“Apple has just seeded the latest beta of iOS 8.3 to its public beta users,” Mike Beasley reports for 9to5Mac. “The first beta was sent out just under two weeks ago. The build is also available over-the-air to developers, making it the fourth beta for those users. It’s also available on the iOS developer center.”
“The final version of the mobile OS is expected to bring more diverse emoji, new Siri languages and voice improvements, the ability to place speakerphone calls from Siri, and many bug fixes,” Beasley reports. “Wireless CarPlay is also expected to debut with the update. However, the CarPlay settings menu has disappeared in beta 4.”

The latest seed also fixed a nasty bug in Safari. When you selected a word, activated the context menu, and attempted a dictionary lookup, a blank mini-window appeared, and USB keyboards attached were disabled.
Shhhhhh NDA
Will it freeze up less? I have to restart my iPhone 6 several times per week, and nobody at the Apple Store can tell me why.
Is it going to fix my iPad Air 2 wi-fi problems? ios 8.2 didn’t.
I really hope Siri and Apple maps can finally search nearby locations. Ever since iOS 5, Siri couldn’t search nearby places.
Damn but I get pissed when they make “improvements”.
Am trying to delete some apps on my iPhone but don’t get the X when I make the apps wiggle, as I used to.
Anyone help?
