Apple launches iOS 26 beta 4 for developers with updates to Liquid Glass and AI notification summaries. A public beta is expected later this week.
Back in 2024, we described how the then-new iOS 18 enabled you to tint your homescreen icons, allowing you to tweak the look of your iPhone’s display.

The fourth developer betas of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 have landed, with the update adding more Liquid Glass changes, Dynamic Wallpapers, and even CarPlay customizations. Here's what's new this time.
