Apple has already started the iOS 26.4 beta cycle for developers and public testers, and now it has pushed a smaller update to everyone on the stable track. iOS 26.3.1 is rolling out for iPhone users, and you can install it over the air from the Settings app.

This looks like a minor point release, so you should expect a short download and a quick install compared with a major update. Apple also says iOS 26.3.1 adds support for the new Studio Display and Studio Display XDR, alongside other fixes.

Changes in iOS 26.3.1

Apple positions iOS 26.3.1 as a maintenance update, so you should not expect big new features. Reports tied to Apple’s release notes say the update adds support for the new Studio Display and Studio Display XDR, and it also includes unspecified bug fixes.

If you already run iOS 26.4 beta, you will not see iOS 26.3.1 unless you switch back to the stable channel, since Apple treats the beta and stable tracks as separate update paths.

Let us know in the comments if iOS 26.3.1 fixed a bug you noticed, or if you ran into any new issues after updating.
