Apple today provided developers with the third betas of upcoming visionOS 2.6, tvOS 18.6, and watchOS 11.6 updates for testing purposes. The software comes two weeks after Apple released the second betas.

The betas are available to registered developers at the current time, and can be downloaded from the Settings app on each device.

There's no word on what's included in the beta updates at this time and no features were discovered in the first two beta rounds, but we'll update this article if anything new is found.

Given they’re enabling WebGPU by default in visionOS 26, and have already enabled WebXR by default in visionOS 2, it’s really unfortunate you can’t use WebGPU from WebXR yet; it’s not even available behind an optional feature flag.

visionOS 26 developer beta makes more sense that 2.6 — updates there are significant and I has not been any less stable than 2.x series.
