The third beta versions of iOS 9.3 and OS X 10.11.4 were made available to developers earlier this week, but it looks like Apple is opening up the new software updates to public testers as well.

Starting this morning, members of Apple’s public testing program can install iOS 9.3 beta 3 on their devices, bringing new features like NightShift Mode, secure Notes, Control Center changes, the ability to pair multiple Apple Watches to one iPhone, and tons of bug fixes.

OS X 10.11.4 mostly features under the hood improvements and numerous bug fixes. The update contains some small new additions, such as Live Photos in the Messages app, password protected Notes, and the ability to import Evernote content into the Notes app.

Developers also received new updates this week for watchOS 2.2 and tvOS 9.2 which will finally bring Siri voice input to text fields, but they aren’t available to public testers. All four new platform updates are expected to be made available to the public sometime in the Spring.
