iOS

I have tried iOS 26 for the first time and I have removed the transparent icons in minutes, but Liquid Glass is much more than that

by

The day has come, iOS 26 It is already available and last night I left my cell phone updating while I slept. I did not installed the public beta, so when I woke up I have encountered A totally changed mobile. With the illusion of who opens new shoes, I have begun to navigate All news And these are my first impressions. Liquid Glass is more than icons (and less bad) Design is the great novelty of iOS 26. This is the most important change since iOS 7 in 2013, there is nothing. Apple has redesigned the entire interface, menus and native apps with the new design language to which Liquid Glass have baptized. My feeling in these first hours is that I had a wrong idea. Let’s see why. Icons by omission, dark, translucent and tired. The most striking thing is that we can now change the icons and, in addition to putting them with a light or dark background, it allows us to make them completely transparent. Transparent icons completely change the interface and is the first thing I have tried. I think it took three minutes to return to the “by omission” mode. Beyond tastes, transparent icons make everything be applauded and cost a lot to differentiate some apps from others. A design that costs us to read, is not a good design. If I had left them, I would have ended up getting used to where each app is, but it seems to me an unnecessary effort for something that I also do not find it especially groundbreaking. More than iOS, they remind me of any Personalized android theme. They called her Liquid Glass because “I can’t find my apps” it didn’t look good. The icons are optional, but transparencies affect the entire interface. My partner Ricardo was in charge of trying the beta when she was announced and had to suffer a much less polished interface. The contrast problem has been minimized And now notifications and other elements are more legible. Of course, if you choose a clear wallpaper, readability worsens. I recommend betting on a rather dark background. The Glow is subtle, but left over in normal icons What is still there is the effect Glow Around buttons and icons. With transparent icons it is necessary for us to see the edges well, but in normal icons with a clear background It gives the feeling that the edge is not well defined. Again, it is perceived more if we use clear wallpapers, even becoming annoying, as if there were a glare effect. Another striking novelty of the new design is the lock screen, especially the New elongated watch. This has seemed more interesting to me and I have left it configured. In addition, the depth effect is very achieved and is especially good if you use a portrait or a photo of your pet as a wallpaper. I had come countless times the starting screens with transparent icons and, without realizing it, I had formed the idea of ​​the interface was going to be illegiblebut beyond the icons, I think the design language is consistent and there are very interesting changes in some apps. Camera app and photos System applications have also been redesigned for the new visual language of Liquid Glass and I want to stop especially in the camera app and the APP photos. The camera app has changed a lot The first thing you think when opening the app is what has happened to the portrait or slow camera mode. Apple has reduced the options that are seen on screen to video and photo, which now look larger. Only when you slide on them the others appear. I don’t think it’s an especially intuitive solution, But it is not a drama either. The camera options has also changed and now a floating window with quite large round icons is deployed. Design is coarse, although a priori it seems quite a lot more comfortable than the previous one. However, I find it inconsistent that these buttons are so large and instead the direct access to the flash or the night mode (up to the right) are tiny. In fact, trying to open the emerging menu I have activated the flash unintentionally. The good news is that we can also open it sliding from the bottom. The APP photos makes more sense in iOS 26. On the other hand, the photos apptho has received a redesign that I loved and that It finally makes sense. I had become accustomed to using it in iOS 18, but it has been to install iOS 26 and realize that The previous version was a real disaster. With iOS 26 we have two eyelashes again, one with all the photos in chronological order and another with the collections, that is, albums, memories, prominent photos, etc. The interesting thing about this second tab is that it is customizable. If we go down to ‘reorder’ we can choose what we want to be shown above. If you let us eliminate some of these options, it would be ten, but at least we can leave them folded so that there is not so much noise. Most accessible menus Settings, notes and app store with the search at the bottom. Another novelty of the new interface is that the Search Bar in the system apps and menus is at the bottom. Here is a lot more comfortable access to it With one hand, especially if you have an iPhone of the biggest. Another change that I liked of the APP adjustments is that now Apps settings are grouped into a block. We no longer have that endless list on the main screen, but is nested in its own section. I think it makes much more sense. The new safari design can be customized. Safari is one of the apps that has been completely redesigned and also bets on the search bar and controls at the bottom, with a Very compact … Read more

