Good news for iPhone owners: the iOS 26.4 update is on the horizon! Apple has released iOS 26.4 RC, the final beta version before its public release, to ensure there are no remaining bugs. Unless unforeseen issues arise, it should be identical to the final version available to all users.
Keyboard Bug Resolved
This update includes a total of 13 improvements designed to enhance the user experience. A key fix addresses a bug with the iPhone’s keyboard. Numerous users have reported issues on social networks regarding frequent errors when typing quickly, with characters not always registering and causing typos and incorrect autocorrect suggestions. IOS 26.4 aims to deliver a more accurate and responsive keyboard experience.
Artificial Intelligence Enhancements in Apple Music
Apple Music is also receiving several updates. The app introduces a new feature called Playlist Playground, leveraging artificial intelligence to generate personalized playlists. Users can input a prompt – such as a mood or atmosphere – and the AI will automatically suggest a series of songs. These playlists can then be customized, and saved. However, this feature will not initially be available in Europe.
