Apple Seeds Fourth Betas of iOS 13.3 and iPadOS 13.3 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the fourth betas of upcoming iOS and iPadOS 13.3 updates to developers and public beta testers, two weeks after seeding third betas and over a month after the release of iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2 with new emoji, Siri privacy controls, Deep Fusion for iPhone 11, and more.

iOS and ??iPadOS?? 13.3 can be downloaded through the Apple Developer Center or over the air after the proper developer profile has been installed.

iOS 13.3 introduces Communication Limits for Screen Time, a feature that Apple promised would be coming in an iOS 13 update. Communication Limits allow parents to control who their children are able to contact both during downtime and during Screen Time.

Communication Limits include FaceTime, Phone, and Messages, along with iCloud contacts. Calls to emergency numbers are always allowed and will turn off communication limits for 24 hours when placed.

The update features support for NFC, USB, and Lightning FIDO2-compliant security keys in Safari. That means physical security keys like the Lightning-equipped YubiKey can be used for more secure two-factor authentication in place of a software-based two-factor authentication option.

In the Keyboards section of the Settings app (under General), there's a new toggle that prevents Animoji and Memoji stickers from being displayed as an option on the Emoji Keyboard, and when editing a video, there's an option to save the edited version as a new clip rather than saving over the original. Apple has also tweaked the Apple Watch app icon, changing the color of the Digital Crown from black to gray.

Well, probably better they tweak something that needs tweaking before release.

You think they’ll FINALLY fix iTunes on IOS bug I logged like months ago - case 100939412442 documented on 10/30/19. Sent file dumps on 11/1/19 and still no response or fix. The bug screws up smart playlists as witnessed by apple support viewing my Mac and iPhone!

Let’s get with it Apple and please don’t lead us back into the world when Steve Jobs left apple and quality went with him!

can we please finally fix the lack of keyboard click depressions thats been missing 50% of the time in 13, 13.1, and 13.2?

blows my mind this isnt fixed, makes the keyboard truly rotten to use when it has no feedback

Yes, antennagate and broken MobileMe were the pinnacle of perfect software! The Steve Jobs rose colored glasses are strong.

what are iCloud contacts?

 

[Howard2k]

Did they test it?

No, that's why its out as Beta.

 

[now i see it]

Sound clicks are a crutch. The sooner you get past using them the better. The sound of your finger tapping the glass is all you need.

Any mention of shared iCloud folders?

There's a new keyboard toolbar when in email that I've never noticed before. You can swipe on the arrow and get to new quick actions for formatting

A welcomed addition

I’ll wait to see if the mail freezing issue is fixed. What I mean is when I get a notification, I tap on it and it goes to mail, it freezes. Takes about 6 seconds or so to finally work. When it does unfreeze, it’s not in the right inbox. It’s in the most recent inbox I was in.

"Communication Limits include FaceTime, Phone, and Messages, along with iCloud contacts."

what are iCloud contacts?

Contacts saved to iCloud. For those of us with iCloud email addresses. And, if iCloud is your choice for Settings > Contacts > Default Account, of course.

Or swipe text.

 

[nkawal]

Please oh please tell me they’ve fixed the email bug. Seriously it’s so annoying that this can’t be fixed.

I have installed the update and can confirm, it is not fixed. Dont know what else to say! It seems that i have to switch to outlook.

im not talking about sound clicks. im talking about the lack of the visual keyboard actuations

 

[ghostface147]

That sucks to hear. I won’t switch to outlook because it doesn’t integrate with calendar. It’s all contained in Outlook.

At this point it seems that Apple has either decided they've fixed it enough and are satisfied with the result, or they just don't know how to fix it.

I tend to think its the latter as this far in to iOS 13 its ridiculous to think that they would be satisfied with the result of their own mail application.

I hope they fix continuity ... incoming calls ring on my Mac but get missed on my phone as my Mac is still ringing ...
