It’s been at least a couple of weeks since Apple’s last iOS update was released, so that means we were long overdue for a new beta. What, you thought Apple was going to leave well enough alone until after the holidays? The company loves betas far too much for that, so it decided to surprise us with a new release on Tuesday afternoon. iOS 13.3.1 beta 1 has now been released for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch lineup, while iPadOS 13.3.1 beta 1 was released alongside it for all compatible iPad models. This release is all about bug fixes and ironing out even more wrinkles — like a Screen Time bug that has been annoying people — as opposed to adding new features, so you obviously shouldn’t expect anything mind-blowing in this release.

As we’re sure you know by now, installing a new iOS 13.3.1 or iPadOS beta on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch couldn’t be easier.

Whichever method you choose, just make sure to back up your device before installing the update.
