Apple has released the third public beta of iOS 18.2, following shortly after the release of the developer beta 4 earlier in the day. This new build offers a few small updates and changes, such as displaying milliseconds in the Photos app's video scrubber, centralizing Camera Control settings, setting a default Contactless App to replace Wallet within Settings, and minor design adjustments to Apple Mail.

The focus of this public beta 3 appears to be on performance improvements and bug fixes, which is understandable given that we are nearing the release candidate (RC) version of iOS 18.2. It is anticipated that Apple will take a break next week due to Thanksgiving, with the possibility of an RC update being released in the first or second week of December.

iOS 18.2 includes several highly anticipated features such as Genmoji, ChatGPT integration with Siri, Image Playground for creating AI images, visual intelligence capabilities using the iPhone 16's Camera Control, a redesigned Mail app, new Find My features, and upgrades to Camera Control.
