Apple has rolled out the iOS 26.3 update for its users. Along with iPhones, the update has also been released for iPads, MacBooks, Apple Watches, Apple TVs, and Vision headsets.
Instead of adding major new features, Apple has mainly focused on fixing bugs and improving overall system stability.
However, the update also introduces a new process that makes switching between iPhones and Android devices easier.
iOS 26.3 Update: Data Sharing Becomes Easier
Apple has added a new tool in iOS 26.3 that simplifies cross-platform sharing. With this feature, users can share apps, photos, messages, and phone numbers by simply bringing their iPhone close to an Android phone.
Recently, Google also announced that Apple’s AirDrop feature will now work on Android devices, making file sharing between platforms more convenient than ever.
All Eyes on the Next iOS 26.4 Update
Apple is now preparing for the iOS 26.4 update, which is expected to introduce several major features. Unlike iOS 26.3, which focused on stability and bug fixes, the next update is likely to bring significant improvements.
One of the most important features will be AI-powered Siri, which is expected to use Google’s Gemini model.
This upgrade will improve Siri’s ability to understand user data and perform in-app and cross-app actions more efficiently.
New Security Features Expected in iOS 26.4
Along with AI-powered Siri, new emojis and freeform folders, iOS 26.4 may also introduce advanced security features.
Apple is expected to launch a new validation system that checks the integrity of an iPhone before allowing access to Apple ID and iCloud services. If the system detects that a device has been jailbroken, it will block access to Apple’s online services.
