Update: iOS 9 beta 3 for public beta testers is also available.
Apple today released iOS 9 beta 5 for registered developers testing the new operating system ahead of its release this fall. The latest build comes two weeks and two days after the previous version, which included tweaked icons, the return of Home Sharing support, a new Handoff UI, a cleaner Apple Music experience, and changes to how Apple Pay can be activated on the lock screen. Headlining features in iOS 9 include an overhauled Notes app, transit directions in Maps, multitasking features on iPad, a News app, and much more. As Apple starts to fine tune these releases, changes between each build should slow down. We’ll explore the latest beta for any notable differences, and let us know if you spot any changes as well.

Go away, dude.
When will the PB3 be finally here? Mac OS X got 3 updates in a row, now this. I really need that update.
If you really ‘need’ that update, you shouldn’t be installing a beta.
Well I want to know how improved the system will be over the last update. There’s only one little issue with the current one and isn’t the point of PB to get public to try the unreleased system?
I’m not going against Apple. It’s just, everything but iOS PB is getting an update.
PBs usually get released a day after it is released for developers. Key word “usually”
PB3 is here now — I have it on OTA
Yep, downloading it now
Your in luck. It just shown up in OTA
Needs passcode after 48 hours now instead of just re-entering it after a restart for unlocking your phone.
Always been that way
Also there’s a new “Regulations” section inside Settings – General.
i can change fast between emoji’s by sliding my finger on the icons down of them.. i don’t know if it’s new or not but I’ve just found that :P
Delete All Trash in Mail app has returned!!!
Whos able to transfer purchases from iOS 9 beta 5 ? Checked developers forum there is nothing about it. Any idea ? Ty