I have taken less than a week to deactivate the star function of iOS 26. The filter called is to kill flies to guns

by

I’ve been from the night of the WWDC 25held on June 9 using the beta of iOS 26. This is the largest redesign of the Apple operating system in years, and the first real approach to how the company will implement its local artificial intelligence in native applications. One of the most commented functions was that of Anti spam protection. A system that comes to rival some already existing, like Google’sbut in a more aggressive and less intelligent way. So much so that I had to deactivate it just a week later. How the Apple filter works. Within the Apple Telephone App, from iOS 26, there are new ways to filter unknown numbers. Filter incoming calls: the incoming calls of unknown numbers are filtered. Whoever makes the call has to identify and, once we have that information, we can choose to pick up or not. Send all calls from unknown numbers to the voice mailbox. Automatically silence all calls of unknown numbers. The second and third option are quite aggressive (in addition to the second one was already present in previous versions of iOS). The great novelty is in How Apple Applies Ia Upon receiving calls, since it is Siri who attends the person, not us. The first day, the first notice. I receive many calls a week, more than I would like. Mainly, of messaging companies that contact me to know if I am at home. I analyze smartphones in Xataka and the different parcel companies call practically daily. From numbers that I don’t have saved, of course. It soon realized that they were calling me from a parcel company, and the delivery man was not answering the questions of Siri. How do I know? For how this new feature works. Thanks, don’t hang up. When someone with an unknown number calls us, Siri asks him to identify and explain the reason for the call. It is not necessary to be too explicit: it is enough to say “I am Ricardo, it is important.” But here there are two issues. The first is that the iPhone notifies discreetly when the filter is active, with a minimum vibration that we will not notice. The second is that, if the person does not identify, the phone does not start sounding until 20 seconds. A filter that does not filter so much. Yeah The call is urgentit is more than likely to hang. It is just what happened to me this week, both with the deliveries and with a call that I received from my health center. After a robot (Siri) ask you what you want, if you are not willing (or you cannot) answer at that time the question, it is difficult to be 20 seconds waiting for the phone to begin to sound to the other person. I saw perfectly how the delivery man hung before he started sounding and, after asking him (I had to call him later), he told me that he did not know if it was some type of fraud. Normalize that Siri takes it. It will not be easy to normalize that Siri takes the phone. It would be necessary for practically all Apple users to activate this function, and that users understand that every time you call an iPhone, you have to go through Siri. The most important factor of the urgent call is also lost: immediacy. A accident cases in which they call you with unknown numbers, medical consultations … No one likes calls of unknown numbers, but filtering them all, regardless of whether they have advertising purposes or not, is to kill flies to cannon. Google makes it much better. Google Filter suspicious calls of fraud or spam has been filtering years indicating precisely that the calls are spam. If we call us a number for commercial or fraudulent purposes, Google uses its AI model to analyze in the cloud where that number comes from. In the event that we are not clear who calls us, we have nothing but to filter so that the Google assistant does exactly the same thing that Apple does: ask the interlocutor who he is and the reason for his call. It is a practically infallible filter for commercial and fraudulent calls but in which at all times we are finding out whether or not they call us.

Spam calls are a problem for everyone and Apple knows. Its solution with iOS 26 has been stopping braking

