iOS 13continues to be updated on a semi-regular basis. The company is currently beta testing the next major update to the mobile operating system.
Update:Apple has also seeded the corresponding public betas of iOS 13.2, iPadOS 13.2, and tvOS 13.2.

This one, like theiOS 13.1update before it, will certainly squash bugs and improve the overall performance of the software. However, t’s mostly a vehicle to bring a new feature to theiPhone 11,iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. In this case it’s the camera-focused feature Deep Fusion, which will make the already impressive photos captured by Apple’s newest smartphones even more impressive.
The fourth developer beta of iOS 13.2 is available now for registered developers. After the appropriate profiles have been installed, the latest software update can be installed over-the-air or directly from Apple’s developer website.
However, the hero feature of this software update is Deep Fusion, which was previously detailed in aseparate report. Deep Fusion is a complicated feature that’s meant to work in the background, running through several different tasks while the iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro owner takes photos with their smartphone.
Here’s how the background tasks were described in that earlier report:
The telephoto lens will mostly use Deep Fusion, with the Smart HDR feature only taking over in a shot when there are very bright scenes.
The standard wide angle lens, meanwhile, will rely mostly on the Smart HDR feature for bright to medium-bright scenes, and Deep Fusion will kick in with the medium-to-lowlightscenes.
Finally, the ultra wide lens will never use Deep Fusion or Night Mode, because it only supports the Smart HDR feature, and neither of the other features.
Check out the results of Deep Fusion in the photo captured below, which Apple likes to show off with people wearing sweaters:
If there are any other discoveries made in this beta of iOS 13.2, we will update this post accordingly.
Apple also seeded the correspondingiPadOS13.2 beta to developers as well.
The fourth tvOS 13.2 beta was also seeded to developers today. This is a minor update, aiming to squash bugs and improve overall performance.
Finally, Apple seeded the fifth watchOS 6.1 beta to developers as well. The software will patch any lingering issuessince the launchofwatchOS 6to the public, and will also improve overall performance.
There was quite a bit added in a previous beta seed of iOS 13.2. That includes aquick and easy wayto delete Siri and dictation history. iOS 13.2 beta 2 also includes new emoji, anew animationto change noise cancellation features in a pair of upcoming, but still unannounced,AirPods. A new way to delete apps using Haptic Touch, and much more.
There is no word on when this latest software will be available to the public, but, hopefully it will be soon. It’s rumored that iOS 13.2could launchbefore the end of October, though.
