Apple has officially announced iOS 26 during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025. The latest iOS iteration focuses on personalization, intelligence, and tighter integration across the Apple ecosystem. While you will have to wait for the official release of the update, we have all seven stock wallpapers in 4K resolution to share with you. You can download the wallpapers below.
Key Features of iOS 26
One of the biggest highlights of iOS 26 is a revamped Siri powered by Apple Intelligence. With the integration of on-device generative AI, Siri now understands more natural, conversational prompts and can handle multiple-step tasks. You can now ask Siri to edit photos, summarize web pages, or even generate text drafts for emails and messages.
With iOS 26, users finally get the ability to freely place widgets and app icons anywhere on the home screen, not restricted to the traditional grid layout. App Lock is a highly anticipated feature that enables users to lock specific apps without needing third-party solutions.
Safari in iOS 26 gets smarter with AI-generated summaries for long web pages, research papers, and news articles. A new “Highlights” button provides concise key points, making browsing faster and more efficient.
iOS 26 improves productivity by adding automatic transcription to Voice Memos. Additionally, you can now insert AI-generated summaries within Notes. As for notifications, the AI-powered grouping feature now intelligently clusters messages, emails, and social media notifications based on importance and context.
Apple brings richer features to the Messages app, including scheduled messages, custom effects for iMessages, and voice message transcriptions.
iOS 26 introduces new mental wellness features in the Health app. It offers guided breathing sessions, journaling prompts, and mood-tracking visualizations. New dynamic wallpapers adjust based on the time of day and ambient lighting. Themes can subtly shift in color tones, giving the iPhone a constantly refreshed appearance.
The developer beta is already live, with a public beta scheduled for July 2025. The final release will be rolled out in September 2025, coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 17 series.
iOS 26 Official Wallpapers (4K)
Here are the official iOS 26 wallpapers, spotlighting Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language. The soft, abstract shapes in serene blues, greens, and neutrals enhance transparency effects across the system.
Abstract, frosted-glass overlapping forms in deep blue, aqua-green, and off-white—designed to complement both light and dark modes. Two main styles are available: one for Home Screen and one for Lock Screen, each with light/dark mode variants to optimize legibility.
Apple’s developer beta drops only two wallpapers, but we have added a bunch of inspired versions in green, pink, red, grey, and yellow.
