Apple Seeds Second Betas of iOS 13.3 and iPadOS 13.3 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the second betas of upcoming iOS and iPadOS 13.3 updates to developers, one week after seeding the first beta and two weeks after the release of iOS 13.2 with new emoji, Siri privacy controls, Deep Fusion, and more.

iOS and ??iPadOS?? 13.3 can be downloaded through the Apple Developer Center or over the air after the proper developer profile has been installed.

iOS 13.3 introduces Communication Limits for Screen Time, a feature that Apple promised would be coming in an iOS 13 update. Communication Limits allow parents to control who their children are able to contact both during downtime and during Screen Time.

Communication Limits include FaceTime, Phone, and Messages, along with iCloud contacts. Calls to emergency numbers are always allowed and will turn off communication limits for 24 hours when placed.

The iOS 13.3 update also appears to address a multitasking issue where iOS 13.2 users were seeing poor RAM management that caused apps like YouTube and Safari to reload more frequently than normal.

After installing iOS 13.3, affected users are now seeing fewer refreshes when accessing these apps, doing another task, and then opening them again.

In the Keyboards section of the Settings app (under General), there's a new toggle that prevents Animoji and Memoji stickers from being displayed as an option on the Emoji Keyboard, and when editing a video, there's an option to save the edited version as a new clip rather than saving over the original.

Apple has also tweaked the Apple Watch app icon, changing the color of the Digital Crown from black to gray.

Apple is on a roll with releases official and beta.

 

[Eorlas]

this says that 13.3 is fixing the background issue but didnt .2.2 also do the same?

 

[JanDdd]

I don’t care about the RAM mgmt issue, but I really hope it fixes the hotspot issues!!
It connects but without internet access.

I believe they recycled the previous beta article, which occurred before .2.2

 

[mistafro]

Fingers crossed for massive homekit bug fixes!

 

[Mr. Dee]

I am waiting until at least iOS 13.5 before I upgrade.

13.3 beta 1 was released before official 13.2.2, so it’s technically correct.

 

[calzon65]

I thought 13.2.2 was suppose to fix multitasking issues, I'm still seeing the same problem with 13.2.2 on certain Apple apps like Calendar.

if you are on a PC attaching to your hotspot, try flushing the IP on your machine. On a PC, it's :

c:> ipconfig /release
c:> ipconfig /renew

or

c:> ipconfig /registerdns

Good luck!

I’m not the one you replied to, but I just want to add that in my case if I have 2 or more phones connected via hotspot, they will randomly disconnect and also the hotspot will disappear from their list of WiFi access points.

Did you file a bug report?

 

[stevet]

Yeah, the necessity to release them so quick is what's alarming, the iPad, Mac, and iOS releases weren't ready and certiainly not tested enough.

 

[ghostface147]

Mail still freezes when opening from a notification for a few seconds.

 

[Dovydas]

Still can’t receive mail notification.

 

[umzyi]

What a mess! I have reported bug for this too but no response from Apple.

 

[Dovydas]

Out of necessity.

 

[I7guy]

Out of necessity.

As opposed to optionality?

 

[Dovydas]

As opposed to optionality?

Well yes, when you do the job properly then you can take your time and release a solid update when it’s ready. It used to be like that in the old days.

The old days? Like ios6?

I personally have had no issue with iOS 13 and I think it’s a solid update from iOS 12. I don’t see iOS 13 as being any better or worse than any other release in the last 5 years. That is, IMO.

I have an iPad Pro10.5 that is on Beta 13.3 Beta 1, while my iPhone 11 Pro is on 13.2.2, and I don't have an issue with no internet connection on Hotspot, but I am seeing cases where my iPad will disconnect and reconnect when using my phone's Hotspot. Just not sure if it's 13.2.2 or 13.3 Beta 1.

Wish I had!

Well then let me make my Tuesday evening cocktail and just relax. All is good. Forgive me, my mistake.

Thanks for the update!

Usable is a far cry from bug-free.
