If you're interested in testing the public beta of iOS 16 on your iPhone, you're in good luck since it is now accessible for download and update for any daring user.

iOS 16 introduces several useful new features for iPhone users. Most notably, there's a redesigned lock screen with customization options and widgets. Additionally, other exciting features include the ability to edit sent iMessages, set up different lock screens for various Focus modes, schedule email sending, handoff FaceTime calls, and much more.

As always, it’s crucial to keep in mind that beta system software tends to be buggy and significantly less stable compared to the final versions released to the general public. Furthermore, features often change or get adjusted during the beta period. If you choose to try out the iOS 16 beta, expect some bugs, and note that certain apps might not function as intended (or at all).

Prerequisites for Installing iOS 16 Public Beta

Ensure your iPhone supports iOS 16, has enough storage space available (aim for at least 20GB free), and that you have a complete backup of your iPhone data either via iCloud, iTunes on PC, or Finder on Mac. It is recommended to back up to a computer so you can archive the backup and later downgrade from the iOS 16 beta if needed.
