The third beta version of iOS 10.2, MacOS Sierra 10.12.2, tvOS 10.1. and watchOS 3.1.1 is now available for developers barely a week after Apple released the last update.
iOS 10.2 beta 3 is accompanied by the third betas for MacOS Sierra 10.12.2 and tvOS 10.1, while the previous versions of the beta updates included support for new emoji, SOS feature and more.
Developers can now download iOS 10.2 beta 3 directly from the Apple developer center. The release notes for the iOS 10.2 beta do not mention any new features. However, the previous two beta builds amazed us with a few new additions, reports CultOfMac.
MacOS Sierra is the latest Mac operating system since September. It included support for Siri, Apple Pay for the web, Apple Watch auto-unlocking, Universal Clipboard, Picture-in-Picture multitasking, improved iCloud Drive integration, and other features.
Apple Watch users can also get the watchOS 3.1.1 through the dedicated Apple Watch app on iPhone. Users have to go to General, Software, then Update.
For the installation of the watchOS 3.1.1 beta update, Apple Watch battery must be at least 50 percent charged and the device must be connected to the charger. Most importantly, Apple Watch must be in the range with iPhone as, watchOS 3.1 beta update requires an iPhone that runs on iOS 10 to install, Mac Rumors reported.
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus users will get a new batch of wallpapers with iOS 10.2 and the iOS update also brings the new TV app to all iPhones and iPads. The SOS feature, which was added in iOS 10.2 beta 2, appears to have been pulled out from the newest build.
MacOS 10.12.2 beta 3 have a number of bug fixes and performance enhancements. The latest update will also contain support for all the new Unicode 9.0 emoji with that the Mac users will now be able to send shrugs, avocados, face palms, sharks and other characters over SMS and iMessage.
In the release notes for tvOS 10.1 beta 3 there were not mentioning of any major changes. Apple is likely working on under-the-hood improvements for the new TV app, which is set to make a debut on the Apple TV in December, reports TechTimes.
For now, all the major and minor changes for the third set of betas have yet to be discovered.
