How to install iPadOS 15 beta
Before installing iPadOS beta on your iPad, you should know that there are risks in doing so. Features and/or applications may be partially or completely disabled. And as a worst-case scenario, the iPad itself may break if things go wrong. So if you depend on your iPad for work or study, you may want to stick with the stable versions. If you decide to proceed, follow the steps below:
- Using Safari on your iPad, visit developer.apple.com or beta.apple.com and download an iPadOS beta profile. The previous link requires an Apple Developer account and gives you access to developer beta versions. The latter program is free for all users to join, but public beta versions tend to drop after a period of beta for developers.
- Go to Settings app > General > VPN & Device Management and follow the onscreen instructions to install the trial configuration profile. You will have to restart your iPad after that for the beta software update to appear.
- Head to Settings again > General > Software Update and wait for the page to refresh. After the beta update appears, download and install it as you normally would.
- there he is! Once your iPad has finished installing the update, you’ll be able to try out the latest iPadOS beta features.
