Add slim horizontal bar at the top of the Notification Center that displays the apps with current notifications, along with a badge showing the number of notifications for each app. Each app icon is clickable, allowing users to filter the Notification Center and view only the notifications from the selected app.
The first button in the slider should be “All” to show all notifications, followed by app icons (Excluding notifications summary)
This bar Appears only when notifications are from more than one app.
Hidden if there’s only one app in Notification Center (no need to filter).
Benefits:
Better organization: Helps users quickly identify which apps have unread notifications.
Reduced distraction: Allows focusing on notifications from one app at a time.
Easier navigation: Especially helpful when notifications from multiple apps are mixed together by time.
Faster interaction: Saves time by letting users jump directly to the relevant group of grouped or multiple notifications.

Hi everyone. Can you help me with my settings icon design. I`m trying to create circular setting button using Menu. My code here:
struct MenuView: View {
var body: some View {
Menu {
Text("Hello")
Text("How are you")
} label: {
Image(systemName: "gearshape.fill")
.clipShape(Circle())
}
.clipShape(Circle())
.padding(.top, 10)
.padding(.leading, 20)
}
}
You can see my try, this one looks wrong.
It should be like this:
Just Circle with setting image inside. Thank you an advance 😭🙏🛐
With the code below, JSON data is parsed and is stored in the variable data in the .onAppear function, however an empty set of data is passed to the Content view. How can that be fixed so that the JSON data passes to the DataView?
struct ContentView: View {
@State var data: [Data]
@State var index: Int = 0
var body: some View {
VStack {
DataView(data: data[index])
}
.onAppear {
let filePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "data", ofType: "json")
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath!)
data = getData(url: url)
}
}
func getData(url: URL) -> [Data] {
do {
let data = try Data(contentsOf: url)
let jsonDecoded = try JSONDecoder().decode([Data].self, from: data)
return jsonDecoded
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Fail: \(error.localizedDescription)")
} catch {
print("Fail: \(error)")
}
return []
}
}
I am writing to express interest in engaging with Apple regarding a highly original and commercially relevant concept related to future iPhone innovation.
Given the confidential and proprietary nature of this idea, I am not in a position to share details through an open inquiry or standard feedback form.
I would welcome the opportunity to present this concept through an official and formal communication channel that ensures appropriate confidentiality and professional evaluation, should Apple have an established process for external innovation or partnership discussions.
Please advise if there is a suitable point of contact or procedure for initiating such a conversation in accordance with Apple’s policies.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact me though my email or phone

On iOS 26 beta 3, my app and some other apps got greyed out app icon.
It only happens in Default (Light) appearance.
Apple automatically converts third-party app icons to support Liquid Glass, but is there any specific requirement with third-party icons to avoid above greyed out app icon issue?
I'm in the process of add some swift code that is all objective-c. I have trouble with my actual app so I have worked on a prototype. There is what I have done
Created a new Xcode project, selecting App and Objc
Added a blank Swift file and accepted the generation of the -Bridging-Header.
In project build setting, Yes for Defines Modules, Yes for Always Embed Swift Libraries
Add appropriate .h file to Bridging header
In Build Settings, in Swift Compiler - General, Bridging Header has correct path to the bridging header file
Setup the single swift file in this was using @objc like this:
@objcmembers
class MySwiftClass: NSObject {
func myMethod() {
let output = ...
}
}
When the project runs I execute in the objc ViewController:
MySwiftClass *swiftObject = [[MySwiftClass alloc] init];
and get
Use of undeclared identifier 'MySwiftClass'
I'm using the new badge feature for UIBarButtonItem, but it's not working properly for me when transitioning between view controllers.
I have two view controller with various right bar button items. In the first view controller the first button (the one with the bell) has a badge with a numeric count. The second view controller has the same button but in the third position. When I push the second view controller, it seems that the badge maintains also the old position, so I see two buttons with badges instead of one. What can I do to fix this?
On earlier iOS versions Live Activity displays correctly according to mode set.
Can't find an opened issue for that
version: iOS 26
device: iPhone 16
Hello Apple Team,
I’d like to request a feature that allows users to close all background apps at once on iPhones. Currently, closing each app individually can be time-consuming, especially when many are running.
A “Close All” button would greatly improve user experience and efficiency.
Thank you for considering this suggestion!

