iOS 10 Beta updates

[scifan57]

iOS 10 Developer Beta 3 was released earlier today.

iOS 10 Public Beta 2 will likely be released in the next day or so.

Public Beta 2 is not yet available. My device shows it's up to date. Also, I couldn't find anything about a Public Beta update in the news. There's just the Developer Beta update, for now.

You're correct, I've edited my original post.

Hope they release public beta 2 soon... This initial beta has some seriously quirky bugs in it.

I hope so too. As of tomorrow I have no way of updating for at least another week

Is there a time limit to how long you can use a beta version once a new one is released?

Beta versions of iOS software generally have expiration dates, which aren't announced in advance. If you're still on a beta version of iOS when it expires your device will become unusable and will have to be restored, losing all data as a consequence.
Developers and public beta testers are advised to update to the latest beta software when it becomes available, thereby avoiding any chance of still being on an old beta version when it expires.

As I said in a previous post, there's no way to know in advance how long a beta version of iOS will continue to work before expiring. The one thing that is known for sure is that it won't expire before the next beta is released. Also, Apple does not announce in advance when the next beta will be released.

iOS 10 Public Beta 2 has been released.

I am curious to know how different the public is to the developers version

They're likely to be virtually identical, with developer beta 3 the equivalent of public beta 2. The biggest difference is that you have to be on the developer beta if you want to update an Apple Watch to watchOS 3 beta.

Silly question but do they release public beta on the weekends?

The last one was made available sometime this week. I've updated yesterday.
