The second beta of iOS 26 addresses issues with the Control Center's readability that persisted in the first beta. Users found the initial glassy effect made it difficult to read. The new beta has improved opacity beneath Control Center, enhancing legibility. While some colors still seep into buttons, overall adjustments are promising. Additionally, the update features a new ringtone reminiscent of Ace Attorney. Users can follow a guide to install the developer beta now or await a public beta next month.
My biggest complaint with Liquid Glass in the first iOS 26 developer beta was that it sometimes made Control Center nearly unreadable, but Apple has seemingly fixed that with the second beta.
With the second beta, what's under Control Center is much more opaque, making it much easier to read at a glance.
I'm curious if the company will make more changes ahead of the general release this fall.
As reported , the beta includes a few other changes, too, including an excellent new ringtone that's an alternate of the Reflections song.
