Before the final public release, Apple has seeded an iOS 8.3 Beta for users to test its potential pros and cons. The users who wish to download and install iOS 8.3 Beta, should opt for it. The iOS 8.3 Beta version will be installed on devices running iOS 8.1.3 or higher. The beta version for iOS 8.3 arrived a few days after the iOS 8.2 announcement.
Before you test the iOS 8.3 Beta you should be a member of Apple Seed program which is free and registrations can be taken from Apple itself.

Apple warns if you choose to be a part of this service, “Don’t blog, post screen shots, tweet, or publicly post information about the public beta software, and don’t discuss the public beta software with or demonstrate it to others who are not in the Apple Beta Software Program.''
