If you\u2019ve decided to join the iOS 18 developer beta program, you may be encountering some issues with apps, features, and battery life. But don\u2019t worry, that\u2019s just part of the process. While you get to enjoy the new features before others, it\u2019s normal to experience some hiccups along the way. The good news is that Apple has just released iOS 18 developer beta 3, bringing some exciting updates and fixes.<\/p>\n
One notable feature in this update is the ability for third-party app icons to go into dark mode. To enable this feature, simply follow these steps:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Long press on your home screen.
\n\u2013 Tap on \u201cEdit\u201d in the upper-left corner.
\n\u2013 Select \u201cCustomize.\u201d
\n\u2013 Choose between \u201cDark\u201d or \u201cAutomatic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Please note that this feature may not work on all app icons or those in the dock.<\/p>\n
In addition to dark mode for app icons, iOS 18 developer beta 3 includes a variety of bug fixes and new features. One notable improvement is enhanced security for the Wallet app. When adding an ID to your iPhone, you may now be asked to take a Live Photo to ensure that the photo being submitted is of a live person.<\/p>\n
For those using an Apple Watch with the iOS 18 developer beta, you may encounter issues with reauthorizing Connected Accounts in Wallet on your iPhone. To resolve this problem with beta 3, follow these steps:<\/p>\n
1. Wait for your iPhone and Apple Watch to synchronize.
\n2. If you continue to receive prompts after a few minutes, reauthorize the connection on your iPhone.<\/p>\n
To sync your Apple Watch and iPhone effectively:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Open the Watch App on your iPhone.
\n\u2013 Navigate to My Watch and tap on General Settings.
\n\u2013 Select the reset sync data option.
\n\u2013 Wait for your devices to synchronize completely.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re already part of the iOS 18 developer beta program, you can easily install beta 3 by going to Settings > General > Software Update on your device. And for those eagerly awaiting the public beta program launch, stay tuned as it\u2019s expected later this month.<\/p>\n
