We’ll be getting the iOS 26’s clever new update in September this year, and along with other cool new features, you may finally be saved from spam phone calls.
Popularized by YouTuber Marques Brownlee, the iPhone will have ‘liquid glass’ features as well as the option to create semi-3D pictures for your wallpaper.
Awkward ‘lost in translation’ moments will be no more over the phone. Yes, live translation will be available for FaceTime and phone calls, muy bien!
The most useful update for iPhones is, without doubt, having your own AI assistant screen your incoming phone calls. So you won’t have to deal with any annoying spam callers anymore.

iOS 26’s clever new update for iPhones
It’s always good when we learn that the tech giant Apple is releasing a new iOS for our iPhones. But looking at iOS 26’s clever new update, there’s a lot to get excited about.
For those people who like to take part in ‘Pimp my Wallpaper’, there are a lot of new updates that you’ll want to take advantage of, like how customizable the clock feature is, as well as semi-3D background pictures.
The update comes with a new, fresh design, including something called ‘Liquid Glass’, which makes everything look more fluid and hi-tech.
But the best new features in the update benefit the things phones were created for in the first place. That’s texting and phone calls.
You may finally be saved from spam phone calls
There is nothing more annoying than being hassled with spam phone calls. But iOS 26’s clever new update gives you a personal AI assistant.
Instead of a spam call coming straight through to your phone, unknown numbers get intercepted by an AI assistant who will ask their name and purpose.
You’ll get shown a transcript of the conversation before you to pick up, so you know what you’re dealing with.
In texts, phone calls, and FaceTimes, you’ll be able to translate your conversations live if people are speaking different languages. This is an absolute game-changer.
It’s been a feature on Android phones for a while now, but iPhone call screening is something we all desperately need. We can’t wait for the new iOS update to drop in September.
