How to Download and Install iOS 16 Beta

Apple has launched iOS 16 with a slew of new features, including the ability to edit messages you’ve already sent in the Messages app, new tools for customizing your iPhone, such as the ability to customize the look of your lock screen, and new automation for sharing photos in Photo Libraries with friends. We will however show you how to download and install iOS 16 Beta.

The good news is that the iOS 16 beta is now ready for download, but you must be cautious because it is still in development and will almost certainly have bugs. You can wait for the stable version to be released, but if you can’t wait, you can download and install the developer beta from the link below.

First, we need to know what kind of devices are supported by iOS 16.

iOS 16 is Compatible with these Devices

iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 13, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone SE (2nd generation or later)

The iPhone 6S, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, and the iPhone SE 1st Gen model, however, are no longer supported. Sad, but let’s move on.

iOS 16 Beta Download and Installation Process

Before you install the iOS 16 beta on your iPhone, I recommend you back up your iPhone first. Because the beta version always has a lot of bugs that we can’t predict, so back up the data first and you can do it without worry.
