Yesterday, Dec. 17, Apple released the first developer beta for iOS 13.3.1. The update marked the first new beta in almost a month since iOS 13.3'sfourth beta dropped on Nov. 20. Now, one day later, Apple has pushed out iOS 13.3.1 public beta 1 to everyone who wants to try out new features first.

Apple seeded this first public beta to testers at 1 p.m. EST (10 a.m. PST) on Wednesday, Dec. 18. While Apple sometimes releases public betas three hours after the developer beta, we anticipated a next-day release would be possible.

Unfortunately, it appears there isn't much to see with this update. Just one look at 13.3.1's release notes says it all: "There are no release notes for this software update." If we discover any changes or features, we will add them to this article.
