Apple has released iPadOS 26.6 for compatible iPads.
According to Apple’s release notes, the update fixes an issue where the authorization screen did not appear when requesting access to blood pressure data in HealthKit. It also resolves a bug that could cause incorrect average readings for certain health data, such as resting heart rate, when samples overlapped.
The update also fixes a Messages issue where HDR screenshots could appear corrupted after being sent.
For users of Stickers, Apple resolved a problem that could prevent existing stickers from appearing or stop new stickers from being created if sticker data became corrupted. The issue could also affect other devices through iCloud sync.
Developers using Object Capture will also benefit from a fix for an issue that could cause image capture and reconstruction to fail.
Apple also fixed a StoreKit Simulator issue that prevented SKTestSession from properly connecting to the test environment.
iPadOS 26.6 is now available for supported iPad models through Settings > General > Software Update.