According to the API documentation above, the parameter values for platform can be three: IOS, MAC-OS, and UNIVERSAL. After debugging, it was found that IOS and MAC-OS can be used normally, but UNIVERSAL encountered an error UNIVERSAL' is not a valid value for the attribute 'platform'. Expected one of: 'IOS', 'MAC_OS', I would like to know if this value has been deprecated or if the API interface requires new version support, and how to use this value! Please help me solve it! thank you!
With the new ios 26 beta 3 helps some stabillty and performance issues but most of the liquid glass has been removed or made very frosty look; and it defeats the whole purpose of a big redesign, and even thought the changes are because of readability and contrast complaints it should not take away liquid glass design. I think apple should consider adding a toggle or choice to choose if they would want a more frosted look or a more liquid glass look the the original plan.
I've designed a new UI for phones.. I'd like Apple to look at it and see what they think

The system provided liquid glass background looks terrible with my companies navigation bar background color. The navigation background color is not up for discussion and cannot be changed. The clear liquid glass style looks great and I can apply that to buttons I add to the navigation bar, but that doesn't effect the system provided back button. I would prefer to maintain the default back button functionality. Please make it possible to set the liquid glass style that the system provides for navigation bar items.
Hi guys, I've exported the images with transparency for a Vision OS icon but I still keep getting a weird shadow on the top of the icon when I focus on it.
Do you guys had this issue before?
Liquid Glass was introduced as a universal design language for all platforms, but isn't supported by visionOS 26 beta.
For a small team creating a visionOS app targeted for release in fall 2026, should we focus our design work on Liquid Glass, or for the existing visionOS design language?
Hi Guys, I noticed that with Icon Composer when you export the icon it does not export a square image, is there any way of doing it or that's how it is now?
Checking the icon on the iPhone something doesn't seem right...
We have found that on iOS 26 beta some of our app icons built from an Xcode 16 asset catalog containing a single 1024x1024 .png file have a Liquid Glass effect applied to them while others have not.
The documentation states that
If you choose not to use Icon Composer, you can still use an AppIcon asset catalog in your project containing individual app icon images and let the system apply the Liquid Glass material.
and
If you prefer, you can take advantage of the system’s automatically generated treatment that is applied to all app icons.
Is there any insight into how the system treats app icons that have not yet been updated with Icon Composer?
With iOS 26 the CPListSection header has a transparent background, and when the list scrolls under the header it doesn't look good at all. We expected to see a glass fading effect maybe, like the one on the top of the screen. Is it a known bug?
I would like to propose a design enhancement for future iPhone models: using the existing bottom-right antenna line (next to the power button area) as a capacitive “volume control zone” that supports swipe gestures.
Today this line is a structural antenna break, but it is also located exactly where the thumb naturally rests when holding the phone in one hand. With a small embedded capacitive/force sensor, the user could slide their finger along this zone to control volume without reaching for the physical buttons.
Why this makes sense:
• Perfect ergonomic thumb position in both portrait and landscape
• One-handed volume adjustment becomes easier for large-screen devices
• Silent and frictionless vs. clicking buttons (useful in meetings / night mode)
• Consistent with Apple’s recent move toward contextual hardware input (Action Button, Capture Button, Vision Pro gestures)
The interaction model would be:
• Swipe up → increase volume
• Swipe down → decrease volume
• (Optional) long-press haptic = mute toggle
This could also enhance accessibility, especially for users with reduced hand mobility who struggle to press mechanical buttons on tall devices.
Technically, this would be similar to the Capture Button (capacitive + pressure layers), but linear instead of pressure-based. It does not replace physical buttons, it complements them as a silent gesture-based alternative.
Thank you for considering this as a future interaction refinement for iPhone hardware design.
