\nApple today released the fourth betas of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, introducing additional refinements to the new features that are coming in the software updates. In these betas, Apple has introduced changes for Safari, Notifications, Focus mode, and more. Apple is continuing to refine the design of Safari on the iPhone, and in \u200ciOS 15\u200c, there are tweaks to improve usability. The dedicated Share button for sending an article to someone has been relocated to the tab bar again, replacing the prior info button. There’s once again a reload button available next to the domain name for quick access to reloading a page. Apple had removed this in a prior beta and made it a long press gesture. Reload can also be accessed through the Share button. When you long press on the URL bar, there’s now an option to \u00ab\u00a0Show Bookmarks,\u00a0\u00bb which makes it much easier to get to your bookmarks. When Reader Mode is available on a website, there’s now a little icon that can be tapped to enter into it. Reader mode is also accessible through the Share interface. Apple has also updated the design of Safari on the iPad, bringing it in line with the macOS Monterey Safari design. \u200cmacOS Monterey\u200c on Safari now includes a separate tab bar option. Support for the MagSafe Battery Pack has been added in \u200ciOS 15\u200c beta 4, so if you have one of the new accessories, it now shows up in the Battery widget and in the Settings app. Apple has very slightly tweaked the design of the Lock Screen Camera icon, removing the button on the left side and increasing the size of the flash and the lens ring. The Settings icon has also been updated. Shortcuts has gained a \u00ab\u00a0Return to Home Screen \u00a0\u00bb action that can be used in automations. The Notifications icon in the Settings app has been updated with a new look. In the Messages app, you can tap on a contact’s name and choose whether or not to share your Focus status with them. Apple is now using its new settings layout in for the App Store account section, with rounded edges and separate sections for each account option. There’s now a functional interface for sharing Memories in Photos, with an option to choose a song that’s appropriate for sharing if an Apple Music song is not available to be shared for copyright reasons.
