Apple released today the second beta version of the upcoming iOS 13.2, iPadOS 13.2, and tvOS 13.2 software updates for supported iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV devices.

Coming just a week after the first developer betas, the iOS 13.2 beta 2, iPadOS 13.2 beta 2, and tvOS 13.2 beta 2 builds are now available for testing for registered developers with a paid and active Apple Developer account. As expected, these new beta versions bring more bug and security fixes.

If you're running the first iOS 13.2, iPadOS 13.2, or tvOS 13.2 betas, you can now update your iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV devices to iOS 13.2 beta 2, iPadOS 13.2 beta 2, and tvOS 13.2 beta 2 via OTA (Over-the-Air) update system by opening the Settings app and accessing Software Update in the General section.

Also today, Apple released the third beta version of the upcoming watchOS 6.1 operating system for Apple Watch devices, which is only available for registered developers via the Apple Developer portal to test their apps against the next software update to be released later this year.

New public betas of the iOS 13.2, iPadOS 13.2, and tvOS 13.2 operating systems should be available for public testing through the Apple Beta Software Program website in the coming hours. It usually takes about 24 hours for Apple to release new public beta versions after releasing the developer betas.

The final release of the iOS 13.2, iPadOS 13.2, tvOS 13.2, and watchOS 6.1 software updates is expected to see the light of day next month, probably along with the macOS Catalina 10.15.1 software update, bringing various new features and improvements, such as the ability to delete Siri history and opt out of sharing audio recordings, as well as much needed security and bug fixes.
