Last roundup (before the next batch...) of the new features expected during Apple's WWDC keynote! Mark Gurman has listed a large number of new features that should be announced next Monday, June 9th. Many of them have already been mentioned, but the Bloomberg snooper adds a few new ones.
Finally, background images for chats in Messages
The Phone app, which has changed little since 2007 and the launch of the very first iPhone, could thus gain a new view combining favorite contacts, recent calls and voicemail messages, all in a single window. This interface would be optional and would be launched by tapping a button in the traditional app. Rest assured, the traditional interface of the application would remain in place.
It's one of the most important applications on the iPhone: Camera. It reflects the evolution of the smartphone's photo system, and it must be admitted that it is overwhelmed with functions, causing some confusion among users. iOS 26 should review all of this with a new approach, the details of which will be known next week.
Equally used, the Messages app could get closer to competing messaging services with the addition of surveys and especially the ability to display a wallpaper under conversations! After synchronization, these images would be found on all the user's devices.
Finally, the Preview app, well known on macOS, could finally arrive on iOS and iPadOS! It lets you view, edit, and annotate images and PDFs. This absence is frankly curious because Preview is a very good all-around software that is sorely lacking on iPhone and iPad.