by

The mobile sounds and is an unknown number. The possibilities that there is a commercial wanting to sell you the last superooferta fiber They are high Or, in the worst case, it could be a Stofler getting through your bank. We have been talking about the problem of the so -called spam and fraudulent and so far no one has found a 100% effective solution. Yesterday Apple introduced us iOS 26a renewal that We have already been able to try And with a novelty that goes in this line, although the solution they propose is much more aggressive than those of the competition. The problem of unwanted calls. Commercial calls bother. They are abundant and it seems that they have the ability to call us when it comes to us. Even the government has taken letters in the matter and for a few days, Commercial calls from mobile numbers 600 or 700 are prohibited. But beyond wakeing us from the nap to improve our light rate, the real problem is in telephone fraud. The Fraudulent SMS They are incessant, but the scams also come by call. Through techniques of Vishing and Telephone spoofing We have seen how They can empty the account by passing through your bank. In view of such elaborate scams Both entities and the government have begun to take the problem seriouslybut despite efforts, we still can’t talk about the definitive solution. How the Apple call filter works. iOS 26 It will bring news in the telephone app and one of them is the call filter, which in Xataka we have already tried. If you receive a call from an unknown number, the iPhone automatically activates what they call live voicemail that asks the interlocutor who it is and the reason for the call. Once you have identified, the call appears on our screen and we can see the details that you have facilitated, so we can choose whether to respond or not. If we do not respond, the iPhone will tell those who call us that we are not available and will allow you to record a second message. By the way, whoever attends to the phone before us is Siri’s voice. This is how the calls of unknown numbers appear once the iPhone requests more information. Apple’s proposal is very different to what we were seeing in the competition. Here there is no filter as such, if we activate the live voicemail will affect all calls that reach us with unknown numbers. The only thing we can choose is whether the calls will be referred to Siri to request more information, to the voice mailbox or go to the list of unknown numbers. The configuration options offered by Apple. He Approach Android is more flexible and intelligent. A long time ago Android has functions to fight telephone spam. If we use Google’s APP we have different tools to fight with unwanted calls. It has a call identifier that tells us if they call us a business that is in the Google database and also If a number is suspicious of spam. Nor is it infallible and there are times when any call is sneak. If it happens, it allows us to mark the number as spam. As exclusive to the Pixel we have Call Assistwhich works similarly to Apple’s live voice mailbox. If we choose to filter the call, Google Assistant will ask about the reason for the call and will offer us a transcription. There is much similar, but an important difference: we choose what to filter and on the screen we will see before if a number is suspicious of spam, while Apple treats the same to all unknown numbers. This will alert Android of the scams. Image: Google With Android 16Google wants to go further and will be implemented Functions focused on fighting with telephone scamshow to prevent us from deactivating Google Play Protect or install apps from the browser. He will also be able to detect financial scams and alert us with a notice on the screen. Collateral damage. Apple sells its call filter as the solution to eliminate interruptions and in this sense is effective, but it can also be a problem because not all calls of unknown numbers are disposable. How many people will hang when listening to Siri’s voice asking why he calls us? Even though it is normal, it is still very unhappy and even counterproductive in certain scenarios as an emergency or if the doctor calls us. An intermediate solution. As we said, Android is not infallible blocking spam, but it does have some intelligence behind (and more will have when Android 16 arrives), while Apple opts to stop braking. Perhaps the exit is to find a solution halfway between the two where we can have more flexibility when limiting calls without risking to lose some important.

