- Apple rolled out the iOS 14 beta 3 and iPadOS 14 beta 3 for developers on Wednesday.
- This is the first update we’ve seen for the upcoming software release since the iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 public betas rolled out to everyone earlier this month.
- iOS 14 is a massive update packed with hundreds of new features that you can read about right here — some highlights include home screen widgets, new Compact UI features, an App Library with all of your installed apps, and the redesigned Messages app.
Nearly two weeks after Apple opened the iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 betas to the public, the third beta has been seeded to developers, bringing us one step closer to the final version of the software set to be released this fall alongside the next-generation iPhone series. So far, the beta releases have been surprisingly stable, and although there are some compatibility issues with select apps, the software itself has been running smoothly.
The iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 public betas were released on July 9th, and included all of the features and improvements of the first two betas that were seeded to developers. If recent history is any guide, a new version of the public betas could begin rolling out as early as today, but shouldn’t take long to arrive regardless.
