The public beta testers who signed up for Apple’s free beta testing program are now allowed to download iOS 16.3 and iPadOS 16.3 betas from the public beta website. Presently, both iOS 16.3 and iPadOS 16.3 appears to be a minor software update. The software update includes support for physical security keys which will add a layer of protection to Apple ID.
With this upcoming feature, Apple users will be able to use a physical FIDO certified security key for device authentication whenever they use their Apple ID on iCloud or on a new device. Along with this, the update also includes an easier process for transferring a song to a HomePod from an iPhone and vice versa. Apart from this no other major change has been found in the beta yet.
