Apple today provided developers with release candidate builds of the upcoming watchOS 26.3, tvOS 26.3, and visionOS 26.3 updates for testing purposes. The software comes a week after Apple provided a third beta version. Release candidates are the final version of updates that will be provided to the public if no bugs are found.
Software updates are available through the Settings app on each device, and since this is a developer beta, a free developer account is required.
We don’t know what new features might be added to watchOS 26.3, visionOS 26.3 and tvOS 26.3, and nothing new has been discovered yet. Apple usually doesn’t provide release notes for beta versions, so we may not know what’s new until software updates are released unless there are external changes.
Software updates are likely to roll out next week when the RCs are available.
