Apple’s upcoming iOS 26 release, scheduled for September, introduces several new productivity features that promise to enhance the end-user experience. However, these updates can also raise important questions for organizations that rely on the Movius MultiLine app for compliant communications.
This article clarifies the impact of iOS 26 on the Movius MultiLine app and outlines what you need to know before upgrading.
Key iOS 26 Features and Their Implications
Call Screening
What it does:
The new Call Screening feature (user-controllable via iOS settings) inspects incoming calls against your device contacts. If the number is not in your device contacts, iOS 26 prompts the caller to disclose information before the call is connected.
Impact on Movius MultiLine App:
- Minutes Mode: No impact. In minutes mode, all incoming calls are routed through a Movius-powered service number that is already stored in the user’s device contacts as a Movius Service Contact. As a result, iOS 26 will not trigger call screening for these calls. If, for any reason, the user has deleted the Movius Service Contact, the Movius MultiLine App automatically recreates it.
- Data Mode: No impact. Data mode calls in the Movius MultiLine app are not subject to iOS call screening.
Conclusion: Users can continue to rely on both minutes and data modes without disruption.
Liquid Glass (UI Updates)
What it does:
- Introduces several new UI and visual enhancements to improve the iOS 26 experience.
- Changes the way applications are expected to support certain types of search and interface interactions.
Impact on Movius MultiLine App:
- Current and upcoming versions of the Movius MultiLine App are fully compatible with iOS 26.
- No compatibility issues or negative UI side effects.
- Apple requires developers to adopt Xcode 26 (the updated development platform) starting in 2026.
- Adoption of Liquid Glass UI features is under product review. Movius will selectively introduce enhancements in line with Apple standards as part of the 2026 roadmap.
Conclusion: iOS 26 does not disrupt app functionality or prevent Movius from publishing new versions. Liquid Glass adoption will follow at the right time.
Xcode 26 and Intune SDK Updates
What it does:
- Xcode 26 is the latest version of Apple’s Xcode framework for iOS development.
- It introduces several enhancements and benefits for application development.
Impact on Movius MultiLine App:
- Movius MultiLine App currently uses Xcode 16 and plans to upgrade to Xcode 26 as part of the October release.
- Movius MultiLine App will add support for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite feature powered by Starlink as part of the October release. This requires upgrading the Movius MultiLine Application to Xcode 26.
- When we upgrade to Xcode 26, we have to upgrade our Intune SDK to the latest compatible version.
Conclusion: These updates will not affect end users. MultiLine will remain fully compatible with iOS 26 and earlier versions, with no action required from users.
What This Means for You
- No action required: Customers and end-users can safely upgrade to iOS 26 when it is released in September.
- No compliance concerns: Call screening and Liquid Glass do not interfere with MultiLine operations or communication logging.
- Future-ready: Movius will continue to evolve the MultiLine App to align with Apple’s development roadmap, without compromising stability or compliance.
