Apple has released sixth iOS 9.3 pre-release beta for developers and public beta testers to use ahead of its release. The software update is expected to be released later this month. Features include a new Night Shift mode which changes the color temperature of displays, Touch ID- and password-protected items in the Notes app, new CarPlay features, expanded 3D Touch options, and much more.
Apple previously toyed around with changing how the Apple Pencil worked on iPad Pros — removing scrolling and panning navigation — but eventually decided to leave full functionality intact starting with beta 5.
Apple’s Health and Activity apps have also been upgraded with app recommendations, Apple Watch fitness data panels on the dashboard, a more detailed Workouts view, and more.
iCloud for iBooks enables PDF syncing between iOS devices, Verizon iPhones gain Wi-Fi Calling, Apple’s News app includes new enhancements, Apple Music doesn’t have to add playlists songs to My Music, multiple Apple Watches can be paired to a single iPhone, and many other changes are included.
The update measures around 38MB (relatively small) and could be one of the final betas before the GM or official release later this month.

Call me crazy but I would love either a) a different graphic each time there’s a beta update (.6 so 6 updates, times 2 for the public beta vs dev) or b) the top of the post being isolated to only show what is new as opposed to the run down of everything… lets reward people who every post about this by giving them what they came for, not a re-has.
That’s all the complainin’ I got for now.
So you want release notes for the beta? Isn’t that available at the Apple dev site?
Snap reaction on my part. I visit this site a couples times/day.. I’m not a developer and not on the public beta so I don’t visit the dev site. I would guess a good portion of readers who are also window-shopping on upcoming developer stuff would rather see it here as well than see a post on this site that there’s been an update and then go log-in to the developer site to see the release notes. I just get excited to see that there’s a new update and look to see what’s new.
Agree
Forgive spelling and grammar. Or don’t. Choose your own adventure.
I would agree. I’m not a developer but I am a public beta tester. I’d love to see an update since the last beta.
Yes agree would be nice
I Cant update to beta 9.3 even though I’m signed into the apple beta software program so what do I do?
And I’m TRYING to help beta test!
I had to add my account again. Due to a upgrade. Try signing back as a beta tester again. Worked for me
Bypass for the GovOS for Brute Force Attacking?
J/K – Relax . . . . . I think.
;)
No, I want to know how to do it or better yet, know why it keeps saying “there was an error processing your request”
any relatable help would be really appreciated
just wate.. it takes some time for Apple’s servers to catch up and make the update available to everybody. try again later
*wait
Finally, they (re-)added the functionality to watch videos full screen in the Music and Podcasts apps on iPad!
In iBooks, I noticed that the Purchased tab has been completely redesigned (quite buggy though) and now offers family sharing for audiobooks.
Anyone else’s text messaging not working after the update?
When will wi-fi calling work for Verizon??? 5S???
iOS 9.3 Beta 6
I’ve had Verizon WiFi Calling since Beta 4. It’s been quite nice thus far. A slight delay (but to be expected with Wifi Calling).

I’d like to see apple let its public change the clouds to differnt colours for texting. All we have is the standard clouds. Green or blue for iPhone
Be able to Change the cloud color for texting other then green and blue
A much better beta with way better battery saving would be awesome
The signal strength needs to be improved big time it was much better in iOS 9.1
