iOS 26.6 is outThe update isn’t packed with major features, as Apple has shifted most of its development attention to iOS 27. However, testing uncovered a potentially significant security change intended to limit the damage malicious data could cause in Apple Maps.

The release build of iOS 26.6 is number 23G71.
