#iOS 16 beta

Apple just released the first iOS 16 public beta for testers. The public beta for iOS16 is still rolling out, so it’s still not available to everyone, but make sure that your device is compatible (check out below for the compatibility list). But once available, anyone can try the new features in their iPhone in beta form. Aside from iOS 16, there’s also a first public beta for iPad OS 16, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and HomePod software 16 so we have more than a handful to try out in the beta version. Some of the awaited new features from iOS 16 is the dynamic and significantly improved Lock Screen which a user can now have more control and customization options on their lock screen. Here’s Apple giving caution when trying their public beta: The Apple Beta Software Program lets users try out pre-release software. Please note that since the public beta software has not yet been commercially released by Apple, it may contain errors or inaccuracies and may not function as well as commercially released software. Be sure to back up your iPhone or iPad and your Mac using Time Machine before installing beta software.
