Developers received a fresh new batch of updates from Apple today: the third beta builds for iOS 10.3, watchOS 3.2 and tvOS 10.2.

The new beta builds come two weeks after Apple’s last betas got made available to developers, bringing a host of bug fixes, performance improvements and even some new features and UI changes for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV.

Developers can grab iOS 10.3 beta 3, watchOS 3.2 beta 3 and tvOS 10.2 beta 3 directly from Apple’s developer portal. iOS 10.3 beta 3 can be installed via an over-the-air update if you have the correct installation profile on your device already.

What’s new in iOS 10.3?

Based on the release notes for the third beta of iOS 10.3, it doesn’t appear that Apple made any major changes in the last two weeks. The first iOS 10.3 beta brought a couple of new features, like Find My AirPods, iCloud calls for Verizon, a Podcasts widget, CarPlay tweaks and the more-secure Apple File System.

tvOS 10.2 adds a few UI tweaks, including faster-scrolling animations. Meanwhile, watchOS 3.2 gets some new goodies like Theater Mode, which keeps your wrist from lighting up a movie theater with notifications.

We’ll let you know what other new stuff we find in the betas once we get them installed on our devices.
