Apple's latest iOS update, iOS 18, was recently announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). The update includes a number of new features, including a redesigned home screen, a customizable control center, locked and hidden apps, satellite text messaging, and a major overhaul of the Photos app. It also introduces various AI features.
Although the general public release of iOS 18 is scheduled for later this year, Apple has already released the first developer beta of iOS 18. Those enrolled in the Apple Developer Program can download it immediately. The program, which previously required an annual fee of $100, now offers a free tier that allows users to download any developer beta for free with an Apple ID.
However, it's important to note that early developer builds are primarily intended for developers to test their apps on upcoming iOS releases and to identify and report bugs. This helps Apple improve the software before its general release. Consequently, these betas may contain bugs and errors that can make your phone unstable, affect app performance, or cause your battery to drain faster than usual.
For those who want to try iOS 18 without dealing with the developer beta, a more stable public beta for iOS 18 is expected to be released later this month.
Before downloading the iOS 18 developer beta, users should make sure their phone is compatible (iOS 18 will run on iPhone XS and later), update their phone to the latest general version and back up your phone. After completing these steps, users can enroll in the Apple Developer Program and download the iOS 18 Developer Beta.
The beta version can be downloaded manually or via an over-the-air update. After signing up for the Apple Developer Program, users should see the option to download the iOS 18 developer beta in their settings. If storage is an issue, the update can be installed using a computer.
After installing the update and restarting the phone, users should run the iOS 18 developer beta. Despite possible bugs and glitches, this provides an opportunity to explore the new features and improvements before the general release
