Along with the changes, we have noticed an improvement in performance and battery life. The iOS 15 Public Beta 4 carries the build number 19A5307g and weighs 1.05GB on our 2020 iPhone SE. To update your iPhone, go to the Settings app > General > Software Update. And now let’s see four of the few prominent changes in iOS 15 Public Beta 4.

What’s new?

• Apple has added a new refresh button in the address bar right beside the URL. Although the placement seems s too close to the URL, it still is better than nothing. On that note, the button itself is a tad too tiny to be able to tap it comfortably.
• The three-dot button is now gone and has been replaced by the Share Sheet button. To access the options that were available in the three-dot menu previously, all you have to do is tap and hold the address bar.
• You can now share your Focus status with your iMessage contacts on an individual basis.
• Support for the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack for iPhone 12 models.

The official release notes for iOS 15 Beta 6 are here.

Safari gets reworked again

Ever since Apple outed the first beta of iOS 15, Safari has faced a lot of criticism for its controversial UI overhaul. The address bar was shifted to the bottom of the screen and was given the floating treatment. In the sixth beta, Apple has finally given users the choice to revert to the good old and inoffensive pre-iOS 15 Safari top address bar and bottom navigation panel layout.

You can tap the Aa button in the address bar and switch to a top address bar or bottom address bar layout. Alternatively, the very same option is available in Settings > Safari. When the bottom address bar option is selected, the address bar no longer floats and is instead fixed in place along with the navigation panel at the bottom of the screen.

On that note, the in-browser video playback issue of the previous beta has been resolved in this beta release.

The iOS 14 Safari top address bar layout is back! The bottom floating address bar is gone for good. We like the tweaked setup with bookmarks and navigation buttons below the bar Tap the “Aa” to switch back and forth between the top and bottom bar layout The top bar options.

SharePlay is disabled and will be available sometime later

The ability to share the content you are watching to other Apple devices via FaceTime all in perfect sync is one of the many highlighting features of iOS 15. However, starting the sixth beta of iOS 15, Apple has decided to remove SharePlay until sometime later in the fall. And yes, it won’t be available in the official rollout of iOS 15 next month. Future releases of iOS will bring SharePlay back into action.

Let’s go through three noticeable changes in iOS 15 Public Beta 3. To check for the new beta update, go to Settings > General > Software Update.

Want to try out the iOS 15 Beta? We have a comprehensive guide for you on how to download and install iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 Beta.

Safari

The new address bar in Safari has been the most criticized element ever since iOS 15 was introduced. The floating address bar at the bottom of the page annoyed a lot of users over time. In Beta 3, the floating bar remains, however, Apple has tweaked it ever so slightly by attaching the same to the keyboard while say typing a web address or performing a search.

The refresh button is now available right in the address in addition to it being hidden behind the three-dot button. Speaking of which, a long-press on the address bar also brings up the reload option among others.

New iPhone Reset menu and a bonus!

The Reset option in Settings > General has now been revamped. It now has been renamed to Transfer or Reset iPhone. Meaning, to reset your iPhone, you have to go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone from now on.  Here, you will be able to transfer your data from the existing iPhone to a brand new one right away. Remember the bonus we mentioned earlier? well, now Apple offers free unlimited iCloud storage when you transfer new data to your new iPhone.

The old iPhone data gets backed up to iCloud regardless of the size and the same can be downloaded to your new iPhone. However, keep in mind that the data transfer should be completed within 21 days before it gets deleted and your storage plan reverts to its original value. As part of generosity, Apple will allow you to request additional time to complete the data transfer process.

And yes, the Reset option is available at the bottom of the menu where you can reset all settings or just reset the network, keyboard, home screen, and location settings. The ability to reset and erase your iPhone is also available right here.

New App Store splash screen

Post the installation of the iOS 15 Public Beta 3, head over to the App Store. Now, you’ll be greeted with a new splash screen that highlights iOS 15-specific features that are available in the App Store such as in-app events within apps and games, Safari extensions, and a new App Store widget.

The update weighs 911.3 MB on our 2020 iPhone SE. Apple has quietly tweaked the Weather app icon by adding depth to the same which reminds us of the macOS icons.

To update the beta software on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update. On that note, the official release of iOS 15 is nearing with an expected rollout to begin in September.

Notice the new Weather icon

What’s noticeably new in iOS 15 Public Beta 5?

• The Weather icon has been spiced up with more depth and a darker shade.
• New splash screen for Maps, Home app, and Photos highlighting the iOS 15 features.
• If you still aren’t aware, iOS 15 allows users to find their iPhone even when it is switched off or offline, thanks to the Find My Network. A new option called “iPhone findable after Power Off” is available below the slide to power off option.
• The design of the notification icon while in Focus mode has been ever so slightly tweaked.

However, we still have to see if the unnecessary background drain has been fixed or not. We hope it has been fixed for the good. The update weighs in at 599.2 MB on our 2020 iPhone SE. You can view the official release notes here. To check for updates, go to Settings > General > Software Update.

If you still haven’t signed up to the iOS 15 Beta Software Program, learn how to sign up and install the iOS 15 Public Beta on your iPhone. At this point in time, we can actually see how close the official release of iOS 15 is because of how almost bug-free the latest feels to be.

In contrast, if you aren’t a fan of beta software, we urge you to refrain from installing the same and patiently wait for the official rollout next month at Apple’s September event, where we will also witness the next-generation iPhone lineup, the upcoming iPhone 13 series.
