Apple has released iOS 18.2 beta 4 to developers, continuing its preparations for a public release in early December. Public beta testers can expect the update to roll out later today or this week. The build number for this release is 22C5142a, and it is compatible with all devices capable of running iOS 18.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s new in this latest beta:

Key Updates and Changes in iOS 18.2 Beta 4

Camera Control Accessibility Options
- Apple has streamlined the Camera Control settings by introducing a dedicated Accessibility submenu within the main Camera Control settings pane.
- These settings, which were previously accessible only through the main Accessibility menu, are now easier to find. The original menu options remain for those familiar with the older layout.

Improved Video Scrubbing in Photos
- The Photos app now displays milliseconds when scrubbing through a video timeline. This update allows users to locate specific frames or moments with greater precision, enhancing the video editing and playback experience.
Refined Mail Profile Pictures
- The profile picture icons displayed in the Mail app have been slightly reduced in size compared to beta 3. This subtle tweak aims to improve the visual balance of the app’s design.

Device Compatibility

While iOS 18.2 beta 4 supports all iPhones running iOS 18, the Apple Intelligence features, including advanced tools and enhancements, remain exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the iPhone 16 series.
