Yet there are a few months left before iPhone users upgrade to iOS 16the future version of Apple’s operating system, which was introduced in early June at WWDC 2022. And although we were already shown the main lines of what we can expect in the presentation, Apple generally reserves some features and news to show later, either before or after , since the operating system has already reached its users.

We saw this as recently as last week when Apple announced Isolation Mode, new security configuration designed specifically for those who could become victims of spying with tools like Pegasus, and we can’t rule out further announcements of new features for iOS 16 in the coming months, although it no longer seems very likely before its release.

Due to a mixture of the desire to test new features and verify first-hand the experience of using a new operating system, many users want to be able to test its beta versions early before it is available to everyone. . Apple knows this and so does Microsoft with its Insiders program offers to all users who want it (and that of course they have suitable equipment), possibility to test public beta versionsin this case, those of iOS 16.

And what are the suitable devices? Well, the ones that Apple has announced as compatible with iOS 16, namely the following:

• iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max
• iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max
• iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max
• iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max
• iPhone X, iPhone XR
• iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus
• iPhone SE (2nd generation or later)

Users who have an iPhone of any of these models can, if they wish,Join the testing program and install the first iOS 16 public beta. To do this, they will need to access this address from Safari and once there, follow the steps provided on the said web page. The first of course is to do a full backup of your device first in case there is a problem with the beta version.

At this point, it is important to clarify that when Apple releases a beta version like this one for iOS 16 to all users, this one is mostly pretty polished, but that doesn’t mean it’s 100% reliable, let’s not forget that we are talking about beta versions. With the backup already done, the device will need to be enrolled in the testing program, download and install the profile, and install it from the operating system update manager when a beta compatible with the device is released.
