Apple has released the third beta version of iOS 16.5 to developers, which includes new sports-related features. The update was announced on Tuesday and brings overall improvements to the operating system.
iOS 16.5 beta 3 is now available to registered developer beta testers. The update can be installed over the air by going to the Settings app, choosing General, and then selecting Software Update. The build number for this update is 20F5050f.
One of the most notable additions in iOS 16.5 is the new Sports tab in the Apple News app. This feature has been highly requested by sports fans and will provide a dedicated section for all things related to sports. It will enable users to stay up-to-date with the latest news, scores, and updates from their favorite teams and leagues.
Additionally, iOS 16.5 adds new screen recording commands to Siri. This will allow users to start or stop screen recordings using the virtual assistant. This feature is likely to be useful for individuals who want to capture their screen activity while multitasking.
Although iOS 17 is expected to be released in just two months, iOS 16.5 does not include many notable changes apart from these new features. The update is part of Apple's beta testing program and will be available to the general public sometime in May.
In addition to iOS 16.5 beta 3, Apple has also rolled out new betas for other operating systems, including iPadOS 16.5 beta 3, watchOS 9.5 beta 3, tvOS 16.5 beta 3, and macOS Ventura 13.4 beta 3.
As developers continue to test the new features and provide feedback, Apple is likely to make further updates before the final release of iOS 16.5. Nevertheless, the new sports-related features in iOS 16.5 are likely to be welcomed by sports fans and could make it an appealing update for many users.
