The third beta of iOS 18.4 is now available to developers and will soon be released to beta testers. This update brings us closer to the public release of the fourth iteration of iOS 18, which is expected to arrive next month. Although, beta 3 is not a big update, it includes some changes and bug fixes.
The iOS 18.4 Beta 3 is now available to all iOS 18 eligible iPhone models, including iPhone Xr and newer. However, only users who have opted for beta updates will receive the third beta on their devices.

The iOS 18.4 Beta 3 update is available with build number 22E5222f. However, the build number itself doesn’t indicate anything about the public release. The next build may provide more information on when the public release will be available.
Talking about changes, the iOS 18.4 Beta 3 adds Genmoji option right next to the emoji search bar in the keyboard of WhatsApp and some other apps. Additionally, apps can now search for nearby devices in the background to locate things during Live Activity with UWB ranging.
There are some other small changes and bug fixes in the third beta. Apple has already added new emojis, visual intelligence for iPhone 15 Pro models, camera control to open visual intelligence, priority notifications, and more in the last two beta builds.
If you want to try the third iOS 18.4 beta on your eligible iPhone, you can opt for beta updates in Settings > General > Software Update > Beta updates. Once you select the Beta option, the latest beta update will be available immediately, which you can download and install. Make sure to back up your important data before switching to beta.
