Apple Releases iOS 8 Beta 3 to Developers

Apple today released the third beta of iOS 8 to developers, three weeks after releasing the second beta update (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/17/apple-releases-ios-8-beta-2-to-developers/) and more than a month since unveiling (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/02/apple-announces-ios-8/) the new operating system at the Worldwide Developers Conference.
 
 The update, build number 12A4318c, is available through Apple's over-the-air updating system on iOS devices and can also be downloaded via the iOS Dev Center. Apple has released a new beta version of Find My iPhone, a brand new iOS 8 version of Find My Friends, a new Apple TV beta, and updates to Swift, the programming language the company introduced at WWDC.

 iOS 8 introduces a range of new features (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-8/), including improved integration with OS X through Continuity, a Health app, Family Sharing features, interactive notifications, a new QuickType Keyboard and improvements to several apps like Safari, Mail, and Messages.
 
 The third iOS 8 beta includes several tweaks (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/07/ios-8-beta-3-tidbits/) to the operating system, like new options for iCloud Drive, a new Settings toggle for Handoff, and a new option to enable or disable QuickType. There's also been some changes to the look of the weather app and a few new simple wallpapers. For a full list of the changes to iOS 8 in beta 3, make sure to check out our <strong>Beta 3 Tidbits post</strong> (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/07/ios-8-beta-3-tidbits/).
 
 A June report suggested (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/26/ios-8-beta-3-july-8/) iOS 8 beta 3 would be released on Tuesday, July 8, but it appears the beta has come a day early. Today's update comes just after Apple announced plans to wipe all CloudKit data (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/04/apple-cloudkit-wipe-july-7/) for the iOS and Yosemite betas, including data from iCloud Drive, iCloud Photo Library, and Mail Drop.
 
 iOS 8 is currently only available to developers, but it is expected to be released to the public this fall after several beta iterations. Based on past history, iOS 8 will likely be launched alongside new iPhones, and possibly the much-rumored iWatch.
