Apple Seeds Fourth Betas of iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

Apple on Tuesday seeded the fourth betas of iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 to developers and public beta testers for testing. The new beta releases come one week after the seeding of the third betas.

Beta builds of iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 are available to developers through the Apple Developer Center or over the air on the devices with the proper configuration installed.

Public builds of iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 can be downloaded via the Apple Beta Software Program website by users signed up to take part in the testing program. If you’re interested in trying out the betas of the upcoming operating systems you can sign up for the program by clicking the same link.

There are references in iOS 15.5 to the upcoming “Apple Classical” app that Apple has in development to complement Apple Music, indicating the standalone app could soon see a launch.

The Apple Pay Cash section of the Wallet app now includes “Request” and “Send” buttons to make it easier to manage cash directly from Wallet.

Apple is also laying the groundwork in the beta for functionality that will allow developers of “reader” apps to add a link to an external website for the purpose of signing up for and managing accounts outside of the company’s App Store.

As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users to not install any betas on their daily driver iPhone or iPad. Instead, only install betas on a device set aside for testing purposes.
