Apple is releasing the first iOS 17 public beta, which means users can now test the upcoming version of the popular mobile operating system before everyone else gets it this fall. If you want to try out the new features before anyone else, there are a few precautions you should take and some important information you should know.
First, it’s important to note that some apps and features may not work as expected, so don’t download the public beta on your primary device. Additionally, make sure your home accessories and apps are running relatively fine with the testing version, and make sure you have a cloud or local backup of your data on a stable version of iOS.
The new iOS 17 will be full of new features, such as Live Voicemail, FaceTime, Check-In, StandBy, and Mental Wellbeing. It is compatible with iPhone models from the iPhone XR to the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
To download the public beta, users must enroll their devices in the Apple Beta Software Program. After downloading the public beta profile, they’ll get updates once they are available. Additionally, the first public HomePod Software Version 17 should be available alongside the public beta of iOS 17.
