Apple has just seeded a new developer build of iOS 8.3. The beta can be downloaded on Apple’s developer website. iOS 8.3 beta 2 was released just over two weeks ago. Apple also released a new 10.10.3 build today with Force Touch APIs. There are also new developer seeds for Xcode and Apple TV.
Previous betas of iOS 8.3 have shown that the release will include new features like wireless CarPlay, more diverse Emojis, a new Emoji keyboard for input, tweaked login for Google services as well as support for Apple Pay in China. You can find details of these changes in our previous coverage.
We will update this post with any changes found in the new seed.
– Apple Watch app is now included in iOS 8 beta 3, like the current public version of iOS 8.2.
– Messages settings has a new ‘Conversation List Filtering’ option. It adds tabs to the Messages app which separate messages with people in your contacts and everyone else.
– Messages from unknown contacts now include a ‘Report Junk’ link. This apparently sends a report to Apple with the message details for review.
– Unnamed Groups now name the members of the group instead of the generic ‘Group’ title.

What languages does Siri support in this beta? I would like to get an update on that (I know you’re just discovering additions atm) :)
Polish and Dutch I read somewhere
RN is here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/releasenotes/General/RN-iOSSDK-8.3/index.html
can u confirm?
I see Dutch, but not Polish.
Hmm, I was only half-right:
“Later this year, when iOS 8.3 is released to the public, Siri will be able to speak and understand Russian, Danish, Dutch, Thai, Turkish, Swedish and Portuguese.”

Interested if this will remove the Apple Watch app that .2 added, unasked.
Still on my iPhone 6 after upgrade.
I can install iOS 8.3, although not developer?
I don’t see how, if you don’t have access to the developer portal.
I stand corrected:

Do I need to turn off Verizon VOLTE for this build like in 8.3 beta 2?
Does this new build have the new Apple Watch app?
Yes, it has the new Apple Watch app.
When will apple fix facetime landscape on Apple TV
Not familiar with this issue. Do you mean AirPlaying a FaceTime call from your iOS device to the Apple TV? What happens in landscape?
Surely, this is sparked from that Iggy Azalea / Papa John’s incident. Ultimately, I hope they create a whitelist for calls. I only want people to be able to call me IF they’re in my contact list.
Did they fix the Voice over LTE (Verizon) issue from Beta 2? Also, I believe there was a problem with answering and initiating phone calls (via facetime audio) on a Mac?
