Apple has released iOS 8.3 to the public, and users can grab the update either over the air or through iTunes.
The third major update for iOS 8, 8.3 adds a number of improvements, including over 300 new and diverse emoji characters. Also added in this update are a number of performance fixes and improvements.
iOS 8.3 was the first version of the operating system to be added to Apple's invitation-only AppleSeed testing program. This meant that more users were able to test the update and send feedback to Apple before public release than previous versions. Hopefully, this practice will lead to more stable software going forward.
Apple has also released OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, which includes the new Photos for Mac app, giving you access to your iCloud Photo Library right on your Mac.
