iOS 26 Has Been Painful

iOS 26.1 cannot come soon enough. Due to my daughter upgrading iOS26, I had to completely reset all the parental control, screen time, content and privacy setting. And of course, I had to upgrade to iOS26 in order to fix the settings on my children's phones. My 14 year-old daughter was absolutely livid that she is now 9 years old according to her iphone.

Of course, this also means that if you share parental control with the father of your children, then he also needs to update. Coordinating these IT tasks has been a lot of work for me this past week. I also of course experienced some issues with how Carplay works now. I think there has been some issues with the Meta glasses as well, but I do not use that enough to pay too much attention, but my biggest issue has been the huge battery drain and needing to have my power bank with me to manage the anxiety.

The graphics around liquid glass has not been compelling enough for me to over look all the UX problems with this new update.
