The iOS 26.4 beta has rolled out with a range of new features and updates, some of which may not be immediately apparent. This latest iteration focuses on enhancing user experience across various applications.
Health App Enhancements
A significant addition to the Health app is the new Average Bedtime metric, which aims to provide users with insights into how their bedtime affects sleep quality. Additionally, the Vitals section has been updated for users in the U.S., now displaying blood oxygen levels on the daily line graph overview. Previously, while blood oxygen data was available, it was not represented graphically.
Camera Features
In the Camera app, a new Audio Zoom feature has been introduced. This option allows recorded audio to focus on the subject when the camera is zoomed in during video recording. Users can toggle this feature on or off according to their audio preferences.
CarPlay and Apple Music Updates
For CarPlay users, there are indications of upcoming support for Apple TV, allowing users to view Apple TV content on their car’s dashboard when the vehicle is stationary. This follows a previous announcement at WWDC 2025 regarding the capability to AirPlay video content to a CarPlay display.
In the Apple Music app, a new functionality allows users to add a song to multiple playlists simultaneously. By utilizing a list button in the add-to-playlist interface, users can select several playlists at once, streamlining the organization of their music.
Additional Features
Other updates include a relocation of the hotspot data usage metrics, which are now displayed directly within the Personal Hotspot section instead of being buried under Cellular settings. The Accessibility section has also been updated to include Chinese (Taiwan) as a new language option for Live Captions.
In the Face ID and Passcode settings, the alignment of the passcode entry text has been changed to center-aligned, enhancing visual consistency. Lastly, the Shortcuts app has introduced a Set Charge Limit action, allowing users to set a battery charge limit for their iPhones.
For a comprehensive overview of all new features in iOS 26.4, a dedicated features guide is available.
