How To Download And Install iOS 10 Public Beta On Your iPhone, iPad And iPod Touch

How to download iOS 10 public beta right now

At its WWDC 2016 keynote, Apple announced the availability of iOS 10 public beta, the latest version of its operating system software for iPads and iPhones.

It's beta, which means that it's a very early form of the software, so there could be bugs and other problems that (hopefully) won't be in the final version.

So, the iOS 10 beta won't be for everyone – and we wouldn't recommend downloading it if you rely on your iPhone or iPad every day. You'll be much better off waiting for the final release of iOS 10.

Update: The iOS 10 public beta is now available to download. If you can't see the iOS 10 Public Beta download in your region, hold tight - you'll soon have your hands on it.

If you've got a Mac as well, then you can download macOS Sierra public beta right now, which is the latest operating system for desktop Apple devices, and has been designed to work exceptionally well with iOS 10.

The iOS 10 public beta is now available to download, which means you no longer have to join the Apple Developer Program to try it out.
