iOS 15 beta: caveat
Before rushing to the beta version of iOS15, we need to let you know about a “slight” downside: it can damage or even render unusable your iPhone or iPad.
For Apple, a beta version is used to identify possible bugs or problems with its operating system. So there is no guarantee that it will not damage your device. In other words, when using a beta version, it is at your own risk.
If you still want to use iOS 15 beta, then we recommend that you back up the data on your iPhone or iPad first.
How do I get iOS 15 beta?
Formerly limited to developers, the public can now download beta versions of iOS. Note that these are not finished products, so they do not provide the best user experience.
If you still want to test iOS 15 beta, you can either sign up for the Apple Developer Program or the Public Beta Software Program.

- Now sign in to the iOS Dev Center using the same Apple ID.

- Download the appropriate beta for your device.
