Apple Seeds Third Beta of iOS 18.5 to Developers

by

Apple today seeded the third betas of upcoming iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming a week after Apple released the second betas.

iOS 18
iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 can be downloaded from the Settings app on a compatible device by going to General > Software Update.

So far, iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 are relatively minor updates, introducing just a few new design changes. There are more options for reverting the Mail app back to the prior design, including removing contact photos, and AppleCare info is easier to find.

The update also likely has behind the scenes bug fixes and performance improvements.

Apple is transitioning to iOS 19 and iPadOS 19, which are set to be previewed in June at the Worldwide Developers Conference.

Hope we get at least one new feature
We won’t. It’s the same build number as beta 2.

Apparently the Apple Watch fully charged notification is enabled again in this release?
Wouldn’t that be nice.

Is there any info on which bugs have been fixed? So far I couldn’t verify a single bug to be fixed. They are all still there.
