iOS 26.3 beta 3: Apple makes switching and privacy easier
Apple's latest iOS 26.3 Beta 3 is here, focusing on smoother device switching and stronger privacy.
The update, out now for developers and public testers, introduces "Transfer to Android" for hassle-free moves between phones, 'limit precise location' to boost your privacy, and "Notification Forwarding," limited to the EU, which can forward notifications to one accessory at a time and prevents them from appearing on Apple Watch while turned on.
What's new in this update?
With "Transfer to Android," you can move photos, messages, apps, passwords—many key items, though some sensitive data isn't transferred—from iPhone to Android without extra apps or headaches.
The new location feature limits how precisely carriers can determine your location (though it only works with some models and carriers).
Plus, if you use an Android smartwatch with your iPhone in the EU, notification forwarding means no more missing alerts—but heads up: it turns off Apple Watch notifications.
These EU-only features (for example, easier pairing with accessories) are included in the EU build of iOS 26.3 beta.
