News: iOS 12 Beta 4 for iPhone Released to Developers
As the official release of iOS 12 nears closer each day, Apple continues to update its betas. The company released the fourth beta of the upcoming software to developers Tuesday, July 17, exactly two weeks after the release of the third developer beta which came out just a few days before the second public beta.The fourth iOS 12 developer beta, as all updates do, introduces minor bug fixes and security patches, but also includes major changes that users might immediately notice. Fortnite no longer crashes during gameplay, and Apple Watch contacts no longer fall out of sync, if users open the Watch app and head to General -> Reset -> Reset Sync Data. Curiously, toggles are now more prominent in iOS 12 beta 4, featuring a bolder outline for increased accessibility.But the beta also comes with its own set of headaches. Apple warns iPhone X users could notice inaccurate cell signal bars while running the beta. If you choose to update to Beta 4 on your iPhone X, just keep in mind those bars could be misleading.Don't Miss: Fortnite Finally Fixed on the iOS 12 Beta for iPhones If you want to update your iPhone to iOS 12 dev beta 4, you need to be a registered developer with a valid configuration profile. If you have iOS 12's new "Automatic Updates" enabled, you can let the software update overnight. To download the new beta right now, however, open the Settings app, tap "General," then "Software Update."
