The new beta update is part of the company\u2019s final goal to have more AI features available and also Siri AI working the way Apple has shown in previous ads. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">he iOS 26.3 version is tipped to offer new features but the beta 2 update seems fairly lightweight compared to the previous iterations which makes it easy to break down and explain about what the users can expect over the next few weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 26.3 Beta 2 Update Is Here: New Features Coming?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The iOS 26.3 beta 2 update is not flushed with new features or options but reports suggest Apple has added some new tweaks that will be more usable when the future updates release. The iOS 26.3 beta 2 version gives us hints that Apple is close to bringing end-to-end encryption support for RCS messages in the Messages app for iOS devices. It is not a sure deal that the company will have the feature available with this version but the new code strings suggest Apple might be close to making it happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Besides this, iOS 26.3 beta 2 doesn\u2019t bring anything substantially different and the full download size of 1.28 GB is probably one of the smallest installs we have done with an iOS update in recent times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">You have the same data transfer tool that allows you to send files and other photos from an iPhone to an Android phone a lot more seamlessly. It also supports a third-party notification forward option which allows you to receive alerts on third-party devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 26.3 Beta 2 Update: How To Install And Eligible Models<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The iOS 26.3 beta 2 update is now available for a wide range of iPhone users and you can install the version with these steps:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Go to Settings <\/span><\/li>\n<li>Click on About<\/li>\n<li>Tap on Software update to get the new version<\/li>\n<li>Install the iOS 26.3 beta 2 update on your iPhone<\/li>\n<li>Reboot the device to fully apply<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Apple is supporting a broad lineup of iPhone models for the iOS 26.3 beta 2 update and if you have the iPhone 11 or later models, and the iPhone SE 2 version, this new update is available for your device. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1681851659 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1681851659 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>January 15, 2026, 07:15 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-1681851659 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> iOS 26.3 Beta 2 Update Now Available: What iPhone Users Get<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
