Just a month after releasing iOS 10.1, Apple has already released four betas of iOS 10.2. As of today, registered Apple developers can find the fourth beta of iOS 10.2 on the Apple Developer Center. It’s also available for public beta testers and can be downloaded over-the-air.

The fourth beta, which runs on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch, includes upcoming features like three new wallpapers for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, screen effects for Messages, a new TV app, new settings for the Camera, among other additions. The TV app is meant to help users find new movies and television shows to watch and will eventually be available on Apple TVs as well.

And then, of course, there are the multitude of new Unicode 9.0 emoji that come with the latest beta. By Apple Insider’s count, there are more than a hundred new icons available to enrich your text-based communications, along with redesigns of existing emoji. These include long-overdue male and female professional icons of firefighters, doctors, mechanics, lawyers, scientists, and others. Other brand new emoji include the clown face, drooling face, selfie, face palm, fox face, owl, shark, butterfly, avocado, pancakes, and croissant.

The fourth beta of iOS 10.2 is also expected to come with fixes for bugs and other defects in iOS 10.1, like the battery problem that causes iPhones to display 30% charges right before powering off.
