The iOS 26.3 version is getting a new beta this week from Apple which allows iPhone users to move to the next stage of the process.
iOS 26.3 moving to beta 2 means Apple is gradually working on the full version
The iOS 26.3 update cycle is gradually moving ahead and this week iPhone users are getting the iOS 26.3 beta 2 version from Apple. The new beta update is part of the company’s final goal to have more AI features available and also Siri AI working the way Apple has shown in previous ads.
The iOS 26.3 version is tipped to offer new features but the beta 2 update seems fairly lightweight compared to the previous iterations which makes it easy to break down and explain about what the users can expect over the next few weeks.
iOS 26.3 Beta 2 Update Is Here: New Features Coming?
The iOS 26.3 beta 2 update is not flushed with new features or options but reports suggest Apple has added some new tweaks that will be more usable when the future updates release. The iOS 26.3 beta 2 version gives us hints that Apple is close to bringing end-to-end encryption support for RCS messages in the Messages app for iOS devices. It is not a sure deal that the company will have the feature available with this version but the new code strings suggest Apple might be close to making it happen.
Besides this, iOS 26.3 beta 2 doesn’t bring anything substantially different and the full download size of 1.28 GB is probably one of the smallest installs we have done with an iOS update in recent times.
You have the same data transfer tool that allows you to send files and other photos from an iPhone to an Android phone a lot more seamlessly. It also supports a third-party notification forward option which allows you to receive alerts on third-party devices.
