How to install the iOS 14 public beta on your iPhone. After Apple released the second beta for iOS 14 for developers last week, the public beta for all interested users followed yesterday evening. This gives Apple customers the opportunity to test the upcoming operating system before completion and to give appropriate feedback so that the release in the fall runs without major problems. How to install the beta on your devices.
Before you install the iOS 14 and iPadOS beta on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you should be aware that a beta is not a ready-made version and therefore has some bugs that may limit its use. Therefore, if possible, do not use a device that you absolutely need. Support from third-party apps can also be limited. Banking apps in particular often refuse to work at Betas.
Also make sure that you make a backup or backup of your data before updating to beta. In this case, Apple recommends a backup via iTunes, which you should also archive so that you prevent overwriting.
