iOS 10.2 public beta 3 has already been released for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, so at this moment any regular user can install this version of the operating system. We are talking about a publicly offered build, bringing for us changes for the better for performance and solving some bugs already reported to the Apple company by users.
Moreover, iOS 10.2 public beta 3 has a new animation for the entire screen of the Messages app, called Love. Separately, those from Apple removed the SOS Urgenta system, it being intended only for India, so it will only be available there, not in other areas of the planet, even if it would be useful almost anywhere.

Of course, you will only be able to use these backups in iOS 10.2 beta 3 or a newer version of the operating system, but it is good to have them made in case of need.
