iOS 26.2 is the next anticipated Apple software update, expected to be released at some point this month. Among the new features mentioned by MacRumors and Forbes for 26.2 are the ability to set an alarm for reminders, see lyrics in Apple Music offline, and new features for AirDrop and CarPlay.

Apple continues expanding its new design language across the system, and the Measure app is the latest to get the Liquid Glass treatment. With iOS 26.2, the app’s controls, buttons, and panels adopt the same translucent, fluid look introduced earlier this year. The interface feels more consistent with the rest of iOS.

Apple's iOS 26.2 update is now available to all, with new one-time AirDrop codes, more toggles for Liquid Glass, and improvements to system apps. Here's what's new.

Tap on the lock screen clock, and you’re able to switch between Glass (Liquid Glass) and Solid (no transparency). Even if you keep Liquid Glass in place, you get a slider underneath the color and font options, which lets you adjust the transparency of the effect. When you’re happy with how it looks, tap outside the pop-up dialog, then tap Done.

Apple is about to release an update for every iPhone that can run iOS 26, for users who don’t want it. And it’s probably the last chance to avoid iOS 26.
