Apple has released iOS 26.1 beta 2 for developers. The update comes two weeks after the first beta was released.
The build number for today’s iOS 26.1 beta 2 update is 23B5059e, up from the previous beta’s 23B5044l identifier. The update is only available to developers, but we expect a new public beta to be released as soon as later this week.
There’s no word on what’s new in iOS 26.1 beta 2 just yet. Overall, the update focuses on a handful of small design changes and improvements, expanding Apple Intelligence to new languages, and more.
