The update fixes a few bugs, including one that affected iCloud data syncing in select apps.\n\niOS 26.5 is in beta. The update lays the groundwork for Apple Maps ads and end-to-end encryption for RCS messages in the Messages app, but it is a minor update overall as Apple starts to shift its attention towards iOS 27.\n\nRelated Roundups: iOS 26, iPadOS 26\n\nRelated Forum: iOS 26\n\n\nThis article, \"iOS 26.4.2 Update for iPhones is Coming Soon\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
