For developers testing the iOS 10.3 beta 3, App Compatibility can be accessed through Settings. From there, they will have to open the "General" option and then choose "About." Developers will just have to tap on an iOS app and the feature will tell them when it was last updated.
On apps that need to be updated, the App Compatibility program will flash a prompt message that says: "This app will not work with future versions of iOS. The developer of this app needs to update it to improve its compatibility."
Meanwhile, 9To5Mac also reported several additions that they have already discovered in the iOS 10.3 beta 3 so far. These include: the addition of Find My AirPods in the Find My iPhone app; Siri's ability to report cricket game updates from the Indian Premier League and International Cricket Council; a new Apple File System; a new widget for the Podcasts app similar to the Music app; the Reduced Motion support in the Safari app; and a new "quick access" option for the CarPlay app that will let users switch among recently used apps without having to go back to the Home screen.
Apple has yet to announce the release date for the finalized version of iOS 10.3.
