The new iOS 26.2 version is available for beta testers as Apple looks to finetune the update before the full release comes through for all the eligible iPhone users. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We already know the whole feature list that the iOS 26.2 update will be offering when it releases later this month so Apple gives the go ahead for the RC update and that will be a compilation of everything that we have seen in the last few weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 26.2 Release Candidate Update: How To Install<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">To get the new RC update, you can go through the usual process:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Go to Settings <\/span><\/li>\n<li>Tap on General<\/li>\n<li>Scroll down to Software update<\/li>\n<li>Check for the new iOS 26.2 RC update<\/li>\n<li>Authenticate the install with your passcode<\/li>\n<li>Reboot the iPhone to get the new RC version<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">If you have been running the previous iOS 26 beta versions then the iOS 26.2 RC download size will be around 8GB so make sure you have enough space for the update. The other big point to remember is that beta versions can be buggy so people are advised not to install them on a primary device.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 26.2 Release Candidate Update Out: What It Offers<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The iOS 26.2 RC update has all the features locked in and most of the bugs have been fixed but these versions tend to carry some level bugs which Apple can start working on with the next update. Here\u2019s a list of the features that Apple is bringing with the iOS 26.2 RC update and eventually to all the users:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><em>New Way To AirDrop<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Apple is testing a new way to AirDrop files between and you don\u2019t need to add the contact for 30 days. After that, the company is obviously going to demand more details before a file transmission is done wirelessly between two devices. This is being tested with the new iOS 26.2 beta 3 and should be available in the AirDrop part of Settings on iPhone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><em>Move Beyond Siri<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The company is also said to be testing the option to use other third-party voice assistants than Siri on iPhones. This feature could be limited to Japan where the regulator has demanded strict changes to its policies of allowing other platforms to thrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><em>Messages In CarPlay<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">You can actually disable the pinned messages features on iPhone from within the CarPlay settings. This might not sound like a big deal and giving more power to users in the car has its value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><em>Sleep Score Alterations<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"15\" class=\"story_para_15\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Apple has changed the score metrics for sleeping which many people thought was lenient. So instead of Excellent, the highest standard score for Sleep is now going to be very high which will be 95 or or points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"16\" class=\"story_para_16\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><em>AirPods Live Translation In More Regions<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"17\" class=\"story_para_17\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Apple got live translation with AirPods Pro 3 earlier this year but users in EU regions could finally get their version in December once the iOS 26.2 update rolls out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"18\" class=\"story_para_18\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Besides these, the list has tweaks to the Liquid Glass transparency level, new look Apple News app and Measures app design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"19\" class=\"story_para_19\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We are hoping to see the iOS 26.2 update roll out in the next few weeks and Apple is likely to have them loaded with more features. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfd\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfdbtn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/dlxczavtqcctuei\/news18\/static\/images\/english\/google-color.svg\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" alt=\"\" class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\"\/><span class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\">Click here to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-2714599291 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-2714599291 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 05, 2025, 07:40 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-2714599291 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> iOS 26.2 Release Candidate Update Is Now Available For Beta Users: What You Get<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
