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.

With these new functionalities, iOS 26.4 seeks to improve user experience by offering greater control over device aesthetics and usability.
