Apple today released its fourth beta version of an upcoming iOS 11.4.1 developer update. The new beta has the build number 15G5074a. It comes a week after the release of the third beta of iOS 11.4, an update that introduced AirPlay 2 and Messages in iCloud.

iOS 11.4.1 beta 4 is available for developers and the public subscribed to the program to test it.

No new features are listed in the release notes. However, the beta version likely contains bug fixes and improvements to iOS 11.4, the update released late last month that introduced AirPlay 2 and iCloud Messages.
