Users will not have to tap the screen to get full-screen video playback in Photos app.
Apple released the iOS 18.2 Developer Beta 3 update for iPhone on Monday. It builds upon the previous updates as the Cupertino-based tech giant continues to test the second batch of features powered by Apple Intelligence — the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) suite for iPhone and other devices. Apple’s latest update is not a substantial introduction but still includes tweaks to the video player in the Photos app, updated dark mode icons for apps, and more.
iOS 18.2 Developer Beta 3 Update: What’s New
With iOS 18, Apple introduced a complete overhaul to the Photos app which now has a new user interface (UI). Apple’s latest update finally rectifies this issue, meaning users will not have to tap on the screen to get full-screen video playback.
It also includes a feature exclusive to the iPhone 16 series. With the new Require Screen on setting, users will only be able to launch the Camera or other third-party camera apps on the iPhone with the Camera Control button if the screen is on.
Spotted by 9to5Mac, iOS 18.2 Developer Beta 3 introduces new icons for the upcoming Climate and Media apps, which will launch with the next-generation CarPlay. The update also adds a fully customizable navigation bar in the TV app on iPad. Along with these new features, Apple addresses issues related to Precision Finding and enhances functionality for AirPods, AirTags, and other Find My accessories.
Furthermore, the update’s code also indicates stricter enforcement of the requirements for using Apple Intelligence features.
