In the WWDC of 2025 Apple gave us a list of all of the latest features that are going to come with the launch of iOS 26. Many updates such as travel friendly features of Wallet group chat and call screening are going to be available in the apps. Some of the updates have Apple Intelligence such as life translation. Other updates are going to bring the tabs off Apple photos back in business. It will make the Apple devices easier to use.

There will be a cold screening which will help you understand the nature of the call long before you pick it up. Which means if you get a call from a number which is unknown to you the call screening option will answer with complete silence in the background. It will only let your phone ring when the caller shares his reason for the call and name. After the iPhone rings, you can be easily able to respond whether you want to pick it up or not.

Another feature known as hold assist will hold the music and remain on the call for you until you can talk to a live agent. Another feature known as life translation will let you translate many conversations and talks while you are travelling. It will keep on translating as you are talking to the person and the translation will be speaking just as a person out of your AI voice for the call. 

And then, if the person is going to talk in his own language, the AI voice will translate it to you. There is another feature regarding the Messages app. According to which people can easily add pose to their chats so it gets easy to plan events or travels through the polling system. There will be custom backgrounds in the group chats too. And you can also make money transactions through the app such as sending and receiving Apple Cash in your group chat.

Some really good features along with Apple Music or also coming to the Apple devices as you are listening to the music Apple will show you lyrical translation so you can understand words from your favourite songs of other languages. There will be a pronunciation feature which is going to come in the music app.

Even though a song is in a different language, the listener can understand through the lyrics and can easily sing along. There is an audio mix feature which will help you transition a song to another just like a DJ does. To make your playback continuous just like a DJ. This feature is coming just like a competitor because Spotify is also taking out a feature which helps the user to create DJ songs with the help of AI DJ feature.
