Unlike previous versions of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), where Apple announced new features separately by operating system, WWDC 2026 combined information to focus on three overall categories.

The second group, trust and safety, focused on child safety, with Apple introducing new parental controls that give parents more granular control over the technology experiences their children can have. The…

According to the complaint, Ramacciotti secretly accessed Apple software engineer Ethan Lipnik’s iPhone and showed Prosser a preliminary version of the software in exchange for payment. Lipnik was later fired. Prosser missed…

Images Tada/Shutterstock Apple’s App Store has undergone several changes over the years. Earlier this year, Apple’s App Store began showing more ads, but subscriptions through the App Store have also become cheaper.

He started one in 2017, then removed it two years later, in 2019, to encourage more public conversations in the comments section.…
Primakov/Shutterstock Instagram users rejoice: Meta finally provides something the platform needed a long time ago. It looks like someone at the company is finally listening, as Instagram also recently gave users the green light to edit comments in April 2026 (with a catch, of course). Those familiar with the platform probably know that your posts usually appear on your profile via a grid in the order in which you posted them.
