Today Apple has released both iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2 for supported iPhones and iPads. iOS 26.2 brings with it an option to activate an alarm when a reminder is due, an option to change the opacity of the time on the lock screen, improved AirDrop functionality, and new features inside the Podcasts app.
It also makes Live Translation work on AirPods in the EU, and adds support for alternative app stores and third-party voice assistants in Japan.
iPadOS 26.2 continues to improve multitasking by letting you drag and drop apps from the dock, Spotlight Search, and the App Library to different views including Slide Over. You can drag apps to the far left or right to enter Slide Over mode, or to the left or right to enter a tiled view. If you drag an app to the middle, you’ll open a larger or smaller window, with indicators making it obvious.
iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2 should be immediately available to download. If you haven’t received a notification yet, just go to Settings > General > Software Update and grab yours.
