While the big iOS 26 features, including ones that Apple borrowed from others, got everyone talking, some of the most exciting updates have gotten a lot less attention. Here are three dozen of my favorites.
36 of the best under-the-radar features in iOS 26
Credit: AppleCustom snooze length for alarms: If you want to snooze for more or less than the standard nine minutes, this feature could be really useful.
Enhance Dialogue: This feature should mean Apple Podcasts can boost vocals in podcasts and suppress background noises. All of the best podcast apps must have this feature.
Communication requests: Screen Time could be getting support for requests to use messaging apps. This may allow parents to better regulate who their children are talking to.
Rich entry layout: The Journal app is getting a better layout for starting a new entry, but we don't quite know what that is yet.
Lens cleaning hint: If your iPhone or iPad's camera lens is dirty, iOS 26's Camera app will ask you to clean it.
Auto-Categorize: Reminders will be able to automatically sort your to-dos.
Safety Check while blocking a contact: Safety Check removes other people's access to shared iPhone data, such as your location. Apple seems to be adding Safety Check prompts when you block a contact as another way to ensure your safety.
Relevant video thumbnails in search results: Based on this description, it looks like search results in Photos may now include specific parts of a video that are relevant to the search term.
Braille Access: A braille note taker is coming to your iPhone.
Easier controller pairing: Apple's making it easy to pair gaming controllers with your iPhone and iPad.
Select partial text in a bubble: In iOS 18, the Messages app lets you copy an entire text you've sent or received, but it doesn't allow you to select a part of the message. That's about to change with iOS 26.
Multiscript keyboard for Arabic/English: For easier switching between the two languages.
Natural language search: It might be easier to search in Messages. Natural language could let you narrow down searches even if you don't remember the correct search operators.
Password history: Apple Passwords will remember older passwords used with any login item.
Estimated time to charge: This tells you how long you need to wait until your iPhone's battery is fully charged.
Export Notes to Markdown: Apple Notes is gaining support for Markdown exports.
Screen sharing and SharePlay on a phone call: It looks like these features are no longer exclusive to FaceTime calls.
Block list in Settings: This appears to be an improvement to the way blocked contacts are handled.
New incident report types in Maps: When you want to report an incident in Apple Maps, you'll find more report types in the app in iOS 26.
