iOS 26 is here, bringing a major update to the iPhone. In addition to a fresh design, there are many new features that make everyday life easier and offer more customization options. However, some features must be set up before they can be used. This guide shows the ten most important steps that should be completed after installing iOS 26.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iOS 26 update is now available for all compatible devices and features significant design changes. The new Liquid Glass design characterizes the look of the lock and home screens, while features like Live Translation, Visual Intelligence, and call screening provide greater convenience. There are also exciting new features in the areas of messaging, games, and sound design. Those who take care of the right settings right after installation will get the most out of iOS 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set up lock screen<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After installing iOS 26, the new Liquid Glass design is immediately visible. The lock screen can be customized with a long press. In addition to fonts and colors, a glass effect can be activated for the time. If you drag the clock in the right corner, you can resize it. Various options are available for the wallpaper. A 2D image can be used to generate a 3D spatial scene that separates the subject from the background. Spatial Scene wallpapers react to movements of the iPhone and create a subtle 3D effect. Widgets can now also be placed at the bottom of the display and are no longer exclusively fixed below the clock. Once saved, tilting the iPhone reveals the subtle movement of the spatial scene, complemented by light reflections on the Liquid Glass elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalize your home screen<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The home screen also offers new customization options. The Edit function provides access to the options. Icons can be transparent in the glass design, with a choice between light and dark. Multi-colored icons with a stacked glass look are enabled by default. Those who prefer a simpler option can use the tinted display, which remains semi-transparent. Apple also allows you to customize the color of the icons to match the iPhone or case. The color slider allows you to select the appropriate tints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activate visual intelligence<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Visual Intelligence feature now works not only with photos, but also with screenshots. A screenshot is enough to identify products, search for information, or ask questions about specific image sections. Options like "Ask," "Search," or "Highlight to Search" allow content to be selected and analyzed. Various services are available, such as Google Image Search or Etsy. Querying via ChatGPT is also possible. An iPhone with Apple Intelligence is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set up call screening<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

iOS 26 introduces call screening. Callers from unknown numbers are asked for their name and the reason for the call. This information appears on the screen before a decision is made whether to accept or ignore the call. This is enabled in the "Phone" settings. There are also new filter options for spam calls and spam voicemails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
