Overview

- Alarm dismissal now requires a rightward swipe instead of a tap, and users can disable the lock‑screen camera swipe to avoid accidental launches.
- Smaller tweaks include swipe gestures to change tracks in Apple Music, optional vibrations on call accept or end, and a setting for automatic background security installs.
- Apple issued matching 26.1 updates across iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS with roughly 45–50 security fixes spanning kernel, WebKit, sandbox and apps, with users urged to update promptly.
