Health App

iOS 26.4 includes a new Average Bedtime metric in the Sleep section of the Health app, giving a clearer view of how bedtime affects sleep quality.

In iOS 26, the Blood Oxygen section displayed a graph but did not include an actual blood‑oxygen measurement. This has been updated.

Camera

In the Settings pane of the Camera app, a new Audio Zoom toggle appears. When enabled, recorded audio is focused on the subject while the camera is zoomed during video capture. The setting can be turned on or off according to your preference.

CarPlay

Apple TV support for CarPlay has been spotted, suggesting that users will eventually be able to watch Apple TV content on a car’s dashboard when the vehicle is stationary.
Additionally, early indications show that AirPlay video to a CarPlay display may arrive in the near future.

Apple Music

You can now add a song to multiple playlists simultaneously. In the “Add to Playlist” interface, tap the list button to select several playlists at once.

Hotspot Data

The location of hotspot data usage metrics has moved. Instead of being hidden under Cellular, you’ll now see how much data you’ve used directly within the Personal Hotspot section.

Live Captions

Chinese (Taiwan) has been added as a new language option for Live Captions in the Accessibility settings.

Passcode Settings

In Face ID & Passcode, the passcode entry field is now center‑aligned rather than left‑aligned.

Shortcuts

A new Set Charge Limit action is available in the Shortcuts app, allowing you to define a maximum battery charge level for the iPhone.
