Apple’s latest iOS 26 guide spotlights 109 lesser-known iPhone features, with new emphasis on Apple Intelligence tools and interface tweaks rather than a single flagship change.

iOS 26 additions in the roundup include full-screen screenshot previews, customizable iMessage backgrounds, a five-second camera timer, ambient music widgets, and more lock-screen and app-hiding controls.
