Before you install the beta version of Apple's iPhone operating system, you should be aware that this is an early preview version of iOS 18. The operating system has not yet been tested on a large scale. Therefore, it is quite possible that not all functions are fully developed yet.

That's exactly what the public beta is designed for. Users are supposed to find any bugs and inform Apple about them.

As a participant in the Apple Beta Software Program, you can help improve Apple software by testing pre-release versions and telling us about your experiences.

After installing the beta operating system, you may well experience problems with the software on your iPhone. Crashes cannot be ruled out, which is why you should think carefully about the installation.
