Children’s fingers stick. If they touch your iPhone, expect smudges on the camera lens. This means that the next time you take a picture, the picture can bring a strange haze and you have to take a photo multiple times. It’s not always your child’s fault either. Even adults can blame dirty camera lenses. Fortunately, with iOS 26 beta When your camera lens needs cleaning, there is a feature that warns you so you don’t waste the perfect sunset or other timely moments.
Apple releases its fifth public beta iOS 26 August 25. Updates bring new Liquid glass design, Call Screening And more iPhone Works by developers and beta testers. The beta also introduces an easy-to-access feature called lens cleaning tips. When this feature is enabled, your iPhone will display a warning that you need to clean the lens.
This feature is automatically enabled for me after downloading iOS 26 beta, but you can find it here in case you turn it on. It is important to note that this feature is only iPhone 15 and later models, so if you have iPhone 14 Pro, You won’t see this option.
Don’t forget that iOS 26 is still in Beta. This means that the update may be wrong for you and the battery life of the device may be negatively affected, so it is best to keep these hassles away from your main device. If you want to try Beta, I recommend downloading it on the auxiliary device.
Apple can also adjust lens cleaning tips and other updates before the final version of iOS 26 is released this fall – I predict the next few weeks.
