Several tweaks have been made to the operating system in the new beta as there are new options for iCloud Drive, a new Settings toggle for Handoff, and a new option to enable or disable QuickType. The weather app and some new wallpapers are also available.
iCloud Drive can be downloaded through a new popup window in beta 3 and the latest version of Find My Friends allows users to move their friends list to their iCloud account.
The iOS 8 beta 3 was originally expected to launch on Tuesday, July 8, but actually ended up on the device one day sooner. It is only available to developers at this time and will be released to the public sometime in the fall of this year. New major software updates from Apple normally roll out at the same time as the new iPhone model.
The upcoming iPhone 6 is expected to be released in September. iOS 8 will be officially introduced through that device. Apple first introduced the software during WWDC earlier this year. It will be available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch lines when it finally launches.
