Apple has started rolling out the third betas of iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, watchOS 26.4, visionsOS 26.4, and tvOS 26.4 to developers. These updates come just a week after the release of the second developer versions to the public, where Apple enabled End-to-End Encrypted RCS Messaging between iPhone and Android in iOS 26.4.
The third beta of macOS Tahoe 26.4 has not been released yet. This is not the first time Apple has segregated macOS beta releases, so we can expect it to be released tomorrow alongside more product announcements by Apple (possibly new MacBooks).
We can expect the next betas to be released next week as Apple gears up for the final release. Initially, these versions, especially iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, and macOS Tahoe 26.4, were expected to launch with the new revamped Siri with deeper app controls, and more. However, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported earlier that the revamp is facing delays again after internal testing, with key features now expected to slip to iOS 26.5 or even iOS 27.
Users who are registered as a developer on www.developer.apple.com can opt in to receive beta updates by going into Settings>General>Software Update>Beta Updates and selecting Developer Beta.
Do note that these versions are not stable and are meant for testing purposes. How excited are you about these upcoming software updates with useful new features?
