brings transparency and light effects across the board, paving the way for the AR/AI smart glasses that Apple is reportedly working on. While transparency is required on smart glasses, the iPhone can benefit from better contrast and some opacity in iOS 26.
I also explained the various issues in iOS 26 that Apple has to fix before the operating system’s public launch in September.
Fast forward to June 23, and Apple has released the next version of “26” betas on all its operating systems. In addition to new features, Apple has already fixed the transparency issues that most people criticized after the first round of betas.
Specifically, iOS 26 beta 2 fixes the way Control Center and Notifications look on iPhone. The same Liquid Glass updates are available on all of Apple’s devices, but it’s the iPhone where it matters most.
