As expected, Apple released today the third public beta versions of its forthcoming iOS 12 and tvOS 12 operating systems following yesterday's release of macOS Mojave 10.14 public beta 3.

Following yesterday's release of macOS Mojave 10.14 public beta 3, Apple today released the iOS 12 public beta 3 and tvOS 12 public beta 3 software updates to those enrolled in the company's Apple Beta Software Program. This release is based on the fourth beta of iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, and tvOS 12 released earlier this week.

Users running the iOS 12 public beta 2, macOS Mojave 10.14 public beta 2, and tvOS 12 public beta 2 builds can now update their iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV devices to the public beta 3 release, which brings the same changes as that iOS 12 beta 4, macOS Mojave 10.14 beta 4, and tvOS 12 beta 4 versions released only for developers.

How to update to iOS 12, tvOS 12, and macOS Mojave 10.14 public beta 3

To update to iOS 12 public beta 3, open the Settings app, go to the General section and access Software Updates. There, you should see the new public beta version so tap on the "Download and Install" button and wait for the update to be downloaded and installed.

On the other hand, Mac users can update to macOS Mojave 10.14 public beta 3 via the Software Update utility in Preferences. Same goes for tvOS 12 public beta users, who can install the third public beta 3 update by going to Settings -> System -> Software Update.

Those new to iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, and tvOS 12 public beta testing can jump into the Apple Beta Software bandwagon by reading our in-depth tutorials on how to install the iOS 12 public beta, macOS Mojave 10.14 public beta, and tvOS 12 public beta here, here, and here.

However, we remind everyone that they shouldn't install these beta software versions as they contain lots of bugs and unresolved issues that would jeopardize their iOS, macOS, and tvOS experiences. We recommend waiting for the final iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, tvOS 12, and watchOS 5 releases this fall.
