iOS 26.2, iPadOS 26.2, watchOS 26.2, and tvOS 26.2 public beta 2 are now available for download alongside macOS 26.2 public beta 3.
Apple Releases Public Beta 2 of iOS 26.2, iPadOS 26.2, watchOS 26.2, and tvOS 26.2 – macOS 26.2 Public Beta 3 Also Available
I know macOS 26.2 public beta 3 sounds a little off when Apple has seeded the second public betas of everything else today. The thing is, the second public beta of macOS 26.2 was made available for download last week, and everything else was nowhere to be seen, so I skipped it and hoped to cover everything together.
A week later, the macOS 26.2 public beta is one number ahead, while iOS 26.2, iPadOS 26.2, watchOS 26.2, and tvOS 26.2 a step behind.
The iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2 public beta 2 updates have the same changes as the developer betas which were released just yesterday. You can update your device to the latest public beta by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
Just like iOS and iPadOS, the watchOS 26.2 public beta 2 is the same as the developer beta from yesterday. Place your Apple Watch on its charger and go to Watch > General > Software Update on your iPhone in order to update to the latest public beta.
Next up, tvOS 26.2 public beta 2, which is the same as the developer one from yesterday, obviously. Go to Settings > System > Software Update > Update Software in order to download the latest tvOS 26.2 public beta.
Last but not least, the macOS 26.2 public beta 3 has the same changes as the macOS 26.2 developer beta 3. Make sure you download the latest version of the public beta by going to System Settings > General > Software Update on your Mac.
The first public beta of iOS 26.2, iPadOS 26.2, macOS 26.2, watchOS 26.2, and tvOS 26.2 was made available to download earlier this month. We can expect the final version of the software to be released sometime in December.
