I've been reading lots of problems with the new IOS 26. Lots of changes in the format, pictures, home screen.  I'm hesitating to download on my iPad and iPhone. Just wondering if anyone can share any experience they've had with this...

@SleeplessinSD I have downloaded IOS 26 and found no differences. But I only use it for the calender, checking mail and Facebook

I did the update on 3 Apple devices with no issues.  My iPad screen looks slightly different, but barely noticeable.  You should always update or your interaction with websites may be impacted.

I did the initial 26 update (and subsequent minor updates) on a new iPad and old iPhone and had no issues.  Some things are a little different and some you can change back or delete like most updates.  But I choose not to use many of the options and try to keep it simple.

I updated my phone over the weekend, really did not mean to do so but wasn't about to stop it once it began. Fingers are crossed!

I did the update on my phone and my Apple watch a few days ago with no problems and no big changes.  I've kinda held off on the ipad because of things I read, but I guess I'll do that today now that I've seen the answers here.

I down loaded this to my iMac desk top, so my experience may be different. One good change: the book marks, It took me a while to catch on, but once I did I really liked it. 

 I could delete add/any BookMark with ease.

 

I also noticed that similar or interesting sites have popped right up under the site I was watching.

 

I know that my post is not too clear, but that's my limitation right now. Sorry.
