iOS 26 beta 4 changes

First up, we know there are a few design changes coming in macOS Tahoe 26. This includes a redesigned Music app that now reflects the look of the Podcasts app. Specifically, the sidebar now reacts to content beneath it rather than being a separate part of the window.

Notifications have also been redesigned on the Mac to reflect the new look from iOS 26.

Both of these changes appeared on Monday when Apple accidentally sent the macOS Tahoe 26 public beta (still unreleased) through the wrong beta channel. macOS Tahoe 26 developer beta 4 first posted on Apple’s developer portal before hitting the OTA update method.

As for iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, early findings show that Liquid Glass is back in tool bars where it was more frosted in beta 3.
