Apple rolled out iOS 14.6 beta 3 on Monday, just ten days after the previous beta version was released. As always, there are sure to be a few bug fixes and improvements in this update, but even if there aren’t any major new features, you should still install iOS 14.6 beta 3 as soon as possible if you’re on the beta track because dangerous new vulnerabilities are popping up with increasing regularity, and updates keep you protected.
This update likely won’t be nearly as exciting as iOS 14.5, but it should come with new features for Apple Podcasts Subscriptions, as well as this: “You can now directly update your iOS or iPadOS device to the latest Release Candidate without removing the beta profile. After updating to the Release Candidate, you can choose to update to the next available beta or uninstall the profile to remove your device from the beta program.”
Apple’s iOS 14.6 beta 3 is now available, alongside the corresponding iPad software update for developers, iPadOS 14.6 beta 3.
