Apple Seeds Second Betas of watchOS 11.3, tvOS 18.3 and visionOS 2.3 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today provided developers with the second betas of upcoming watchOS 11.3, tvOS 18.3, and visionOS 2.3 updates for testing purposes.

The betas are available to registered developers, and can be downloaded from the settings app on each device.

There were no notable new features found in the updates, but code suggests that Apple will add support for robot vacuums to HomeKit, which means it will be a supported category in the Home app in visionOS, tvOS, and watchOS.

tvOS 18.3 code suggests we won't be getting new TV and Movies and Soundscapes screen savers, which Apple had announced back in June. References to these screen savers have now been eliminated.

Apple also plans to add a new notice about digital movie and TV show sales in tvOS 18.3.

We are expecting tvOS 18.3, watchOS 11.3, and visionOS 2.3 to be released sometime in late January alongside iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3.

🥳🎉
Any new features for VisionOS? I haven’t checked the release notes yet. I’m at work in the middle of a project.
I will update as soon as I have a chance.

it will be a supported category in the Home app in visionOS, tvOS, and watchOS

FYI there is no dedicated “Home app” in tvOS.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but I have an iCloud photos album that I want to use for my Apple TV screesaver, there are over 500 pictures in it, but the screensaver only seems to shuffle through 20 of them.

Can someone who is updating to this version of watchOS for me confirm if the remote app still is limited to just AppleTVs and doesnt control apple music libraries anymore? Thanks!

Dear Apple,

Please go back to the old interface. The new one sucks.

tvOS.

Went from a brilliantly simple and logical layout... to an unadulterated mess in one fail swoop.
