Apple Releases iOS 26.3 Beta 3 and iPadOS 26.3 Beta 3 to Developers [Download]

Apple has seeded the third betas of iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3 to developers for testing.



This release follows the first beta seeded in mid-December, which introduced a new native 'Transfer to Android' option in Settings to simplify switching devices. That build also included Notification Forwarding support for wearables in the European Union. A second beta was seeded to developers earlier this month.


The beta cycle arrives on the heels of iOS 26.2.1, which bring support for the new second generation AirTag.

It is not yet clear what specific changes are included in this third beta. We are installing the update now and will highlight any significant new features if they are discovered.

Developers can download the new build from the Apple Developer Center. It is also available over-the-air via Settings > General > Software Update by selecting the iOS 26 Developer Beta option.
