Apple on Wednesday released the fourth betas of its upcoming new mobile operating systems, iOS 13 and iPadOS to developers for testing.
Beta builds are available to developers over the air on the devices with the proper configuration installed. Developers can also download the new betas from the Apple Developer Center.
As usual, MacTrast and Apple both warn users to not install any betas on your daily driver iPhone or iPad, instead only install it on a device set aside for testing purposes.
Changes discovered in the new betas include (via MacRumors):
Quick Actions – A refreshed look has been applied to Quick Actions on the Home screen. A new “Rearrange Apps” option allows users to quickly get to the wiggle mode that allows apps to be moved around.
Quick Actions Menu Size – The menu that pops up when using a Quick Action is now smaller in size and the icons less obtrusive and have been relocated to the right side of the menu interface.
3D Touch Settings – In the Accessibility section of the Settings app, new options are available for 3D Touch in the 3D & Haptic Touch section. A new “Touch Duration” section is alongside the sensitivity slider. The Touch Duration option allows changing the amount of time it takes to reveal content previews, actions, and contextual menus.
Share Sheet – Minor design changes have been made to the Share Sheet in iOS 13, including tweaked the colors and added transparency.
Voice Messages – When recording a voice-based message in Messages, a new icon displays for the option, which is a waveform rather than a microphone icon.
