The third developer beta of iOS 18 has been released, introducing a dynamic version of the default iOS 18 wallpaper that shifts colours over time, as reported by 9to5Mac. Previous beta versions offered four static colour options (and their dark mode counterparts), but this new dynamic wallpaper changes between colours, adding a fresh, ever-changing look to your device.
To get a closer look at the dynamic wallpaper and its colour transitions, check out the video from leaker ShrimpApplePro. The shifting colours provide a visually appealing experience that many users are likely to appreciate.
New customization features in iOS 18
The dynamic wallpaper is just one of the many new customization features coming to iOS 18. Here are some highlights:
- Tint Your Homescreen App Icons: Users will have the ability to tint their homescreen app icons, offering a new level of personalization.
- Flexible Icon Placement: iOS 18 allows users to place app icons wherever they want on the home screen, breaking away from the traditional grid layout.
- Dark Mode Icons for Third-Party Apps: With this new beta, some third-party apps also get dark mode app icons, enhancing the overall dark mode experience.
These features are currently available only in the iOS 18 developer beta, which developers can install right now by following the guide provided by Apple.
Upcoming public beta and full release
Apple has announced that a public beta of iOS 18 will be launched sometime in July, giving a broader audience the chance to try out these new features. The full release of iOS 18 is scheduled for this fall.
Other developer beta releases
In addition to iOS 18, Apple also released new developer betas for other operating systems on Monday:
- iPadOS 18
- watchOS 11
- visionOS 2
- tvOS 18
These updates continue to enhance the Apple ecosystem, offering new features and improvements across devices. Stay tuned for more updates on iOS 18 and other Apple software releases. Whether you’re a developer or an eager user waiting for the public beta, exciting new features are on the horizon!
