Apple has released the third public beta version of iOS 13.1 and iPadOS to the testers, beta testers who are enrolled in Apple’s beta testing program will receive the update through the OTA mechanism. However, make sure your device needs to install the appropriate configuration profile. If you are not part of the beta program, you can join the Apple beta testing website.
iOS 13.1 brings several new features that were previously removed from iOS 13. Some of these features include shortcut automation and more. However, iOS 13.1 brings it back. The feature basically allows you to create personal and home automation from the Shortcuts application. When a certain condition occurs, the action will be performed automatically.
Another feature called Share ETA is also available with iOS 13.1. This feature allows you to share the estimated time of arrival with a certain friend or relative.
IOS 13.1 is to seemingly restore the features that were initially available in iOS 13 but were later removed in the beta test process. This includes things like shortcut automation and ETA Share functionality in Apple Maps.
