Apple announced its next operating system, iOS 16, during its WWDC 2022 keynote on Monday. You can download it right now on your iPhone if you want – but you should be aware that it’s currently a developer beta, available only to members of the Apple Developer Program.
While the upgrade isn’t scheduled to be officially released until September, we can walk you through how to use iOS 16 right now, ahead of the public beta.
Here’s what you should know before downloading iOS 16
Since iOS 16 is an early pre-release version, the software will be full of bugs and other issues. Again, if you’re considering downloading iOS 16, do so on a spare or secondary phone. And make sure to backup your device on iOS 15 before updating to iOS 16. That way, if there are too many issues with the new OS, you can choose to go back to iOS 15. Also, you must have an iPhone 8 or later to run iOS 16.
Download iOS 16 with Over-the-Air Update on iPhone or iPad
The easiest way to download iOS 16 is via an over-the-air update, which means updating to any other new software version on your device. The operation steps are as follows:
1. On your iPhone or iPad, go to the Apple Developer Program download page, click Install Profile for iOS 16 beta (iPhone) or iPadOS 16 beta (iPad), and then click Allow.
2. Open the Settings app, tap the downloaded profile, then tap Install in the upper right corner when it appears. If prompted, enter your password, then double-tap Install. Your phone will need to restart.
3. After your phone restarts, connect it to a power source, make sure you’re on Wi-Fi, and go to Settings > General > Software Update. If you don’t see an update available right away, wait a few minutes and check again.
4. Finally, click Download and Install > Install and enter your password to update your device.
Once your phone has finished restarting, you should have access to the latest iOS 16 developer beta.
You can also download iOS 16 with a Mac
Over-the-air updates require a certain amount of storage space, and if you don’t have storage space available, using your computer is really the only way to update to iOS 16 without manually clearing up space.
1. On a Mac, go to the Apple Developer Program download page, find iOS 16 beta or iPadOS 16 beta and click Download Restore Images.
2. Download the iOS beta software recovery image for your specific device.
3. Next, connect your device to your computer and enter your device passcode or click Trust this computer when prompted.
4. Open Finder and click your device under Locations in the sidebar.
5. Generally, next to Software, you’ll see the latest software your device is running.
6. Hold down the Option key, click Check for Updates, and select the iOS 16 beta software recovery image you just downloaded from the Apple developer page.
The iOS 16 beta software will be installed on your device. Wait a few minutes and when your phone restarts, you should have access to iOS 16.
