iOS 26 brought exciting changes to the iPhone, thanks to new features and improvements. Here are three standout features that I’ve been enjoying.
#1: Systemwide AutoFill for Credit Cards
Apple Pay is great, but it’s not always accepted. Often, I still have to enter my credit card info manually. With iOS 26, this is easier. The new AutoFill feature gives you quick access to your saved credit cards across all apps. Instead of stressing over typing details, you can simply tap to access your cards in any text field. Now, filling out forms is much faster!
#2: Visited Places in Apple Maps
Another useful feature is Visited Places in Apple Maps. Once you turn it on, the app keeps track of places you frequently visit, like restaurants or shops. You can quickly find these spots later and even share them with friends. It’s secure, too; Apple cannot access your data because it’s encrypted. Plus, when you search for a familiar place, Maps highlights it as “visited,” making it easier to find the right location, especially in areas with similar businesses.
#3: Pinned Music in Apple Music
If you love music, you’ll appreciate the new pinning feature in Apple Music. You can pin up to six songs, albums, or playlists at the top of your Library for easy access. This is great for organizing your favorites and keeping track of recommendations. Just tap your pinned items to dive right into the music you love without scrolling through your entire library.
Overall, these iOS 26 updates simplify our daily routines, making tasks quicker and more enjoyable. What features are you finding the most helpful? Let me know in the comments!
