iOS 16 beta 3 and iPadOS 16 beta 3 are now rolling out to developers, two weeks after the second beta was released. The last iOS 16 beta brought a number of changes, including updates to the Lock Screen, new wallpaper options, and more. iOS 16 beta 3 is expected to continue refining these new features…

Each new iOS 16 beta is likely to bring a significant number of changes, bug fixes, and even new features. Apple keeps a keen eye on the feedback it receives from iOS 16 beta testers, and each subsequent beta aims to address complaints, bug reports, and performance issues. 

The build number for iOS 16 beta 3 is 20A5312g. 

Here’s a recap of our coverage of iOS 16 beta 2 changes:

  • iOS 16 beta 2: Here’s everything new on iPhone and iPad
  • iOS 16 beta 2 adds iCloud backup support over LTE and 5G
  • iOS 16 beta 2 adds new menu to manage HomePod beta Software
  • iOS 16 beta 2 improves SMS filtering on Messages to iPhone users

Keep in mind that iOS 16 is currently only available to registered developer beta testers. The update will launch to public beta testers sometime this month, followed by a release to the general public in September. Testers should still expect performance and stability issues when running the iOS 16 beta on primary devices for the time being.
