Apple has released the fourth developer betas of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, bringing additional improvements and changes to the new iPhone and iPad features. iOS 14 beta 4 adds support for the Exposure Notification API, restores 3D Touch functionality, and more.
iOS 14 beta 4 features the build number of 18A5342e. Developers can update from beta 1 via the Settings app. Simply open the Settings app, choose General, then choose Software Update. If you don’t see iOS 14 beta 4 immediately, keep checking as the update is still rolling out.
iOS 14 is also available to public beta users, but no new beta has been released to those users this week. It’s possible that the next iOS 14 public beta build is released later today or tomorrow, but a release next week is not out of the question.

What’s new in iOS 14 beta 4?

- 3D Touch has returned for supported devices after being unsupported in iOS 14 beta 3
