Apple has just dropped public beta 3 versions of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, and visionOS 26. If you’re part of the public beta program, you can grab the new updates right now and test them out on your own devices.
Remember, beta software means bugs, glitches, and the occasional crash. Don’t put this on your only work device unless you enjoy living on the edge.
The iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 public beta 3 can be downloaded from the Settings app under Software Update. You’ll get the Liquid Glass design language throughout the system along with more refinements to built-in apps. iPadOS also continues to expand its new multitasking overhaul, with macOS-like resizable app windows now smoother and more stable than in previous betas.
The macOS 26 Tahoe public beta 3 is available via System Settings on your Mac. It brings the same Liquid Glass visual update seen across Apple’s platforms, plus more Apple Intelligence improvements, stability fixes, and under-the-hood changes. As always, avoid putting it on your main Mac unless you’re okay with risking work disruptions.
Public beta 3 of tvOS 26 is available via the Settings app on Apple TV. Changes are minor again this round, but there are small Apple TV app interface tweaks and general performance improvements.
The third public beta of watchOS 26 continues refining the Liquid Glass-inspired look for Apple Watch. You can install it through the Watch app on your iPhone. Keep in mind — there’s no going back to watchOS 25 if things break, so proceed with caution.
Vision Pro users can grab public beta 3 from the Settings app. This update polishes the new persistent widgets feature introduced earlier, making them more fluid and customizable for your digital workspace.
