THINGS 3.22
Things is ready for iOS and watchOS 26, with a new app icon, an entirely refreshed interface, more styles for the icon and widgets, and a control button on Apple Watch.
FRESH LOOK & FEEL
• Things’ interface has been completely refreshed in every corner. You’ll notice increased rounding of corners for windows, dialogs, and to-dos; and glassy buttons that reflect and refract their surroundings.
• Things’ icon has been refined and realigned to sit beautifully within iOS 26. It’s familiar at a glance - and unmistakably Things.
• Icon & widget styles: In addition to the Dark and Tinted styles, iOS 26 introduces Clear - a glass-like style that lets your wallpaper shine through. To change your style on iPhone, long-press your Home Screen, then tap Edit > Customize.
CONTROL BUTTON ON APPLE WATCH
Things’ handy New To-Do control is now available on Apple Watch. Press the side button to reveal Control Center and tap Edit. The control button lets you quickly create a new to-do, via swipe, type, or talk.
We hope you enjoy using Things on iOS 26 and watchOS 26!
