Apple is releasing iOS 12.2 beta 5 for iPhone and iPad today. The latest beta update should be released over-the-air at the top of the hour. Apple also released the fifth beta versions of watchOS 5.2, tvOS 12.2, and macOS 10.14.4 today as well.


iOS 12.2 and the related software updates largely focus on supporting smart TVs that work with Apple’s Home app. Other changes include new Animoji characters including the new shark, owl, giraffe, and warthog options — plus a few more changes.
