Chance Miller for 9to5Mac:
> iOS 26.4 beta 1 is now available in beta for developers. The update includes a ton of new features and changes for iPhone users. There are new changes to the Music app, Messages, Apple Podcasts, and much more. Head below for the full roundup of all the new features in iOS 26.4 beta 1.
I’ve always relied on 9to5Mac’s roundup of features found in iOS beta updates. After a rather boring 26.3 update, it looks like iOS 26.4 has a handful of exciting features.
I’m most looking forward to encrypted RCS messaging, Apple Music Playlist Playground and improved Sleep and Vitals data in the Health app.
The update is now available through Apple’s public beta program, if you don’t want to wait for the official release.
