hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and ios 15.4 beta 3 has even more new features and changes or
updates in it that i didn't mention in the initial what's new video so there's been some new features
and updates that have been found since so i wanted to share those with you and the first thing has to
do with the magnifier app in the magnifier app apple has updated this not only with beta 3 but
beta 2 they changed this a little bit i mentioned that in my other videos but if you press and hold
or 3d touch or haptic press on the little icon for the camera you have three different options
here auto close up in front but now in beta 3 they've actually changed the little glyphs or
icons so you have the camera at the top for auto a little flower for close up and then for front you
have the camera where you can switch it front to back so the icons or the little glyphs here have
been updated in this particular app so again additional changes they may change it with the
next beta as well the next thing has to do with the tv app so if you use the tv app i mentioned
in beta 2 there's a new option so if you go to tv under tv scroll down a little bit and you'll see
where it says up next display and it says still frame or you have the option for poster art this
was updated in beta 2 but it didn't do anything however in beta 3 it's a little bit different and
it's actually working so let me show you what that's like we'll go down to our tv app here
we'll just find tv under tv you'll see here i have a show at the top and you have sort of a
screenshot from within that show if we go back and change it to poster art again go back here
you'll see it changes to the poster art so you saw that on this particular update where
it's got different tv shows or movies again if i change it back to still frame it will take a frame
out of the actual episode itself so it's up to you what you'd like to see but they've updated it
in beta 3 to show different things within beta 3 apple has updated keychain again so when you save
a password with beta2 you could add notes but in beta 3 you can no longer save a password without
inputting a username so this was found on twitter by a user named ryan jones you'll see it said
did y'all sneak this into 15.4 beta i've never seen it and that was a big issue when changing
passwords so it says to save this password enter the username for your password or for your account
and you'll see someone else mentioned here that it says in ios 15.4 beta and mac os 12.3 beta
when safari isn't sure it'll prompt you for the username for a password rather than silently save
it sans username sometimes safari will pre-fill its best guess here and we didn't sneak it in we
intentionally addressed a pain point so that was placed here by ricky mondello so you'll see this
is a new feature or update that makes it much better as you may have already experienced if
you use keychain sometimes it doesn't save the username properly so this is a much better thing
that they've fixed now in podcasts i mentioned with beta 3 that they've added seasons within
podcasts now there wasn't a podcast i could find at the time that actually showed this feature
and there was a splash screen explaining that there is this feature and now you can see here
with against the odds that we have different features that show the different seasons so this
is something i couldn't find before but there's a couple different podcasts out there that have this
updated where you can sort by season now so find your favorite podcast if it has a bunch of seasons
once they update it you'll be able to sort by that so that's very nice if you've been trying to find
different seasons i know it would be nice to add to certain podcasts such as cereal that i have
here they haven't added it yet but maybe in the future they will so if we go back i checked all
these different ones here but you'll see there's just episodes unplayed and downloaded instead of
season so i'm glad to see they've added that now within settings they've made some changes as well
so if we go into settings we'll go back we'll go to notifications and under notifications if you go
to scheduled summary and you have that turned on under scheduled summary you'll see at the bottom
it says apps in summary here it says weekly notification average before this was daily so
they've updated this to be weekly you can switch it a to z but now it's a weekly notification
average and you'll see my weekly on twitter is 1260 notifications so i get a lot of those and you
can see this gives you a better idea over the week what's using most of your time and notifications
so you can better customize those per app so that's something they've updated as well
also in beta 2 and beta 3 within the stocks app they've made a change as well
so within stocks we now have these three dots here and i've mentioned this in a previous video
partially but these three dots they've updated where you can now copy the link share the story or
save to apple news prior to this you actually had to go into the article itself to actually share it
now you can do it directly from the article before going into it so that's something that's small but
they've updated in beta 3. additionally in beta 3 there's also new notifications that we can't see
yet my friend steve mosher found these and as you can see this is for notes and i knew this was here
but i didn't mention it as we weren't really sure what it did but we know that it's going to be a
new notification prompt in addition to this with previous betas there's also different notification
prompt styles so you'll see one here for maps and there's also one here for health so it looks like
they're updating this maybe we'll see it by the time it's fully released to the public but there's
not a whole lot new other than what we see here we should see a new notification style hopefully
soon maybe it'll be a little bit clearer when a notification comes in now on the ipad if you're
using a magic keyboard someone sent in that they found something new when they're using
the arrow keys i haven't seen this but i'm going to try and replicate it here or reproduce it here
and if you're using the mouse and trackpad or a trackpad and you're using the keyboard
with maybe your magic trackpad and you're selecting a different icon the highlight
looks a little bit different and so as you can see here the highlight of the different icons has been
modified slightly it's not a big update it does look a little bit different but it's not a huge
change but i just wanted to point that out since it does seem to be a small change in this update
there's also something that potentially is coming that could be huge and that new feature that could
be huge has to do with airpods airpods have been really kind of a pain to update over the past
time that we've had them since apple's been pushing firmware updates to them in order
to update the firmware you have to plug them in make sure they're charged over 50 and then they
eventually will update if you can sort of force it by listening to them for 30 seconds closing this
walking away and then maybe they'll update however according to a recent reddit thread
and much of it has since been deleted they said at least according to apple support that they're
going to be adding it within the os so you'll be able to update from the os now i'm not so sure
this is actually accurate but it's something that we've been asking for for a very long time where
you would just go into your settings maybe go to a airpods section where you could go into software
update whether that be in accessibility where we actually have air pods maybe we could go in here
and actually update directly from it i would love to see something like that but so far we haven't
seen that i would love to see it in the future and hopefully we will by the time 15.4 releases
now one other thing i wanted to mention was a small change in mac os with universal control
they've added a button for it now so i didn't want to do a full video on mac os 12.3 beta 3
since there's not a whole lot in it compared to the previous updates they did add a universal
control button and as you can see it here so not a huge change but it's definitely an update that's
really nice it's a little clearer as to what's going on instead of just clicking a display button
now as far as the future updates one thing i did want to mention is the other day apple stopped
signing ios 15.3 that means you can no longer downgrade to it and because of that maybe we'll
see a 15.3.2 before we see 15.4 released to the public i'm not really sure about that but
if we do we could see it as soon as next week however i do expect beta 4 to be out next week
we're currently on a weekly cycle it seems going from beta 2 to beta 3 so i would expect beta 4
next week with a release candidate in early march with a final release probably around the 8th when
we expect an apple event that seems to be very logical as to what they've done in the past and so
maybe between now and the week of march 8th or the week that has march 8th in it we could see 15.3.2
maybe to address additional bugs and security updates we typically see those sometimes we'll
see multiple versions of a 15.3 and then another update we already have 0.1 two could be on its way
or we could just be waiting until fifteen point four and they release that a little bit earlier
than we think but again i think we'll have beta four release candidate and then a final release
in a couple weeks or three weeks or so from now but that's it for this particular update
i don't know of any other features in it if i do find anything else of course i'll share that with
you maybe in the follow up when i typically have that on the weekend so i do plan to do
a follow up with additional comments about the battery life how it is overall it really takes
a few days to know exactly how it's going to be and so i didn't really want to rush it out this
weekend so we'll try and get that out with all the information to help you understand whether
or not you should try it out what to expect what existing bugs are there and much more
if you found anything else though in 15.4 beta 3 i'd love to hear from you in the comments below
and of course if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the description
like i normally do if you haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed
