iPadOS 26 Public Beta 3 is now available for download. The size of this update comes in at about 9 GB on an M4 iPad Pro.

This build should have the new features and improvements as Developer Beta 6. This beta is the most stable yet, which is what you would hope for at this point in the release cycle. We are likely a little over a month away from the final public release of iPadOS 26. Changes include a new onboarding carousel when you update, more refinements to Liquid Glass, and fun little Easter Egg in the Preview app. You can watch the video overview or read the write up on what’s new here.

If you’d like to try the public beta of iPadOS 26, or any of Apple’s other OS betas (excluding visionOS), you can find setup instructions here.
