Overview of New Features in iOS 26.2 Beta 3

Apple has released iOS 26.2 beta 3, which brings several exciting updates and features for iPhone users. One of the most notable changes is the introduction of AirDrop codes, allowing users to send files between devices without needing to be in each other’s contact lists for 30 days. Another highlight is the Liquid Glass-inspired Level in the Measure app, which has been refined for better usability. For multitasking on iPad, Apple has improved Slide Over and Split View, making it easier to drag apps out of the Dock. Additionally, there’s new code suggesting that Apple may soon allow users to replace Siri as the default voice assistant on the side button in Japan, as part of a regulatory requirement. The update also includes smoother animations, a redesigned Apple Podcasts app powered by AI, and changes to the Sleep Score categories to better reflect user feedback. For AirPods, Live Translation will soon be available in EU countries, while new Lock Screen customization options and enhanced reminders with alarms and timers are also part of the update. Finally, the Measure app has received further refinements to its Liquid Glass design and more features for Apple News and CarPlay.
