This setting caters to those who favor a more understated interface.

iOS 26.4 brings an improved battery feature named ‘Charge Limit,’ enabling users to set a maximum charge threshold between 80% and 100% to prolong battery longevity. The update features a new action in the Shortcuts app called ‘Set Battery Charge Limit,’ which can be incorporated into different shortcuts. This function allows for automation based on various conditions, such as location or network type, letting users effortlessly tailor their charging routines.
## 3. Personalize Video Subtitle Appearances
The default video player in iOS 26.4 now offers the option to personalize subtitle appearances. Users can select from multiple styles, including Classic, Large Text, Outline Text, and Transparent Background. Furthermore, a ‘Manage Styles’ button facilitates additional customization, directing users to the Accessibility menu where they can modify subtitle display to their preference.
With these new functionalities, iOS 26.4 seeks to improve user experience by offering greater control over device aesthetics and usability.
