A few days after seeding public beta 4 for developers running iOS 15 | iPadOS 15, public beta testers can now install the release.
iOS 15 Public Beta 4
For iPad users the most noticeable change is to Safari. The redesign has faced criticism and in Settings > Safari you’ll have a choice between a compact tab bar and a separate tab bar. I found that the separate tab bar option was enabled by default (pictured above)
For iPhone users, a noticeable tweak is the appearance of the share button inside the tab bar, rather than hiding inside the new menu. A reload button now appears next to the URL in the tab bar.
Other changes:
- An icon for Apple’s MagSafe Battery pack now appears in the Battery widget
- The camera icon on the Lock Screen has been slightly modified
- A new action called Return to Home Screen has been added to Shortcuts
- The Notification icon in Settings has been changed
