Apple today released Wednesday, May 6, the fourth developer beta for iOS 13.5. This update comes a week after the release of iOS 13.5 dev beta 3, which introduced the joint COVID-19 exposure notification API from Apple and Google for iOS for the first time
Apple started developers 13.5 dev beta 4 at 10:00 AM PDT . If you have experience with iOS beta testing, you know that Apple tends to release beta updates at this time. However, don't expect the update to hit your device if you're using the public beta. This update is only for registered developers. We expect Apple to release 13.5 public beta 3 today at 1
Most important of the new features in this update is the "COVID-19 Exposure Logging" setting. This option replaces last week's "Exposure Notifications" settings page and adds a description of how the exposure registry works. Unlike the notification setting in dev beta 3, this setting is currently not interactive, as it requires installing an app authorized by Exposure Logging. There is no such app yet.

Last week, Apple changed the name of this beta from 13.4.5 to 13.5 , while the beta numbering remained the same, putting all of us in the process, that name change was probably due to the aforementioned inclusion of the COVID-19 exposure notification API, although that wasn't the only new feature in the beta. added a new option to turn off auto zoom for tiles in g FaceTime calls after complaints that the constant movement during busy conversations was distracting. iOS 13.5 dev beta 4, you must be a registered developer. You can use the recovery image for your iPhone available in the developer portal (install with iTunes or Finder) or install the configuration profile and then update wirelessly. If you have already installed the profile on your iPhone, go to Settings -> General -> Software Update to start installing the latest beta version, or you can wait for it to install automatically if "Automatic Updates" is enabled .
