Both iPad OS and iOS16 Beta3 are now available, and they bring with them several fresh upgrades and adjustments to the new capabilities that were first introduced at last month’s WWDC. Check out the list of updates for iOS 16 beta 3 and iPad OS 16 beta 3 below.
The public expects to receive iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 this fall. In the run-up to that fall release, we anticipate Apple will continue modifying the updates. Additionally, the first public beta of iOS 16 is about to release.
It’s also important to keep in mind that adjustments and improvements aren’t always linear, particularly in the early beta releases. As a result, something that was functional in iOS 16 beta 2 might not be functional in iOS 16 beta 3. Always be cautious before moving forward.
After all of that, what includes iOS 16 beta 3? Check it out below.

3. Lockdown ModeÂ
Lockdown Mode, a new severe security precaution, is available in iOS 16 and later, iPad OS 16, and macOS Ventura. It is an optional security measure, design to shield a select group of prominent users from state-sponsored spyware’s targeted intrusions.
Journalists, activists, government workers, and other people who might be the subject of sophisticated cyberattacks are the goal of Lockdown Mode. It limits several iPhone features and is not intended for regular users. For instance, FaceTime calls restricts from strangers, and block messages with files other than photos.
Web browsers are unable to use advanced web technologies or surfing functions, Â sharing of albums is removed from the Photos app, wired connections restrict, and configuration profiles cannot install.
4. Font of Lock Screen Time
The customizable iOS 16 Lock Screen now offers 12 typefaces, including two that are heavier variations of the previously accessible serif font and one that is narrower than previous fonts.
5. Lock Screen Calendar Widget
The Calendar Lock Screen widget no longer displays information about the next event while the iPhone is locked for privacy reasons. Until the iPhone’s owner unlocks it, the information remains blurred.

Widgets won’t obstruct the view of the planet any longer thanks to the Earth Lock Screen wallpaper. When widgets are utilized, the earth picture goes below; otherwise, it moves upward. Widgets overlapped in earlier beta versions.
