10 Things to Do Before Installing iOS 12 Beta is a post by Adam Mills from Gotta Be Mobile.
If you’re planning to install the iOS 12 beta on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch you’ll want to spend some time preparing yourself, and your device, for the move. A little prep work ahead of time can go a long way toward preventing frustrating issues during, and after, the installation.
As expected, Apple’s confirmed its next major iOS update for its stable of mobile devices. The official version of iOS 12 won’t arrive until the fall alongside the company’s 2018 iPhones, but you’ll be able to try iOS 12 and its changes long before Apple finalizes the software.
Apple’s put the iOS 12 into testing alongside its upcoming iOS 11.4.1 update. The iOS 12 beta is currently limited to those in the company’s developer program, but you can expect the update to land in the public Beta Software Program within the next few weeks as Apple expands testing to all devices capable of running the software. It’s a list that includes the iPhone 5s and iPad mini 2.
The iOS 12 beta is an extremely tempting download thanks to a solid feature set which includes upgraded Notifications, changes to Do Not Disturb and various performance improvements.
While some of you might want to wait for the second iOS 12 beta (to fix some initial problems) or the final public release this fall, some of you might want to try the new features right now.
If you decide to install the iOS 12 beta on your device, you’ll want to be careful. The iOS 12 beta is pre-release software and pre-release software is often riddled with bugs and performance issues that could have an impact on your day-to-day use.
It’s difficult to predict precisely how the iOS 12 beta will run on your device and that’s why we recommend setting aside some time to prepare for the download and installation, particularly if this will be your first time trying pre-release iOS software.
How to Prepare for iOS 12 Beta
To assist you in this endeavor, we’ve put together a guide that will take you through the most important steps to take before you download the iOS 12 beta to your phone or tablet.
For some of you, these steps will take less than 10 minutes. For many others, they could take upwards of 30 minutes or more. It all depends on the current state of your device and your skill level.
