iOS 26 beta 7 changes

Power Mode settings includes a new option for Adaptive Power Notifications, possibly to alert users when performance may drop to preserve battery. The toggle is separate from Adaptive Power, giving users control over the experience.

9to5Mac has confirmed that iOS 26 beta 7 and watchOS 26 beta 7 include support for Apple’s “redesigned” blood oxygen measurement feature in the US. Last week, Apple received approval for a viable workaround despite ongoing patent litigation with Masimo. The next public beta should put the workaround on every device. The feature has been disabled for Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2 customers in the US for a couple years before last week.

Messages now includes a Drafts option in the filter view.

In macOS Tahoe, the MacBook notch is back on the onboarding video that arrived in beta 6 — just without its notch.
