"Another iOS 26.3 update is also aimed at interoperability, though it may only apply to iPhones covered by European Union regulations. A feature called "notification forwarding" will send your iPhone's notifications to third-party accessories, including Google's Android-based Wear OS smartwatches. Once the setting is enabled, users will be able to decide which apps can forward notifications to the third-party device, similar to how Apple Watch notifications work."
"In current betas, Apple allows notifications to be forwarded to only one device at a time, and forwarding notifications to a third-party device means you can't send them to an Apple Watch. Finally, both iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3 are introducing a feature for some newer devices with Apple's in-house C1 and C1X modems: a "limit precise location" toggle that Apple says "enhances your location privacy by reducing the precision of location data available to cellular networks.""
iOS 26.3 introduces notification forwarding to third‑party accessories, including Android-based Wear OS smartwatches, with per-app controls. Current betas allow forwarding to only one device at a time and disable Apple Watch delivery when set to a third‑party device. iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3 add a limit-precise-location toggle for devices with Apple’s C1 and C1X modems to reduce location precision shared with cellular networks. The toggle is limited to a few models (iPhone Air, iPhone 16e, M5 iPad Pro) and very few carriers (Boost Mobile in the US). Other 26.3 releases across Apple's OSes are mainly bug-fix updates; betas indicate M5 Max and M5 Ultra Mac support, and 26.4 may include a more intelligent Siri.
