Hi all!
WWDC just ended and I want to install the iOS 26 beta on my iPhone 12. I’m already signed in with my developer account, but I’m not exactly sure what to do next.
Any clear steps or tips would be super helpful—thanks!

Original Title: How to download iOS 26
iOS 26 won't be available as production software until September/October this year.
Pending eventual release of a public beta, if you have an Apple Developer account, you may be able to sign-up for an early Developer's release. If available to you, you will find details of the beta sign-up process from your Developer Account.

Yep. An angst, I hate and want to downgrade and no one had my permission to change anything day!
Don't forget 'it killed my battery'.

What I wrote was by no means a comprehensive list! 😜

You need to be a developer and have a spare device that you don't need for everyday use or one that you depend on.
Please me iPhone 12 update 26
Are you a registered developer with Apple? If you are, you already have the information that you need.

Nobody here will help you download the beta.
We cannot offer any support for the beta here except how to remove it.
Wait for the public release.
