Apple just released iOS 26.5 Beta 3… and while there aren’t a ton of new features, one change really stands out.

In this video, I break down everything new in iOS 26.5 Beta 3, including a new Apple Maps experience that could be the foundation for ads inside Maps. We also go over updates to Messages, notification forwarding, performance improvements, and what Apple is quietly setting up behind the scenes.

This is one of those updates where the small changes might actually matter the most.

  1. 26.5 Beta 3 is fine on my phone. It borked my texting from both the MacBook and the iPad on SMS and RCS. Only works to other iPhone users.

  2. 🐬 10 mins away?? Me too, neighbor! I don’t know which town you’re in but if you wear your Girl Dad hat and a stranger says, “Blue Dolphin!” you will know I’ve made it all the way to the end. 😂 🐬

  3. MacOS 26.5 beta 3 will brick your mac , all 3 of my devices have no use of safari , mail or text messages. The only website on safari that will load is apple home page but click on anything and it bricks , all other websites show a black screen.

  4. These update are not useful. Apple needs to fix the issue that is causing my devices to be unable to connect to WiFi.
