Apple releases second version of iOS 26.4 beta 3 for iPhone

Apple has released a second version of iOS 26.4 beta 3 for developers. The update comes three days after the first version. It’s unclear what the new build address, but it’s available as an over-the-air update now.

The new iOS 26.4 beta 3 release has build version 23E5223k compared to 23E5223f. Devices running the build from earlier this week will see the new update, and public beta testers should also see the new release.

iOS 26.4 includes a number of exciting new features and changes, including AI-powered Apple Music updates.

Changes that we’ve seen coming in iOS 26.4 so far include:

Apple is also testing end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging and an enhanced video podcast experience. iOS 26.4 enables Stolen Device Detection by default, and iOS 26’s CarPlay video support is seeing progress. iOS 26.4 beta 2 further tweaked some upcoming changes.
