After releasing iOS 26 to the general public around a month ago, Apple is now preparing its second bug fix update for its new software release.
According to a report from MacRumors, Apple engineers have been internally testing iOS 26.0.2. They spotted it within their analytics, which has typically been an indicator of the release being imminent.
We don’t currently have details for what’ll be in iOS 26.0.2, but one could expect a usual around of bug fixes, security patches, and improvements. With this year’s Liquid Glass massive redesign, there’s likely to be performance improvements and fixes for issues that users have since reported in this release, rather than just security patches.
This would mark the second bug fix update for iOS 26. Last month, Apple released iOS 26.0.1, which fixed a number of iPhone 17 specific bugs.
Most likely, we’ll see this update debut within the next week or two. Further out, Apple is also working on iOS 26.1, which will likely release by the end of this month. It’s currently in beta. One of the most notable features in iOS 26.1 is a new swipe gesture in Apple Music.