ios 26 has a very hard path ahead

by

Apple celebrated its WWDC 2025one in which the Redesign of iOS was even above artificial intelligence implementations. At least, as far as speech is concerned. Liquid Glass It is the new interface shared among all Apple operating systems, starting from the design language we saw for the first time in Vision Pro. iOS 26the operating system of iPhonehas been updated in your beta for developers. And a server has been testing it since yesterday. I’m going to tell you what I found in This first betaone with a lot of work ahead and that sets the foundations of a new era for Apple. One in which curves come. Liquid Glass in iOS 26 Blocking screen notifications are practically illegible, for the moment. iOS 26 has completely changed the design we had in iOS 18and absolutely all the elements of the interface are starring transparencies. When it is more or less aesthetic I will not enter, it is subjective. What leaves no mistake is that … There is a serious problem with contrast. It is a first version, but Apple has a challenge ahead with transparencies: readability The elements of the blocking screen and notification screen, if we have a clear background (the one that comes by default), present important readability problems. It does not depend on having a more or less large panel, it is barely seen as soon as the notification lands in a darker element of the wallpaper. If it falls to a darker area, the improvement visualization (something). That the elements of the UI have the transparent edges do not help, that absolutely everything is transparent, does not help. This is the first beta for developers, so it is convenient to be cautious. The first Dark theme implementation in iOS was simply terrible. Now it works perfectly. Which We are seeing right now is the sketch on which Apple is going to workand these readability problems, at least on paper, should be resolved. I am especially concerned with Glow that have the edges of some apps. This brightness is sought, but ends up achieving that apps with white background are perceived quite blurred and little defined. Apple will have to seek balance between respecting this new visual identity, and that everything is readable under any circumstance. The redesign affects all native appswhich now have a dynamic bar at the bottom. Perhaps, too dynamic, to the point that the camera app seems completely broken when you open it, and you have to be you who intuits that, sliding on the photo icon, the rest of the options are displayed. Very little Apple, even for a first beta version. The system is loaded with details, such as the remaining load time in settings (it does not appear on the lock screen, as on Android). On the positive side, There are very careful elements: sickly refined animations, improvements on the blocking screen with the automatic adaptation of the clock to the main element and, although it is missing, a cohesion at the level of native apps and system that was not so deep before. The animations are half cooking, there are broken elements in the interface, and it shows that everything is still quite green. It is not something that worries me in excess, it is the first beta for developers of the greatest design change in the history of the iPhone. An AI that continues behind its rivals Do not expect great changes in Apple Intelligencebecause there are no. Screen recognition through chatgpt does not work yet, the news to generate Genmojis in Image playground They are insignificant, and automatic translation does not work for the moment, it is frozen. Yes I have been able to try the new call filter, one that comes to compete with Google’s and that is much more aggressive. Apple filters absolutely all unknown calls: Siri pauses them, ask who he is and what he wants, to show us later. Only there we will decide whether we want to take the phone or not. It is a solution that ends radically with spam, but that kills gunflows. There is nothing of Google’s intelligent detection, just an aggressive filter that ends all the calls of numbers that we do not know. If we have any urgency or the person who calls us is special has a hurry, we can end up losing the call in the process. The key in Apple’s AI is working locallywith its own model that does not need a constant cloud connection. Apple will open these Apple Intelligence tools to third parties so that developers can use them in their apps, always running in local models. His second big point is silence. Apple wants AI to be there to help us in day to day, not to modify by system elements. It is a discreet implementation, although insufficient. Nothing that Apple has presented is new or exclusive: Google and Samsung have leading the AI ​​career in mobiles for more than two years. The translation of calls live, the call filters (although less aggressive), and functions with which Apple does not have the audio draft, navigation assistant or sharing screen with Gemini Live (the assistant sees the screen in real time and interacts by voice, not only text) in models such as the Samsung Galaxy S25they show that Apple is still far from the throne. Apple continues to the defensive Apple has decided to follow a strategy in which its AI controls the everyday, and the advanced is subcontracts to companies such as OpenAi. The changes that, at some point, They will arrive in Sirithey are drawn as something irrelevant at this point. We already know what Apple’s position is with AI, and makes some sense. The problem is that it is not an AI that comes to win. And Apple seems to be clear that this race is no longer yours is worrying. The local approach is plausible, but not enough. Regarding the change of design, my point in this … Read more

How to install the beta for developers of iOS 26, iPados 26 or Watchos 26

by

Let’s explain how install beta for developers of iOS 26which is the new version of the Apple operating system. In addition to the name, it comes with a new nomenclature, and the steps that we are going to also be worth for ipados and watchos 26. But before starting, you must remember an important thing. It is not recommended to install these betas for developers In the devices you use in your day to day, since they are versions of the operating system that are very green, incomplete, without rectifying and full of failures. In these first betas, iOS will work badly. The operating system It will be slow and unstableand you will find large amounts of failures and bugs. They are the first tests with the system, and from them it will begin to be polished during the next months to be ready for the official launch in September. Betas for developers are only for those programmers who want to test their applications and prepare them for the arrival of the final version of the operating system. It can also serve you on an iPhone that you do not need to work well to try the new functions when they are arriving, but it is advisable to wait for public betas. Another thing to keep in mind is that betas for programmers are complicated to install, while public will be much easier, since they are intended for normal users. You are betas They will begin to arrive in mid -Julyand new versions will be leaving every little time until the final version. Requirements for developer beta To install betas for developers in Apple operating systems, you will need have a developer profile. This means that you will need to have registered on the Apple developers portal, something you can do through the website of Developer.apple.com. After doing so, you can download your profile to install it. But of course, these profiles are for real developers. If you are not you will have to resort to a trap. There is Third Party pages that offer you developer profileswith what you can try these betas without being one. The most popular is betaprofiles.devand all you need to do is press the operating system from which you want to lower a profile, and you will download a false one. This method is always open to problems and errors, but it is a part or alternative. Install the beta of iOS, ipados or watchos To install the beta of the new operating system, you must first get your developer profile As we told you before. When you have it, let it in iOS, and open it from the app Archives As if it were any other file. In doing so, you will be asked if you want to install it on the iPhone or the Apple Watch, since to install the Watchos betas you will have to do it using the linked iPhone. When you have installed the profile on your device, go to Settings In that same mobile or tablet. In the adjustments, click on the option of Downloaded profile and choose the option Install That will appear. Thus you can complete an installation process that is quite easy, where they will start asking for the mobile security password to confirm that you are the owner. Once the profile is install, you will have the device ready for the beta. Now you must restart it, and when you do it, go to the adjustments, go to Generaland enter Software update. With this You will look for new versions of iOSand the beta for developers will appear as if it were a normal update. In this guide we have shown you the catches of an iPhone, but The steps are exactly the same in an Apple Watch or iPad. The only thing that changes is that the profile for the Apple Watch you will have to download it to the iPhone with which it is linked, but everything else is the same.

