Apple seeded beta 3 of iOS 8 earlier today to registered developers of its iOS developer program. Apple unveiled iOS 8 last month with a number of new features like Handoff, custom keyboards, widgets, interactive notifications etc. Here’s what’s new in iOS 8 beta 3.
Handoff: There’s a new toggle for Handoff in Settings > General. You can enable it to seamlessly switch between your iPhone, iPad and Mac without interrupting your work flow.
iCloud Drive: A new iCloud Drive welcome screen
App Analytics: A new opt-in screen to allow iOS to share crash data and other analytics information with developers
Wallpapers: New wallpapers added to iOS’ default wallpaper gallery
QuickType: New toggle to enable or disable QuickType, iOS 8′s new keyboard feature that suggests words based on the current context
Weather app: Minor tweaks to the Weather app’s design. Details at the bottom are now horizontally centred as opposed to the earlier design, where there were two columns.
Wi-Fi Calling: iOS 8 beta 3 adds Wi-Fi calling to make phone calls over Wi-Fi. You’ll of course need carrier support for this, and T-Mobile is the first carrier to support Wi-Fi calling (hat tip Rabih):
Notification Center: The Clear button has a new design:
Find my iPhone: iOS 8 Beta 3 brings a new version of the Find my iPhone and Find my Friends app. Find My Friends now lets you move your friend list to an iCloud account.
Photos: Shared Photo Streams are now simply called Shared Albums. Additionally, items in Recently Deleted now have a label showing the number of days after which the photo gets permanently deleted.
Messages: There’s a new option in Messages to Automatically keep video and audio messages. By default, these messages are ephemeral in nature.
