Apple Unleashes iOS 26 Beta 4: AI News Summaries Return, Liquid Glass UI Refined

Apple today released the fourth developer beta of its upcoming iOS 26, bringing notable refinements to its Liquid Glass user interface and reintroducing AI-powered notification summaries for news. This critical update arrives just ahead of the anticipated public beta launch later this week.
Key changes in iOS 26 beta 4 include further tweaks to the Liquid Glass redesign, with testers observing dynamic tints in the Notification Center as users scroll, and background darkening for improved readability when viewing notifications. The update also introduces a new “Welcome” splash screen and introductory guides for features like Siri and the revamped Camera app.
Notably, Apple has reinstated its AI-powered notification summaries, a feature previously paused after a controversy where it misrepresented a headline. The beta now includes a warning message under the “News & Entertainment” section, advising users that “Summarization may change the meaning of the original headlines” and to “Verify information.”
Beyond these core enhancements, iOS 26 beta 4 also adds a new dynamic wallpaper that changes colors and updated CarPlay wallpapers. While full release notes are pending, the beta is expected to include various minor bug fixes and performance improvements. Alongside iOS 26 beta 4, Apple also rolled out new developer betas for iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, visionOS 26, and Xcode 26.
