Apple today released the fourth public beta of iOS 10, the next version of its mobile operating system, which will come with updates to Apple News, Apple Music, Messages, and a new Home app, among other things.

This release arrives exactly one week after Apple rolled out the third public beta, and a couple of months after Apple first unveiled iOS 10. Apple doesn’t specify what’s contained in this beta, but generally they include bug fixes and some software updates.
