Apple has released the second public betas of iOS 26.3, iPadOS 26.3, macOS Tahoe 26.3, watchOS 26.3, and tvOS 26.3 for software testers. These updates arrive just a day after Apple seeded the second developer betas.
The iOS 26.3 beta cycle has introduced a few notable changes so far. Most significantly, the first beta added a native 'Transfer to Android' option in Settings, simplifying the process of moving data to a competing device. It also included support for Notification Forwarding on wearables in the European Union.
It is not yet clear if Public Beta 2 contains any major new user-facing features, as the corresponding developer build released yesterday appeared to focus primarily on bug fixes and performance improvements following the holiday break.
You can join the Apple Beta Software Program to try out the new software. Once enrolled, navigate to Settings > General > Software Update on your device and select the public beta from the "Beta Updates" row.
