New features of the mobile app for iOS 26

Mobile app on iPads and Macs

Apple has supported the phone application to work on iPads running the ipadOS 26 operating system and also on Mac computers running macOS Tahoe, with all the new application features that we will talk about in this article.

Design for mobile app

The phone application in iOS 26 gets a new design with the possibility of returning to the traditional design of iOS 18, where the new design integrates recent calls, missed calls and voicemail into one screen, where favorite contacts appear at the top of the interface, and there is also a tab at the bottom of the application for a quick switch between contacts and keyboard.

Mute anonymous incoming calls

iOS 26 allows you to mute incoming calls from anonymous callers. When this option is enabled, incoming calls from anonymous numbers go to voicemail and these calls appear with a voice message if found in the "Recent Calls List".

Filter calls

The call filtering feature allows users to enable an option that asks callers who are not saved in the contact list to provide their name and contact reason.

Call Filtering

iOS 26 enables call filtering, where users can move missed calls and voicemail from unsaved numbers to an anonymous section.

Extended Call History

In iOS 26, you can  view the call history of any contacts by pressing the "i" button next to the name or number and then selecting"Call History", in order to see all calls with that person.

Direct translation

 iOS 26 allows live translation of phone calls, and in order to get the call translation, press the three-point button, then choose the live translation, then choose the language the caller speaks and the language you want to translate to, and then you will see an alert at the bottom of the screen indicating that the translation has begun. This feature supports Spanish, English, French and German.

Write to Siri during the call

This feature allows you to write to Siri either to execute commands or ask questions while making voice calls.

Waiting Assistant

When you make a voice call to someone who has put you on hold, the Hold  Assist feature listens to the hold music and when the person is back on the line sends you an audio alert (a ringing sound). In order to activate this feature, click the three-point button while connected.

Report voicemail

This feature allows you to report the voicemail of an unknown number, as a new button entitled Report Spam will appear. When you click on it, the message is sent to Apple.

In conclusion, the new updates in the iOS 26 mobile app demonstrate Apple's commitment to improving the user experience and offering better security and privacy features.
