iOS 26.2 has been released, introducing a variety of enhancements across multiple Apple applications. A significant new feature in the Reminders app allows users to mark tasks as 'Urgent', triggering an alarm when the due time arrives. This alarm can be snoozed for 9 minutes, similar to a traditional wake-up alarm, and incorporates Live Activities for added visibility.
Apple's Podcasts app benefits from three fresh features designed to improve user experience, with the standout being automatic chapter creation. This new functionality utilizes Apple’s podcast transcripts and its intelligence models to generate chapters for episodes, making navigation easier. Additionally, listeners can access links to other referenced episodes and recommendations for related media.
In Freeform, a new capability allows users to create and manage tables within their boards, enhancing its collaborative potential. Furthermore, the newly launched Apple Games app received updates based on early user feedback, including new library filters to streamline game discovery.
