Live translation in iOS 26 will turn the iPhone into a real-time interpreter for calls, messages and video chats, all without leaving your app or sending data to the cloud. Here’s how it works.
Translation got an upgrade in iOS 26
Live translation shows up where you already talk in Messages, FaceTime, and calls. It provides real-time, on-device interpretation of conversations without sending data to the cloud.
The feature is part of Apple Intelligence, a new system-wide framework for generative AI that works directly on supported devices. Live translation processes spoken and written conversations entirely on the iPhone.
