iOS 18 Public Beta Hands-On | Best New Features You NEED to Try!

Apple today provided the first betas of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 to public beta testers, bringing the new software to the general public for the first time since the Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Apple has seeded three developer betas so far, and the first public beta includes the same content that's in the third developer beta.

Public beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program can download the iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 updates by opening up the Settings app, going to General, tapping into the Software Update section and selecting the iOS 18 Public Beta option.

how's the battery life after the update? is it worth it to update to iOS 18 now?

I just downloaded the iOS 18 public beta this morning and I’m loving it so far! Thank you for this video btw! 👍🏾

Just noticed that when you press any of the buttons (power, volume or the action button) on an iPhone, the wallpaper shows a little indication of which one has been pressed as a black wedge/indent!

Thank you for another awesome review!
As an iPhone user, it both delights me and frustrates me to know that nearly all of these new iOS features were available so long ago on Android.

[Only-Hitotsu]

Yeah I already update it. Next customization keyboard feature

[clintonhender]

Is it safe to update without backing up my phone I don't have icloud storage space

[princepathak]

Is public beta 1 and devloper beta 3 re same?

[IkeChristenson]

Anybody else have "Ongoing Device Setup" in the battery settings still there that won't go away?

[NickDrinksWater]

It feels like its jailbroken now, not a bad thing at all. From first impressions its been slightly buggy and some stutters here and there, but it seems pretty good so far

[TravellingTechie]

oof, some of those icon colours look incredible.

[Игорь-дхр]

where can I get these wallpapers for my iPhone?
