AI Personality Enhancements: GPT-5 Becomes Friendlier and Claude Acquires Conversation-Closer Feature
Generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and others must not be mistaken for actual individuals. They lack authentic personalities, functioning based on an internal system prompt that is not visible to the user, which governs their actions. Nevertheless, the companies developing these AIs consistently enhance their offerings, which includes modifying their personalities. Recently, both ChatGPT (GPT-5) and Claude received notable updates that are expected to affect the user interaction.
While OpenAI made adjustments to the GPT-5 personality to counteract complaints that arose shortly after the introduction of this advanced ChatGPT version, Anthropic equipped Claude with the capability to autonomously terminate conversations if the AI assesses that a particular interaction could be detrimental. These personality modifications are expected to be present in the ChatGPT and Claude applications, although not all users may observe them immediately. The changes to GPT-5 are subtle. In the case of Claude, the chatbot will only conclude conversations in exceptional circumstances.

iOS 26 Beta 7 Launched Showcasing New Improvements and Bug Repairs
in the earlier beta, we assumed that Apple might be finished introducing new features, but the company ultimately added seven new ringtones, enhanced the Liquid Glass design with greater transparency on various UI elements, and modified the Camera app to eliminate the Classic Mode toggle, which has now become the default setting for users in response to feedback.
Crucially, 9to5Mac discovered code references indicating that Live Translation will also be available for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4. As per the publication, this feature will extend to face-to-face conversations as well. Although it wasn’t testable in the previous beta, it’s plausible that the feature will be included in iOS 26 beta 7.

Beta Code Suggests iOS 26 Might Implement End-To-End Encryption for RCS Messaging on iPhone
Apple recently introduced RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging to the iPhone just over a year ago. This new standard significantly enhanced the way messages are sent between iPhone and Android devices. Nevertheless, iPhone users are still anticipating Apple to implement complete end-to-end encryption for RCS, which is one of the key advantages of RCS — in addition to improved quality of media sharing, reactions, read receipts, and other functionalities offered by the messaging protocol.
Earlier this year, Apple revealed its intention to implement end-to-end encryption for RCS on the iPhone, but the company has not yet provided a specific timeframe. However, newly discovered code by Android Authority in the iOS 26 beta indicates that this privacy feature might be on the way sooner than expected. It would be a highly desired improvement, particularly given the lengthy delay Apple took to bring RCS to iOS devices originally.
Encryption is among the most significant advantages of RCS
