Apple has released the third beta of iOS 9, and it seems to be the biggest update to the operating system so far. The software update brings a revamped Music app with access to Apple Music, the News app announced at WWDC, a new two-factor authentication system, along with other fixes and improvements.

Today's beta is the first iOS 9 beta to include Apple's new News app, first announced at WWDC. The news app offers up a curated list of news stories based on each user's preferences and interests, displays specific channels and topics and also supports the addition of RSS feeds from Safari.

The new two-factor authentication has been entirely revamped. The app folders on the iPad now display apps in a 4x4 arrangement instead of a 3x3 arrangement; thus allowing users to see more apps in a folder.

Another much-appreciated update is the inclusion of a new album dedicated for selfies and screenshots in the Photos app. The Music app in iOS 9 has been updated, offering beta testers access to Apple Music, Beats 1 radio, and Apple Music Connect. There's also a new option in the Settings app under "Music" which allows to stream music at the highest quality on a cellular connection.

There have been released various other updates, such as search improvements, and menu polishing for camera and battery settings.
