I-iOS 26.5 isiphumile: Konke abasebenzisi be-iPhone okudingeka bakwazi

I-Apple ikhiphe i-iOS 26.5 ngoMeyi 11, 2026, ezinsukwini ezingama-48 ngemuva kokuqala kwe-iOS 26.4. Lokhu kubuyekezwa akulona ushintsho olukhulu, kodwa kuletha izinto ezintathu i-Apple ezigqamise ngokusemthethweni: imiyalezo ye-RCS ebethelwe kusukela ekuqaleni kuya ekugcineni (ku-beta), isigaba esisha sezindawo eziphakanyisiwe ku-Apple Maps, kanye nesithombe sangemuva se-Pride Luminance esenziwe ngokwezifiso. Kanye nalezo, kunezilungiso zokuphepha ezingaphezu kuka-50 kanye nezinguquko ezimbalwa zekhwalithi yempilo ohlelweni lonke.

Lo mhlahlandlela uhlanganisa konke: ukuthi yini entsha, yimaphi ama-iPhone ayisekelayo, nokuthi yiziphi izici ezitholakala ezifundeni ezahlukene.

Yini entsha ku-iOS 26.5

1. Imiyalezo ye-RCS Ebethelwe Kusukela Ekugcineni Kuya Ekugcineni (i-Beta)

Lolu ushintsho olukhulu kakhulu ku-iOS 26.5. Uma uthumela umlayezo kothile ku-Android, uvame ukuba umlayezo we-RCS (uma bobabili abathwali bewusekela) noma i-SMS ecacile. Noma ngabe yikuphi, ingxoxo ayikabhalwa ngekhodi kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube manje.

Nge-iOS 26.5, i-Apple ingeze ukubethela kusukela ekuqaleni kuya ekugcineni ezingxoxweni ze-RCS. Lesi sici sakhiwe ngephrothokholi ye-Messaging Layer Security (MLS), eyasungulwa nge-Google kanye ne-GSMA. Uma isebenza, uzobona isithonjana sokukhiya kanye negama elithi “Encrypted” phezulu kwengxoxo.

Izinto ezimbalwa okufanele uzikhumbule:

• Isabizwa ngokuthi i-beta.
• Kokubili inkampani yakho yenethiwekhi kanye nenkampani yomsebenzisi we-Android kumele bayisekele. Uma uhlangothi olulodwa kuphela lunenkampani yenethiwekhi esekelwayo, ingxoxo ibuyela ku-RCS engabethelwe noma i-SMS ecacile, ngaphandle kwesixwayiso ngaphandle kokungabikho kwaleso sithonjana sokukhiya.
• Umsebenzisi we-Android udinga inguqulo yakamuva ye-Google Messages.
• Ukushintsha ngokuzenzakalela kuvuliwe uma usubuyekezile. Ungahlola okwakho ngaphansi kokuthi Izilungiselelo > Izinhlelo zokusebenza > Imilayezo > Imiyalezo ye-RCS.

Ukusekelwa kwenkampani yenethiwekhi akucaci okwamanje. Nakhu lapho izinto zimi khona:

• I-United States: Izinkampani zenethiwekhi ezingu-23 ziyasekelwa, okuhlanganisa i-AT&T, i-T-Mobile USA, i-Verizon Wireless, i-Boost Mobile, i-Cricket, i-Mint Mobile, kanye ne-Xfinity Mobile.
• I-Canada: izinkampani eziyi-12 zezindiza, okuhlanganisa i-Bell, i-Rogers, i-Telus, i-Fido, i-Freedom Mobile, kanye ne-Koodo.
• I-United Kingdom: I-Three, i-BT, kanye ne-EE. I-O2 kanye ne-Vodafone UK azikho ohlwini.
• Izwekazi laseYurophu: Cishe izinkampani zenethiwekhi ezingu-15 emazweni angu-9, ezihlanganisa izingxenye zase-Austria, eBelgium, eCzechia, eJalimane, eGrisi, eHungary, eSlovakia, naseSpain. Akukho nkampani yenethiwekhi yaseFrance, yase-Italy, noma yaseDashi ebhalwe ohlwini. I-Vodafone ayiveli ndawo eYurophu kulolu hlu.
• I-Asia-Pacific: Kuze kube manje kunezinkampani ezintathu kuphela ezibalwe: i-au ne-SoftBank eJapan, kanye ne-Singtel eSingapore. I-NTT DOCOMO kanye ne-Rakuten Mobile azikho. I-Australia, iNingizimu Korea, i-India, iShayina, kanye neNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia azifakiwe.
• I-Afrika: Akukho. Akukho nkampani yenethiwekhi yase-Afrika evela ekhasini lokusekela le-Apple elibethelwe le-RCS. I-MTN, i-Airtel, i-Globacom, i-9mobile, i-Safaricom, i-Vodacom, i-Orange Africa, kanye nabanye opharetha base-Afrika abakho ohlwini. Ikhasi lenkampani yenethiwekhi yase-Afrika le-Apple labuyekezwa okokugcina ngo-Ephreli 1, 2026, cishe amasonto ayisithupha ngaphambi kokuba i-iOS 26.5 iqaliswe, kanti amanye amakhasi esifunda avuselelwa ngosuku lokwethulwa. Leso sikhala sibalulekile ukuqaphela. Ukungabikho kuqinile njengesithombe salokho i-Apple ezibophezele kukho obala namuhla, kodwa kungase kungabonakali lokho opharetha abakuhlolayo buthule ngemuva.

Isifundo esiwusizo kubasebenzisi abaningi abangaphandle kwe-US ne-Canada: i-version ye-RCS ebethelwe izovela kuzilungiselelo zakho, kodwa lesi sici ngeke sisebenze ngaphandle kokuthi inkampani yakho yenethiwekhi isohlwini. Ngemiyalezo yangasese yesikhulumi, i-Signal ne-WhatsApp zihlala ziyizinketho ezithembekile.

2. Izindawo eziphakanyisiwe ku-Apple Maps
