\t\"iPadOS<\/p>\n

Apple has just released its latest wave of beta software, with developer beta 3 arriving for iPadOS 26.2, tvOS 26.2, and more.<\/p>\n

New features in Apple\u2019s 26.2 updates so far<\/p>\n

Apple has said that iOS 26.2 and its companion updates will release in just a few weeks<\/a>, and today the latest beta versions debuted.<\/p>\n

Beta 3 is rolling out for iPadOS 26.2, tvOS 26.2, watchOS 26.2, and more.<\/p>\n

So far in the beta process, we\u2019ve seen new features arrive for nearly every platform.<\/p>\n

iPadOS 26.2, by nature of being so closely tied to iOS\u2019s updates, has been among the biggest beneficiaries so far. New features include a great Reminders alarm option<\/a>, automatic AI-generated chapters<\/a> for Apple Podcasts, offline lyrics<\/a> in Apple Music, and more.<\/p>\n

watchOS 26.2 includes updates to Sleep Score, which has a revised grading system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

tvOS 26.2 brings two additions<\/a>: you can create user profiles without an Apple Account, and there\u2019s a special kids mode in the TV app.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s beta 3 releases could offer even more changes across Apple\u2019s platforms, and we\u2019ll keep you posted on any discoveries we make.<\/p>\n

After this beta, Apple will likely start shifting its focus to prioritizing bug fixes and performance improvements.<\/p>\n

Larger releases such as iOS 26.0 go through lengthy beta cycles, but for an update like 26.2, it\u2019s typical to have around four betas before the RC. That means user-facing new features will probably be minimal in future releases.<\/p>\n

Have you discovered anything new in beta 3 for iPadOS 26.2, tvOS 26.2, or another update? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
