iOS 18 public beta now available
Until now, only Apple Developer Program account holders could take part in the iOS 18 beta programme. With the release of the public beta, however, the latest version of the operating system is now open to everyone, giving regular users the chance to try out new features too.What to expect from the beta programme
When joining the public beta, users should understand that not all features will be available straight away, many will roll out in later releases. Getting an early look does come with some trade-offs: you may run into stability issues and faster battery drain. While it is uncommon, Apple's beta builds can cause technical problems and, in rare cases, even lock up the device.
How to set up the iOS 18 public beta
Setting up the public beta is slightly simpler than enrolling in the developer beta, and it is equally free. Users looking for help with the iPadOS 18 beta can rest assured that the setup process is identical. Remember, this is a test programme, so it is best run on a secondary device rather than your main one, to avoid any headaches caused by potential software bugs.Also read
