Apple releases iOS 26.3 Beta 1 for developers: what’s new

Apple has released the first developer beta of iOS 26.3. Here’s what’s new.

• Transfer to Android: iPhone users can now more easily switch to Android. A new option has been added to the device reset settings, allowing wireless data transfer without cables or third-party software. Users can migrate most content, including photos, apps, and passwords.

• Notification Forwarding: A new setting that allows notifications to be forwarded to third-party wearable devices, such as those running Wear OS. The feature appears in notification settings but is currently available only to users in the European Union.

• Weather Wallpaper: Previously, Apple offered wallpapers combining astronomy and weather elements. Weather wallpapers have now been separated into their own dedicated category.
