  • Apple has seeded the first iOS 18 public beta, providing non-developers with a safer way to try the upcoming iPhone features.
  • Developer and public betas typically share the same build numbers and change logs, but the latter’s release is delayed to ensure stability.
  • You can download and install the public beta on your compatible iPhone by following the steps at the bottom of this article.

Apple has been testing iOS 18 with registered developers for over a month. This allows them to optimize their iPhone apps ahead of fall’s stable release. Now that the company has addressed many of iOS 18’s major bugs, it’s expanding the pre-release builds’ availability to non-developers. Through the iOS 18 public beta program, anyone with an eligible iPhone model can try the upcoming features — while minimizing the associated risks.

New iOS 18 features include extensive Home Screen customization, a revamped Control Center, RCS through the Messages app, a fully redesigned Photos app, iPhone Mirroring on macOS, a new Passwords app, and much more. You can read about them in our iOS 18 review.
