iOS 26 finally dropped on Monday for iPhone users looking to completely revamp the look of their phone.
If you want to update, it’s pretty simple. Apple has a detailed page on its website if you need more information, but the steps are remarkably straightforward.
How to upgrade to iOS 26:
-
First, back up your phone.
-
Plug in your phone and make sure you’re connected to WiFi. (The download will require power and a good connection.)
-
Go into your Settings > General, then click on Software Update.
-
From there, choose iOS 26 and download/install the update.
So, why might you want to download iOS 26? It promises significant upgrades and changes to how your iPhone works. Perhaps most notably is the shift to Liquid Glass, a new design style that’ll change how your apps and features look on your iPhone. So, if you want a total revamp of how your phone looks, the change shouldn’t take more than four steps.
