Apple today announced several new features coming to the Messages app with iOS 26.
iOS 26 allows users to set custom backgrounds in conversations, and it introduces the ability to create polls.
In the Messages app, users can now screen messages from unknown senders. Apple says messages from unknown senders will appear in a dedicated folder, where users can mark the phone number as known, ask for more information, or delete it. These messages will remain silenced until a user accepts them.
