Apple has released iOS 26.3 beta 3 for public beta testers, introducing a few changes. A key addition is the new 'Limit precise location' setting, designed to enhance user privacy by reducing the accuracy of location data available to cellular networks. This feature is initially limited to select iPhone models with C1 or C1X modems.

This new privacy feature could be a welcome update for users concerned about their location data. Currently, it's only available on the iPhone Air or iPhone 16e, with support from carriers also being limited. Apple is expected to expand compatibility in future updates, potentially including the upcoming iPhone 18 line.

Beyond privacy, iOS 26.3 also includes a minor update to the share sheet UI. The 'More' button has been replaced with a 'View More' option, using a down-facing arrow for clarity. It's a small change, but improves usability. The public beta program allows users to test new features before the final release.

What's next? Expect Apple to continue refining iOS 26.3 based on beta feedback. The final version will likely roll out to all compatible iPhones in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for further improvements to privacy settings and design tweaks as Apple continues to iterate on its mobile OS.
