While the iOS 18 general release is still months away, users can download a public beta as soon as next month and the iOS 18 developer beta today. Before you download a beta version of an operating system, you should have some housekeeping items in mind:

  1. Back up your device and personal information
  2. Try not to download the developer software, likely to have bugs and glitches, on your everyday iPhone
  3. You should go into the experience with the goal of testing new features and sharing feedback for the betterment of iOS
