iOS 26.2 is launching to all users very soon<\/a>, and it will introduce several new ways to customize the way your iPhone looks and works. Here\u2019s what\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n #1: Expanded Liquid Glass slider for Lock Screen clock<\/p>\n The Lock Screen is one of the best ways you can personalize your iPhone\u2019s look and feel. And in iOS 26, Apple added the ability to make the Lock Screen\u2019s clock use a Liquid Glass design.<\/p>\n Now in iOS 26.2, the slider for adjusting the clock\u2019s opacity has been expanded<\/a> to let you go more transparent or more opaque than before.<\/p>\n Make sure your clock is set to the \u2018Glass\u2019 setting, not \u2018Solid,\u2019 then play around with it to find the right look for your Lock Screen. The image above shows the new, most extremely transparent clock.<\/p>\n This updated slider is available no matter which font option you\u2019ve chosen. Unfortunately you can still only expand the clock\u2019s size with the default font, though.<\/p>\n #2: New screen flash for notifications<\/p>\n Notifications have long offered a special accessibility feature that triggers an extra visual cue. You can set your iPhone\u2019s camera flash to go off when an alert comes in. <\/p>\n This feature is great for the hard of hearing, but it\u2019s also just a nice option for making notifications pop.<\/p>\n Now in iOS 26.2, there\u2019s a new alternative<\/a> along the same lines.<\/p>\n Inside Settings \u21fe Accessibility \u21fe Audio & Visual \u21fe Flash for Alerts you\u2019ll see a new \u2018Screen\u2019 option.<\/p>\n With \u2018Screen\u2019 toggled on, notifications will cause your iPhone\u2019s display to fully light up for a brief moment before returning to normal brightness. You can even pair it with the camera flash option to maximize the effect.<\/p>\n #3: Reminders alarm options<\/p>\n iOS 26.2 adds a brand new \u2018Urgent\u2019 toggle<\/a> for time-based reminders in Apple\u2019s Reminders app. <\/p>\n It\u2019s easily one of my favorite new features<\/a> in the update. And there\u2019s an accompanying setting that lets you customize how it works.<\/p>\n By default, when an \u2018Urgent\u2019 reminder comes due, an alarm will trigger on your iPhone\u2019s Lock Screen. You\u2019ll see \u2018Snooze\u2019 and \u2018Stop\u2019 options just like with your morning wakeup alarm.<\/p>\n But inside Settings \u21fe Apps \u21fe Reminders, you can change this behavior, replacing the \u2018Snooze\u2019 option with a \u2018Complete\u2019 button instead.<\/p>\n \u2018Complete\u2019 not only stops the alarm, but also marks that reminder complete immediately. Otherwise, stopping an alarm won\u2019t actually mark the task as done.<\/p>\n I personally prefer having the Snooze option, but I imagine some users will opt for a \u2018Complete\u2019 button instead.<\/p>\n For more new features coming to your iPhone in iOS 26.2, check out our coverage here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Best iPhone accessories<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
