The first build of iOS 9.2 is out, just a couple of days after Apple rolled out iOS 9.1. At the moment though, the newer mobile operating system is in testing and is only available to public beta testers, who should have received the update over the air by now.
These beta testers are the individuals who were able to register to the Cupertino-based company's beta testing program. Those who want to be part of the public beta testing of the new software can sign up to the service from Apple's website.
Members get the chance to experience raw versions of Apple's latest operating systems may it be for the iPhones and iPads or for Macs (OS X). Before iOS 9.2 gets to its final form, Apple will conduct more beta testing that Mac Rumors says could last for at least a month.
While the iOS 9.1 brought along new emojis and quite a few tweaks and features, the new software is more of a bug killer and it packs a flurry of fixes that improve the stability and the overall performance of iOS devices.
Thanks to Apple iOS 9.2, the Safari View Controller, the in-app browser of iOS apps, now enjoys third-party Action Extensions, making it look and feel more like the Safari app.
Like the original browser, the Safari View Controller will at last allow users to reload content (by long tapping reload button) as well as request a desktop site the moment iOS 9.2 is integrated on the device.
Meanwhile, just hours after Apple seeded iOS 9.2 to registered public beta testers, the leading tech company also made available the first ever beta build of OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan. This is also mere days after its predecessor OS X 10.11.1 was officially put out.
Users can expect more beta builds to come out of Apple but a full blown iOS 9.2 should be available to all users after around four weeks.
