The iOS 26 public beta is currently available, with the developer beta released during WWDC in June 2025. Apple is expected to finalize the iOS 26 release by September 2025. The iOS 26 developer beta can be downloaded by accessing specific settings if the device runs iOS 16.5 and is enrolled in the Apple Developer Program. All iPhone models from 11 onward, excluding the XR and XS, are compatible. Users are advised to back up data before installing beta versions due to possible bugs.
To download the iOS 26 developer beta version, navigate to your settings if your device runs iOS 16.5 and is used with an Apple ID enrolled in the Apple Developer Program.
Apple removed the iPhone XR and XS from its list of supported devices with iOS 26, so any iPhone 11 or newer is compatible with the new operating system.
Before you download a beta version of an operating system, backup your device and personal information, and understand beta software is likely to have bugs.
The iOS 26 public beta comes with its own built-in Feedback Assistant app, which you can open from the Home screen to submit feedback.