Why your iPhone is going to go directly from iOS 18 to iOS 26, and why it makes all the way

by

Apple has just taught us the next software news that will arrive at the iPhone in September. The next version of iOS comes with a redesign to which Liquid Glass have baptized (And to which they have dedicated a good time from the presentation), but without a doubt the most striking change of this year is that the next version It will not be called iOS 19but iOS 26. We tell you the reason behind this decision and no, Apple has not been the first to do so. Jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26 makes sense Since the launch of the first iPhone in 2007, Apple has increased the numbering of one by one: iOS, iOS 2, iOS 3, iOS 4 … until you reach the current iOS 18. One more year, one more version, it makes sense. So, Why jump eight numbers suddenly? Apple wants to unify all its product ranges. All new software versions will be number 26. The problem of this logic is that they have done the same with the rest of their product lines, regardless of when they have been launched. Thus, the current versions of the Apple ecosystem are as follows: iOS 18, Ipados 18, Macos 15, Watchos 11 and Visionos 2. Come on, a mess. Apple’s intention is to unify all its product ranges, that is, that all new software versions will carry number 26. And why the 26? For the year (yes, iOS 26 will arrive in September 25, but in practice “you will live” more time in 2026). Samsung Did It First It is not the first time that we see a change like that of iOS 26. Samsung already did when in 2020 They made the jump of Samsung Galaxy S10 to the Samsung Galaxy S20. Since then the number has been increasing year after year, so in 2026 we will have the Galaxy S26. Apple’s change can make all the meaning -it is easier to communicate, it is better understood and allows us to locate immediately the year in which each version was presented. But it is also true that they arrive a little late and that starting this unification with the 26 makes it A very high and less manageable starting figure. There is also the detail that Each operating system is still called in a different way. Other brands in the sector have also unified nomenclature (Samsung did it with One UI, Xiaomi with Hyperos or Huawei with Harmonyos), although it does not seem that Apple will follow that path, at least not for the moment.

This is Liquid Glass, the new interface of iOS, Macos, Ipados and Watchos

by

Great changes were expected to the Interface of Apple’s operating systems, and we already have them with us. Liquid Glass arrivesa new design language that makes use of translucent elements throughout the interface. Alan Dye, head of human interface in Apple, presented this “inspired” vision “redesign. This “expressive material” precisely adopts the appearance of a layer of liquid crystal that applies to drop -down menus, buttons and other visual elements. There is a unique effect also on all these visual elements: They are translucentbut they act as a unique lens that shows what is underneath as if those elements were actually made of that material. Transparencies are very realistic thanks to the effects that mimic this glass effect. In the iPhone wallpaper, for example, the time digits show the background color slightly modified by the effect of “liquid crystal” itself. This new interface adapts without problems in the dark mode if necessary, although Apple showed above all clear mode in all captures and demonstration animations. That interface promises to be especially clean, although a priori does not seem especially radical: we have a desk that seems more polished and with more “air” than its predecessor. There is something especially important: those visual elements are universal throughout the Apple ecosystem. The Liquid Glass design language reaches iOS, macOS, iPados or Watchos equally. All of them take another leap: Theoretically this year Macos 16 or iOS 19 were going to arrive, but instead we will have macos 26 or iOS 26. In development …
