Apple's iOS 15.5 beta has arrived. Unfortunately, that's only for developers right now.

Apple released iOS 15.4 last month, and with it 37 new emoji and the ability to use Face ID while wearing masks. Beta versions of iOS usually drop immediately after the latest version is publicly released, but Apple has been unusually slow with its next update to the iPhone operating system. iPhone and iPad owners waited almost a month for iOS 15.5.
But the wait is now over, with Apple releasing the first version of the iOS 15.5 beta on Tuesday, April 5. Most of the changes are small tweaks to applications, laying the groundwork for larger future changes. The biggest functional change is the inclusion of "Send" and "Request" buttons for the Cash section of Apple Pay, saving you a few steps for those transactions.
Other changes include the iTunes Pass for Wallet feature being renamed Apple Balance, as spotted by 9to5Mac. There's also more support for SportsKit as Apple prepares to integrate live baseball into its content catalog. MacRumors also found references to a new Apple Classical app that appears to be the end of Apple's acquisition of classical music streaming service Primephonic last year. Future versions of iOS 15.5 may include a standalone classical music app.
We'll continue to update this page as future versions are released and more features are added to the iOS 15.5 beta. In the meantime, check out all the rumors we've heard about Apple's iOS 16. We'll also show you how to unlock your iPhone while wearing a mask and the latest privacy features you should try. And when is WWDC, Apple's developer conference?
