Apple seeds third betas of tvOS 18.2 and visionOS 2.2

Apple has handed out the third developer betas of tvOS 18.2 and visionOS 2.2 for testing, as a fourth general beta round looms.

Monday's developer beta collection was unusual, as it consisted of just two. This time, tvOS and visionOS were the subjects for the latest testing by the Apple developer beta testing program.

The third tvOS 18.2 beta build is number 22K5148a, while the third visionOS 2.2 build is 22N5794a. The second build of tvOS was issued on November 11, while the second visionOS 2.2 build was provided on November 12.

The release didn't include Apple's other operating systems, with watchOS 11.2 still on a second test build, and iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 all on their third builds.

The key addition to visionOS 2.2 are new display options when mirroring a Mac's display. Now, users can select wide and ultra wide views.

AppleInsider and Apple strongly advise that users do not install test operating systems or other beta or RC software onto "mission-critical" or primary hardware, due to the small chance of issues that could result in the loss of data. Testers should therefore use secondary or non-essential devices and make sure they have sufficient backups of any critical data.
