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.
Following the public release of iOS 26.1 on November 3, Apple has deployed its next major operating system update. iOS 26.2 builds upon many of the user interface enhancements and features previewed at WWDC 2025.
As a whole, iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 introduced numerous changes, with the most visible being Apple’s controversial “Liquid Glass” design language.
The following update, iOS 26.1, included additional toggles for existing system features, along with new customization settings for Liquid Glass.
With iOS 26.2, Apple delivered even more personalization options for the Liquid Glass material, which has since made its way to the Measure app.

Liquid Glass is now more versatile than ever, thanks to yet another dedicated toggle. This time, however, it’s more precise.
