You should be aware of this when installing the iOS 13 Beta
Before you install the latest iOS 13 beta on your iPhone or iPad, you should pay attention to the following points.
- First, check that your iOS device is compatible with the beta version.
- This includes all models from the iPhone 6s (Plus) series. You need at least an iPad Pro, iPad 5, iPad Air 2 or iPad Mini 4 to install iPadOS.
- Your compatible device should also have the latest version of iOS available. To do this, check in the settings under General and Software Update whether you have the latest version.
- We also recommend that you create a backup of your iPhone or iPad, as the beta version can make the devices unstable and you are protected against data loss.
- There are also two different betas for iOS 13, namely the developer beta for developers and the free public beta. In the following we show you the installation of the public beta.
