Beta 3 of iOS 13.2 & iPadOS 13.2 Available for Testing

Apple has released iOS 13.2 beta 3 along with iPadOS 13.2 beta 3 for users who are enrolled in the beta testing programs for iPhone and iPad.

Both a developer beta and public beta build (17B5077a) are available to eligible users.

iOS 13.2 beta includes support for Deep Fusion, a camera feature available to iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max that reportedly produces higher detailed images. Additionally, iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2 include new Emoji icons like a skunk, orangutang, and banjo, the re-inclusion of AirPods ‘Announce Messages’ Siri feature, and a handful of other smaller features and adjustments. The software releases also aim to address issues and bugs found in prior iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 versions.

Users who are actively enrolled in the beta testing programs for iOS and iPadOS will find the iOS 13.2 beta 3 and iPadOS 13.2 beta 3 updates available now on their devices through Settings app > General > Software Update.

Beta system software is typically less stable and more prone to bugs than final builds, but nonetheless anyone can run and install iOS 13 public beta or iPadOS 13 public beta on an eligible device if interested.

Apple typically does through multiple beta builds before releasing a final version to the general public, thus a final version of iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2 is reasonably likely to become available sometime later in the fall.

Separately, Apple has also released new beta builds for watchOS 6.1 and tvOS 13.2, along with an update to Safari Tech Preview for Mac. The first beta of macOS 10.15.1 Catalina was introduced a few days prior.

The latest stable version of iOS and iPadOS is currently iOS 13.1.3 and iPadOS 13.1.3.
