Apple rolls out watchOS 26.1, tvOS 26.1, and visionOS 26.1 Release Candidate to Beta Testers

After weeks of beta testing, Apple has finally started rolling out the Release Candidate versions of watchOS 26.1, tvOS 26.1, and visionOS 26.1 to beta testers. These update comes around one week after the release of the fourth developer betas. Changes in these versions are minor and focused on stability and performance, while iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, and macOS Tahoe 26.1 come with a notable amount of features and changes, such as the new Liquid Glass setting, which is currently unavailable on watchOS and tvOS.

We can expect the final versions to be released to the public as soon as next week. Users who are registered as a developer on www.developer.apple.com can opt in to receive beta updates by going into Settings>General>Software Update>Beta Updates and selecting Developer Beta. Do note that these versions are not stable and are meant for testing purposes.
