"The new operating system brings the 'Suggested Places' feature in Apple Maps, showing trending places to visit, such as restaurants, near your location or based on your search history."
"Apple confirmed it will be putting ads inside Maps, which will be based on your location, search terms, and what you're looking up on Maps, appearing at the top of search results."
"The ads will be clearly marked and won't be a danger to your privacy, with personal data remaining on your iPhone and not being collected."
"Apple is testing end-to-end encryption for RCS messages on iOS 26.5 beta, but it has not confirmed whether this feature will be included in the stable release."
The iOS 26.5 public beta features the new Suggested Places function in Apple Maps, displaying trending locations based on user searches. Additionally, Apple will implement location-based ads in Maps, which will be clearly marked and designed to protect user privacy. The beta also includes testing for end-to-end encryption for RCS messages, although its availability in the stable release remains uncertain. Users can access the public beta by signing up on the Apple Beta Software Program website.
