Apple iOS 16.4 beta 2: here are all the new features
iOS 16.4 beta 2 is now available to Apple Developer Program members. Let’s take a look at what’s new in this updated build and how you can download it. In late 2022, Apple publicly released iOS 16 and macOS Ventura. Since then, the famous iPhone maker has been working on minor releases to smooth out remaining issues and introduce the previously mentioned missing functionality.
Now that iOS 16.3.1 has been released in its final form, the Cupertino company has begun work on the next iOS edition. iOS 16.4 beta 2 is currently available to developers who have registered with Apple. This upgraded build includes the following new features and modifications.
