Betas of iOS 26.3/iPadOS 26.3 Disable Key Continuity Features on New Devices

Apple’s third betas of iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3 reportedly break several Continuity features on newer devices (iPhone 17 series and iPad Pro M5), including iPhone mirroring, AirPlay to Apple TV 4K, Continuity Camera to Mac or Apple TV 4K, and Sidecar from Mac to iPad Pro. Apple has published developer release notes but hasn’t explained the cause; a fix is expected in upcoming betas. A public release of iOS 26.3/iPadOS 26.3 may slip to early February, so testers are advised to hold off updating to the third beta.
