Apple just revealed more details about the upcoming iOS 8.

The Cupertino-based company rolled out the iOS 8 beta 4, which includes a new built-in app called Tips, to developers Monday.

In addition to the new Tips app, the latest version of the iOS 8 comes with a redesigned control center and new menus in Settings, including separate panels for wallpaper and display and brightness, according to iDownloadBlog.

While the control center and settings tweaks aren't major changes, the Tips app is a brand new addition. The app is apparently designed to give users tips and tricks for using iOS 8's features, according to iDownloadBlog. The app will be updated weekly with new tips from Apple, such as navigation shortcuts or tutorials on dictating text messages or how to get the most out of Siri.

Apple is pushing out the update through its over-the-air updating system. It's also available in the iOS Developer Center. Right now, however, only registered developers are able to check out the new iOS 8 beta. The full version of iOS 8 is expected to roll out to consumers this fall when Apple releases the next iPhone.

Apple also released a new developer preview version of the upcoming OS X Yosemite. Apple is expected to release a public beta version of Yosemite prior to the full launch later this month.
