Before We Begin: What is an iOS Beta?

An iOS beta is a pre-release version of the operating system that is made available to developers and public testers. These versions are typically not as stable as the final release, and they contain bugs, security vulnerabilities, and other issues that need to be addressed before they can be released to the general public. By installing an iOS beta, you gain access to new features and improvements before they become available to the wider public.

Important Note: Installing an iOS beta can be risky, as it may cause instability or even data loss on your device. Proceed with caution, and always back up your important files before installing any software update.

Additionally, it is essential to understand that installing an iOS beta is not a legal option unless you have permission from Apple. Installing the beta without authorization may void your warranty or damage your relationship with Apple.
