hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today apple finally released the ios 16 public beta
it's available to everywhere around the world at the exact same time if you have a supported device
so you'll need an iphone 8 8 plus all the way up to the iphone 13 pro and pro max
or third generation iphone se now the first thing we need to do is go to safari and then
type in beta.apple.com under beta.apple.com you can see apple beta software program scroll down
and you can see the available software updates so ios 16 ipad os 16 mac os ventura tv os 16
watch os 9 and even home pod software 16. all of those are available now now you'll need to
either sign up using an apple id or sign in if you're already a member so i'll go ahead and sign
in once you're signed in just tap on the version that you want whether you're on the iphone or
ipad and then scroll down you can learn more about it and then it talks about enrolling your device
tap on enroll your ios device and first it's going to tell you to archive a backup
this is a highly recommended step whether that be on itunes or on your mac within the finder
or in icloud so what you want to do in order to back up your phone is go to settings under
settings tap on your name at the top then under the icloud category you can see icloud backup
now if you have some of these things turned on such as icloud drive and messages and safari
all of those things will sync either way but either way i would highly recommend a backup tap
on icloud backup and then backup now after you're done backing up you'll have a full backup of your
phone including everything that's turned on in the previous menu whether that be your photos
your contacts calendars and more you can also verify those on icloud.com once you've completed
that backup go back to safari and scroll down now you need to install the beta profile so we'll
tap on download profile it will take a second we'll tap on allow and then we'll tap on close
go back into your settings and you'll see profile downloaded under profile downloaded it's going to
pop up on its own saying ios 16 and ipad os 16 beta software tap on install once you've put
in your password then go ahead and tap install tap install again and it'll ask you to restart now you
don't necessarily have to do this it's probably a wise idea but if you don't tap on not now tap on
done go back and then under software update at the top check for an update and you'll see the
update here now if you're not seeing the update and you have automatic updates turned on go ahead
and turn that off go back and then you can check for an update again and it will show up either
way that's how you actually install the beta now this is a pretty large install at 5.27 gigabytes
and this will take a little bit of time to install now once you tap on download and install it can
take quite some time to download it depending on your internet connection and of course a
lot of people are trying this out as well so that could slow things down but it could take a while
to download after it's downloaded it can take anywhere from five to even 30 minutes to install
depending on what your device is so give it some time and then once it reboots you should be good
to go now one thing i wanted to warn you about is that not everything will work properly i've been
using the beta for quite some time some banking apps don't work properly there's other bugs and
issues where sometimes the music widget doesn't show on the lock screen and there's things that
will crash here and there so just keep that in mind it's a beta and if you are having issues
make sure you report them in the feedback app it's very important to report these as apple doesn't
hear what you have to say any other way they don't look at social media for problems or anything else
make sure you go into feedback and report that now within the feedback app you'll see recent
activity where you can see the latest notes on the latest release such as ipad os 16 beta 3 and ios
16 beta 3 and then see all of the different notes about that however also keep in mind if you're
having issues tap in the bottom right hand corner and then you can report an issue based on what
you're having an issue with it takes logs from the system and more and then sends that to apple they
categorize those and prioritize those based on the level of severity and then work on those as they
get closer to the public release now if you're wondering if you should install ios 16 public beta
typically if it's on your main device you can try it and apple typically makes this available
to everyone because they think it's stable enough at this point however i would warn you that there
will be bugs battery life is typically affected where it's not as good and you can have all sorts
of odd issues where apps don't work anymore if you're still having an issue i'll have a different
video on how to downgrade so you can downgrade but you will need a computer to do that so just a word
of warning before you try it out now if you're wondering if you were on the developer beta and
should you switch to the public beta if you're worried about stability and everything else i
would definitely recommend installing the public beta you can do that by going into your settings
and instead of using the developer beta go down and delete the beta profile that's under vpn and
device management under general delete the beta profile from the developer beta reinstall using
the method i showed earlier and then you'll get the public betas from here on out that will allow
you to have the most recent stable build that apple has where sometimes it avoids issues where
there's problems in between the current version of ios 16 beta 3 is the same as public beta 1
but the problem with it is we had a beta 3 before and apple re-released a new version to bring it up
to the same version as the public beta so there's some odd issues here and there just beware and if
you don't want to usually deal with most of those if there's some major issues definitely install
the public beta and so that's how you install ios 16 public beta if you're trying it out i'd love to
hear from you in the comments below and of course i'll link this wallpaper in the description like
