Apple has released the iOS 14.3 beta version for the iPhone variants and iPadOS 14.3 for the iPad tablets earlier today, bringing new features and an operating system (OS) to work with downloaded applications. However, the OS versions are relatively new, rendering some to malfunction including the latest home screen app icon customization feature for the Apple Devices. 

The most valuable multinational technology company, Apple, has given its users what they wanted and have asked for in the past years, particularly with the widgets and home screen personalization for iOS. These features were initially present on Google's Android but have made their way for iPhones and iPads with the release of the 14th version of the iOS. 

Apple iOS 14.3 Release: Public Version for Beta

Apple's iOS 14 brought a massive lot of new features and upgrades for all compatible devices from the company, including the iPad who shares the same version, which only goes by the name, iPadOS. The public release of Apple's iOS 14.3 beta has dropped on Monday, December 14, with a refresh to the existing iOS released this year.

The third version of the iOS 14 release has been available for beta testers since late November, bringing bug improvements and better integration to Apple smartphones, now available for the public. The popular Apple smartphone which was recently released, the iPhone 12, would enjoy most of its features as it is the device most compatible with the operating system.

With this being said, the change to a new version of the OS would certainly render some apps to have bugs or malfunction because not all are readily updated for the iOS 14.3. Some App icons from customized features may malfunction, but luckily, the five best names have already transcended for the iOS 14.3 beta release.
