But yesterday, on February 11, Apple finally released the public version of iOS 26.3.<\/p>\n<p>This update does not introduce large interface changes or new core system functions, as major platform changes are expected later with iOS 27, while iOS 26.4 is expected to deliver the updated Siri experience powered by Apple Intelligence. Still, we cannot ignore iOS 26.3, and in this article, we list all the changes it introduces.<\/p>\n<h2>New Features in iOS 26.3<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned above, iOS 26.3 does not introduce a long list of major upgrades. Apple focuses on targeted additions and regulatory adjustments rather than large-scale redesigns. Still, several new features deserve attention.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>iOS 26.3 introduces a built-in option that allows you to transfer data directly from an iPhone to a supported Android device. The feature appears in Settings under <strong>General<\/strong>  <strong>Transfer or Reset iPhone<\/strong>  <strong>Transfer to Android<\/strong>. Once both devices are placed close to each other, the system guides users through a wireless migration process. The tool supports the transfer of photos, messages, notes, apps, passwords, phone numbers, and in some cases even eSIM profiles, depending on carrier compatibility. Health data, locked notes, and paired Bluetooth devices remain excluded. This addition removes the need for third-party apps and simplifies the switching process. Apple does not promote migration away from iOS, but it now provides a structured and controlled method for users who decide to move.<img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-209214\" src=\"https:\/\/news.macgasm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/android-transfer-option.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/news.macgasm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/android-transfer-option.jpg 1205w, https:\/\/news.macgasm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/android-transfer-option-283x300.jpg 283w, https:\/\/news.macgasm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/android-transfer-option-471x500.jpg 471w, https:\/\/news.macgasm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/android-transfer-option-768x815.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.macgasm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/android-transfer-option-696x738.jpg 696w, https:\/\/news.macgasm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/android-transfer-option-1068x1133.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/news.macgasm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/android-transfer-option-24x24.jpg 24w\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-original=\"https:\/\/news.macgasm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/android-transfer-option.jpg\" alt=\"android transfer option\" width=\"1205\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABLAAAAKkAQMAAAAqeFQ7AAAAA3NCSVQICAjb4U\/gAAAABlBMVEX\/\/\/\/\/\/\/9VfPVsAAAAAnRSTlMA\/1uRIrUAAAAJcEhZcwAACxIAAAsSAdLdfvwAAAAcdEVYdFNvZnR3YXJlAEFkb2JlIEZpcmV3b3JrcyBDUzbovLKMAAAAFnRFWHRDcmVhdGlvbiBUaW1lADAxLzI5LzE536V52wAAAHpJREFUeJztwQENAAAAwqD3T20ON6AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAHA47LAAHp9LjEAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1205px) 100vw, 1205px\"\/><\/li>\n<li>iOS 26.3 also updates the Share interface in Safari. When you tap the Share button, the layout now looks different. Most notably, that Add to Favorites no longer appears as a circular shortcut at the top.
