After releasing iOS 26 to the general public about a month ago, Apple is currently preparing its second bug-fixing update for its new software version.
According to a report from MacRumorsApple engineers have internally tested iOS 26.0.2. They spotted it in their analytics, which usually indicates that the release is imminent.
We don’t currently have details on what will be in iOS 26.0.2, but one would expect the usual round of bug fixes, security fixes, and improvements. With this year’s massive Liquid Glass overhaul, there will likely be performance improvements and fixes for issues that users have since reported in this release, rather than just security fixes.
This would be the second bug-fixing update for iOS 26. Last month, Apple released iOS 26.0.1, which fixes a number of iPhone 17-specific bugs.
Most likely, we’ll see this update debut in a week or two. Further ahead, Apple is also working on iOS 26.1, which is expected to be released by the end of this month. It is currently in beta. One of the most notable features of iOS 26.1 is a new swipe gesture in Apple Music.
