If you're not a registered developer, it's not available for user testing at this time. Public Beta testing won't start for weeks at this point. You of course know that you should NEVER put beta software on your primary device, right?

iOS 26 developer betas are for

  • Helping Apple to find bugs in iOS
  • Helping developers to get their apps ready to work with the new version of iOS when it comes out


They may be incomplete and full of major bugs that would make them unusable – including data destroying bugs, and bugs that break apps that people rely on every day.


These forums are full of threads started by people who installed the developer beta without much thought – and regretted it. And presumably regretted it more once they learned that their failure to make any archived backups made it impossible to go back to iOS 18.5 without losing data.
