Today Apple has released iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6. Both updates come with a whopping 78 security fixes, so it’s highly recommended that you install them as soon as possible. If you haven’t already been notified about the update, you can go to Settings > General > Software Update to manually check for it. It will then be downloaded and installed.
Aside from the essential security patches, the update also optimizes the Spotlight search index, preparing it for iOS 27, which brings significant changes to Spotlight and Siri. Both features rely on a new indexing system for the content on your device.
The reindexing process has been found to take a week or much longer by people running the iOS 27 beta, so Apple is now starting some of the work before the iOS 27 release in order to make the transition smoother. iOS 26.6 also adds a new “Blocked Contacts Limit Reached” alert.
