🚨 iOS 26 Public Beta Drops Tomorrow: Apple Unveils Stunning ‘Liquid Glass’ Interface – Here’s Everything You Need to Know!

The wait is almost over for iPhone users eager to experience Apple’s most radical iOS redesign in years. Starting July 23, 2026, Apple will officially roll out the first iOS 26 public beta, opening the gates for non-developers to test its futuristic Liquid Glass interface. The update comes alongside public betas for iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS.

This major release follows Apple’s accidental early rollout of the macOS Tahoe 26 public beta earlier this week—hinting that the company is fully prepared for wide-scale testing.

📲 iOS 26 Public Beta: Release Timing and Build Info

According to sources cited by MacRumors, Apple will release iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 beta 4 under build number 23A5297i. Industry insider Mark Gurman (Bloomberg) also confirmed the timing, noting that Apple typically follows developer beta releases with public versions within 24 hours.

The July 23 launch aligns with Apple’s public beta schedule since 2020. Users with compatible iPhones can download the update through the Apple Beta Software Program. However, experts advise installing it only on secondary devices due to potential bugs and instability in early builds.

🧊 Meet Liquid Glass: Apple’s Boldest UI Overhaul Since iOS 7

The biggest head-turner in iOS 26 is the Liquid Glass interface—Apple’s most dramatic visual redesign in over a decade. Gone are static icons; in their place are dynamic, shape-shifting elements that react to your touch and motion.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Smart app icons that adapt based on how you use them
• Haptic-enhanced animations for a more immersive feel
• Depth-aware widgets that shift perspective as you tilt your phone

Initial developer reactions, as reported by 9to5Mac, have been mixed—some love the immersive aesthetics, while others found the changes disorienting at first. Now, everyday users will get to form their own opinions.

🛠️ How to Install the iOS 26 Public Beta (With Safety Tips)

To get started, enroll in Apple’s free Beta Software Program, then navigate to:
Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates.

Before installing:

• Back up your device via iCloud or Finder
• Ensure your battery is above 50%
• Keep at least 5GB of free storage
• Be aware of risks like app crashes, battery drain, or data loss

Apple’s developer release notes highlighted ongoing issues with Mail syncing and cellular connectivity, which may still exist in this public version.

📅 Why This Beta Release Matters

This public beta marks a major milestone in Apple’s software development cycle. By opening it to the public, Apple empowers everyday users to provide feedback that shapes the final iOS 26 experience—expected to debut officially this September alongside new iPhone models.

While Liquid Glass promises a sleek, next-gen feel, the real test will be how it performs across millions of diverse devices and use cases.

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has processed 13,185 URLs related to electronic fraud and online scams for blocking, out of which 13,021 have been successfully blocked. According to an official document, the action was taken in coordination with relevant authorities, including the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), SECP, and SBP.

The breakdown reveals that 1,357 Facebook links were flagged, with 1,246 blocked, 47 under review, and 64 rejected by the platform, a blocking rate of 91.82%. On Instagram, 41 URLs were reported, with 39 blocked and one each under review and rejected (95.12% blocking rate). YouTube had 122 links processed, 99 blocked, eight under review, and 15 rejected, resulting in 81.15% blocking efficiency. Twitter had only six cases, with five blocked and one under review (83.33% blocking rate). The largest category, “Others/Misc”, covered 11,659 URLs, of which 11,632 were blocked, 17 were under review, and 10 were rejected,  achieving a 99.77% blocking rate.

In the briefing, PTA clarified that it does not regulate call centers or software houses in Pakistan. Additionally, matters related to cybercrime enforcement, including cyber fraud and online scams, fall outside PTA’s legal mandate. The NCCIA handles these issues under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016. PTA’s primary role under Section 37 of PECA is to remove or block unlawful online content. For the investigation and enforcement of electronic fraud, the responsibility lies with FIA and NCCIA under Section 29 of the same act. PTA acts upon the recommendations of these authorities to initiate blocking or takedown of fraudulent content.

To prevent future scams, PTA emphasized the importance of public awareness. The authority is actively conducting seminars, producing TV shows, and using SMS and digital media to educate the public on online fraud risks.
