Well, it's that time of year again–Apple has unveiled its latest innovations, and we're thrilled to bring them into Zoho's suite of apps. With the release of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, and watchOS 26, Apple has delivered stunning designs and deeper intelligence that take performance and usability to the next level.
At Zoho, we've embraced these technologies to give you a more seamless, powerful, and accessible experience across our apps. With Liquid Glass, interfaces now feel lighter, clearer, and more responsive–menus glide in only when needed, reducing clutter and keeping your content front and center. The balance of translucency and depth makes every interaction more focused and effortless. And with Foundation Models powered by Apple Intelligence–available on devices that support it–tasks become faster, smarter, and context-aware. Summaries, suggestions, and insights happen seamlessly on your device, keeping your data private.
Accessibility is also central to these updates. With system-level features like VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Dark Mode, keyboard navigation, and more supported across many of our apps, tasks such as signing, authenticating, or reading content are now simpler, more inclusive, and easier for everyone. These features vary across apps, but collectively, they ensure Zoho apps feel more adaptive, modern, and user-friendly on every Apple device.
