Apple rollout of iOS 13 beta 3 was a bit rocky, with the subsequent public beta not dropping until a full week later, but the rollout of the latest beta appears to be going more smoothly. iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 public beta 3 arrived on time this week, without any mysterious delays or waves of bug reports from users with developer accounts.
Some of the improvements in the latest iOS beta release include a new icon for voice messages in the Messages app, smaller app menus on the Home screen, a new Rearrange Apps button when you long-press an app, better 3D Touch performance, and a much needed fix for the security issue that arose in the last beta.
Providing you own a compatible device (a list of which we’ve conveniently included below), you can grab the public beta from Apple’s beta website right now. Head over to that link, then either sign up or sign in to your account to gain access to both the iOS 13 public beta and the brand new iPadOS public beta as well.
