Before Apple Launches iOS 26 This Fall, Here's What's in iOS 18.5

UNITED STATES, JUL 28 – The iOS 18.5 update introduces satellite messaging for iPhone 13 models with support currently limited to T-Mobile via Starlink, expanding emergency communication options, Apple says.

  • Ahead of its fall iOS 26 release, Apple launched iOS 18.5 on May 12, offering new wallpapers, app tweaks, bug fixes, and security patches.
  • After releasing iOS 18 on Monday, Sept. 16 last year, Apple skipped iOS 19 and named the next update iOS 26.
  • Among the enhancements, iOS 18.5 adds a Pride Harmony wallpaper and notifies parents when the Screen Time passcode is used on iPhone 13 models.
  • IOS 18.5 allows a Back Tap banner to appear, with a `Back Tap Double/Triple Tap detected` message when enabled.
  • Looking ahead, a public beta of iOS 26 is already available, and the full release will feature a Liquid Glass design and a Games app this fall.
