There is a new App Store splash screen that highlights new features available in the ‌App Store‌ in iOS 15 such as in-app events in apps and games, the ‌App Store‌ widget, and Safari Extensions on iOS. (Similar changes are coming for iPadOS, but didn't make it for today's beta.) The iOS changes today aren't as significant, but, having talked to folks at Apple, there are a lot of changes and refinements still to come as summer progresses. The good news is that today's betas show that Apple has taken criticism of the new Safari UI designs seriously - on MacOS, Safari once again defaults to showing the tab bar as a discrete UI element in the window, with one URL address bar. Apple is, however, planning to add Safari updates to a future version of iPadOS 15, improving the usage experience on the ‌iPad‌ as well.ĭaring Fireball's John Gruber says some of the same changes brought to iOS 15 and macOS Monterey will also be added in iPadOS 15. The new Safari features introduced in iOS 15 and macOS Monterey were not brought to the ‌iPad‌, so iPadOS 15 in beta 3 offers the same Safari experience as beta 2.

Making the button appear requires an initial reload, something that Apple may streamline in the future. The reload icon is only available in portrait mode on iPhone, but it shows up in both portrait and landscape mode on iPad. When you reload a tab in Safari, the tab gets a permanent reload icon that can then be tapped to refresh again. There's now an option to long press on a floating tab bar to initiate a reload, which is an alternative to using the built-in menu option. The search interface has also been streamlined.

Previously, it was located at the top of the start page. When you tap into a URL bar on a Safari tab, the interface for entering another URL or a search term has been relocated to above the keyboard.

This article covers everything that's new in the third beta of iOS 15. There have been multiple complaints about Safari on iOS, so in the third beta, Apple has introduced some refinements. Apple today released the third betas of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, and the company is continuing to refine the suite of new features that are coming in the update.
