Our advice would be to try this out on a secondary device if you have one. So, be careful out there in beta territory, folks. Plus, some third-party apps may not work as intended until they’re officially updated with compatibility for the new iOS/iPadOS. So prepare to see a few of those bugs yourself if you decide to try it out now.Įarly testing has shown this year’s betas to be relatively stable, but even so – it’s quite common for beta software to drain your battery faster than usual, and you might see a few unexpected crashes. Remember, this is unpolished pre-release beta software – its entire purpose is to find as many bugs as possible, so Apple has time to fix them before the official release.

If you’re curious to try out the new software before the rest of the world gets it, it’s an easy process to try out – but it’s not so easy to revert to iOS 13 if you change your mind, so proceed with caution.
