Apple has released iOS 26.6 for eligible iPhones, introducing nearly 90 security fixes alongside new features. The update adds a feature that can identify potentially malicious messages and allows users to report suspicious content directly to Apple, intended to strengthen protections against scam and phishing attempts. Apple also introduced a notification that alerts users when they reach the maximum limit of 20,000 blocked contacts. Other fixes include improved handling of potentially malicious messages, a fix for a HealthKit blood pressure authorisation issue, resolved HDR screenshot display issues in Messages, and fixes for sticker synchronisation problems through iCloud. The nearly 90 security patches address vulnerabilities across WebKit, the kernel, ImageIO and other system components, including website spoofing, unauthorised data access and code execution through malicious image files. Apple credited external researchers, including those working with Anthropic's Claude AI, for identifying some vulnerabilities. iOS 26.6 also includes system-level improvements to support future Apple Intelligence features, further optimising Spotlight indexing to lay groundwork for upcoming Siri enhancements expected in future iOS releases. The update is available now through Settings > General > Software Update.
