14 DAY TRIAL // The new iOS 8 BETA 3 has been released.
Apple has warned the developers to back-up their CloudKid data before July 7, because the servers will be wiped. Everybody thought that Apple would release the new beta of iOS 8 on Tuesday, July 8.
However, the tech giant is moving faster than expected. The new build number is 12A4318c and the Beta is available for all iOS devices – iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
The new version of iOS is available Over-the-Air via Software Update or from the Developer Center.
Apple also released a new version for Xcode 6. The New Beta 3 has the Build number 6A254o and it includes the iOS SDK for iOS 8 Beta 3 and the Mac SDK for OS X 10.10.
Here is what's new in iOS 8 Beta 3:
Apple released a new version of Find My Friends and Find My iPhone. According the macrumors.com, the new Find My Friends allows the user to move his friends list to an iCloud account if necessary.
iCloud Drive replaces "Documents and Data" menu in iCloud Settings. The users can choose whether they want to upgrade to iCloud.
You can now choose to enable or disable Handoff – the new feature that allows the user to continue on his Mac whatever he started on the iPhone. That button can be found under the General Menu in the Settings app.
iOS 8 Beta 3 brings some new wallpapers as well.
The Weather app interface has been changed to display AM/PM for times and the full info for the day has been centered to a column instead of two in Beta 2.
The new iOS shows albums from Aperture and the "Shared Photo Streams" menu has been renamed to "Shared Albums."
You can choose to automatically keep all the sent audio recordings and videos. By default, there are deleted. The new option can be enabled in Settings.app – Messages – Audio and Video Messages.
Other miscellaneous features include: redesigned "clear" button in Notifications Center, QuickType option in Settings.
There's also an option to activate WiFi calls for GSM Networks that support that feature, like T-Mobile USA.
