Measure App Gets New Look
The Measure app has received a minor design change in iOS 26.2. The Level feature now sports Apple’s new Liquid Glass design, replacing the traditional white circles with transparent “glass-like” bubbles.
Games App Library Sorting
Apple has introduced a new sorting feature in the Games app Library. You can now arrange your games by file size, alongside the existing Name and Recent options. It’s a small addition, but it’ll help users manage storage more easily and clear out bigger titles when needed.
CarPlay and Menu Animation Changes
In this beta, CarPlay introduces a new toggle that lets users disable pinned messages within the Messages app while using the car interface. Meanwhile, pop-out menu animations have been slightly refined. Menus that expand from a corner button now use a quicker, bounce-style animation similar to what Apple demonstrated at WWDC earlier this year.
Enhanced Safety Alerts
Apple has shared more details about the new Enhanced Safety Alerts added in the first beta. The feature sends notifications about emergencies such as earthquakes, floods, or other regional warnings. These alerts work over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or mobile data, even if government alerts are turned off.
By default, Enhanced Safety Alerts are switched on. You can adjust them anytime by heading to Settings > Notifications > Enhanced Alerts. There’s also an “Improve Alert Delivery” option that uses approximate location data to ensure alerts are sent faster and more reliably. Apple clarified that it does not store users’ exact location data.
Other Additions in iOS 26.2
Other new features include a Liquid Glass slider for the Lock Screen and Live Translation support for AirPods in the European Union.
iOS 26.2 Release Timeline
Apple is expected to release the stable iOS 26.2 update sometime in December, likely between December 9 and December 16.
