iOS 9.2 Beta 4: what's new with the update

A new iOS 9.2 beta version is now out, months after the first version was released. The beta version 4 comes shortly after the third version was made available.

People can now test out the latest beta version, which holds several features and upgrades to give a better usage experience once the full iOS 9.2 is released.

With the arrival of beta version 4, users are expected to feel an improvement in the 3D Touch technology of both iPhone 6S and 6s Plus. Neurogadget noted that those who own the 6s Plus will be able to tell the changes.

The new version also allows users to have better swiping experience in Safari. Swiping on the screen from top toward the left brings back a page and the direction of top to right shows the next page. The update gives a quicker response to this gesture.

Another highlight of the iOS 9.2 beta version 4 is an update to Siri, which now makes the assistant able to recognize the Arabic language. Last month, Apple opened its outlets in Middle East, Yahoo reported. With the update, those residing in the Middle East will be able to use their own language to pull up Siri. The Arabic language has also been incorporated into the keyboard features.

NumberSync was also added to the update, which makes AT&T-connected devices use only one number.

iOS 9.2 Beta 4 is now available for download for those who are part of Apple's public beta testing and developer program.

Members of the program can find the file by navigating to the Settings of their devices and choosing General and then Software Update.

Those who are not part of the program but want to be can do so by signing up with their Apple account. Once the sign up process has been completed, users can start downloading the update and installing it on their devices.
