• The iOS 18 public beta is very close: this is how you can prepare if you want to install it
• iOS 18 will have a new wallpaper that will change color depending on the time of day

Apple just released the third beta of iOS 18 for developers two weeks after releasing the second. A version of vital importance for several reasons: Apple is at the same pace as in previous years and the public beta is near. Normally, not many days pass from the launch of the third beta to the launch of the public one.

iOS 18 third beta now available for developers

If you’re part of Apple’s developer program, you can download and install this new beta version now. A version of which at the moment we do not know what new features it incorporates, but that we will summarize in an article as soon as we know them all.

In the previous version, for example, iPhone Mirroring was launched, which is the possibility of controlling the iPhone from the Mac. We also finally saw the App Store icon in dark mode, a new widget for the Wallet app, changes to the Passwords app and the iPhone’s power button in Control Center.
