Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Release identity

iPadOS 26 Beta 6 v2 appeared on 2025-08-14. Its primary build is 23A5318f; that build identifier is scoped to iPadOS even when the same alphanumeric value also appeared on another Apple platform.[1]

What changed at this milestone

The audited milestone records build 23A5318f as a revised iPadOS Beta 6 seed released alongside Public Beta 3. No retained source itemizes what changed inside the revision, so the page does not convert a build replacement into an unsupported bug-fix claim.[2]

How to read these notes

Apple’s iOS and iPadOS 26 developer-notes page was updated throughout the beta cycle. This article uses preserved snapshots to isolate what the retained evidence supports at Beta 6 v2; it does not project the final public notes backward or describe an unlisted revision as a bug or security fix.[2][3]
