**iOS 26 Beta 7: Major Updates and Features**
iOS 26 beta 7 has been made available for iPhones enrolled in the developer beta program. This update introduces multiple significant changes and improvements compared to the earlier beta iteration, iOS 26 beta 6.
### New Power Mode Options
A key enhancement in iOS 26 beta 7 is the rollout of new Power Mode options. This features an **Adapter Power Notifications** setting, aimed at notifying users when their device may throttle performance to save battery life. This feature works separately from the Adaptive Power option, granting users more authority over their device’s performance and power management.
### Revamped Blood Oxygen Measurement Feature
In a noteworthy advancement, iOS 26 beta 7, in conjunction with watchOS 27 beta 7, now offers a **revamped blood oxygen measurement feature** for Apple Watch users in the U.S. This feature had been restricted for Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2 models for several years due to ongoing patent disputes with Masimo. However, Apple has recently obtained the necessary approval for a workaround, which is anticipated to be included in the forthcoming public beta release, making the feature accessible across all compatible devices.
### macOS Tahoe Update
In related developments, the macOS Tahoe beta has also undergone updates, especially regarding the onboarding video for the MacBook, highlighting the device’s notch—though the notch itself is not included. This visual adjustment was initially presented in beta 6 and continues to progress with the latest version.
### Conclusion
As the testing of iOS 26 advances, users can look forward to more updates and enhancements. Apple invites input from developers and users to further improve the overall experience. For those keen on the newest features and updates, staying informed with each beta release is crucial. If users observe any additional changes or features, they are encouraged to relay their findings to the development team.
For ongoing updates, keep an eye on technology news websites and developer community forums.
