The iOS 9.3 beta will also be useful to the users who have more than one Apple watch.

There’s no word on when Apple’s planning to release iOS 9.3, but we’ll update you as soon as it hits the devices.

The preview version of iOS 9.3 is now available with a full release to follow at a later date. Night Shift aims to solve this problem by using your phone’s geolocations and clock to determine when it’s sunset in your given location. If it is, iOS 9.3 will automatically shift the colors on the device to something warmer so the device is easier on the eyes.

The display will return to its regular setting once it detects that the sun is rising in your area.

A clever addition to say the least.

The updated app switcher may not be a new feature, since it’s been there since the beginning, but with tvOS 9.2 the app switcher will be getting a facelift. As its name suggests, this feature was mainly designed for students and for schools that use iPad as part of their teaching methods.

It is, no matter how good an upgrade, a sideshow.

Then the next revelation is that Apple is obviously developing its own Night Shift feature in-house, forcing f.lux to quit.

Among the update in iOS 9.3 is the privacy added to notes.

IDigital Times though clarified that Apple has not yet released a public version of the beta, but the developers may now download and install the latest iOS 9.3 via the download links on Apple’s developer portal (OTA).

Other new features include improved personalization in the News app, better integration between the Apple Watch and new Car Play features. In the Health app, finding third party health applications is much easier.

Through the classroom app, the teacher will be able to keep a tab on each student and understand which app is being used by them.

Another notable new update is the ability to use the Touch ID fingerprint scanner to protect Notes, ensuring that any sensitive information is kept secure.
