Apple has made iOS 11.2 Beta 3 available to both developers and public testers of its mobile device platform. T
he main feature of iOS 11.2 appears to be the addition of Apple Pay Cash, which allows iPhone owners to pay one another directly via the iOS messaging application. iOS 11.2 beta 3 cleans up the code a bit.
For example a bug impacting calculator operation has been swept under the rug, and several animations found in the calculator have been removed entirely.
The update adds a warning screen that explains to end users the difference between disabling Bluetooth or WiFi via the Control Center versus doing the same thing from the Settings menu. The former puts the radios to sleep, while the latter turns them off entirely. iOS 11.2 beta 3 shows off new camera emoji and animations for Live Photos, as well as a way to see “now playing” content in the Control Center when using the iPhone as a remote for the Apple TV.
New Live wallpapers on are deck, too. iOS 11.2 beta 3 is free for registered developers and beta testers to download and use.
