iOS 14 Beta Release Date: Tips & Tricks

Monitor iOS 14 Beta Feedback

If this will be your first time trying a beta and you're using an older iPhone model, we recommend waiting a few hours or a few days before installing the iOS 14 beta.

Older devices typically have the most trouble with new software and new operating systems in particular. If you own an older version of the iPhone, be careful with the iOS 14 beta.

You'll also want to approach the beta with caution if you're having a great experience on an older version of iOS. 

When Apple releases the iOS 14 beta, it might be signing on one update: iOS 13.5.1. If that's the case, that's the only update you'll be able to downgrade to if you want to jump off the iOS 14 beta.

Apple isn't signing on iOS 13.5 or any older versions of iOS which means there's no dropping back to any of those versions. 

With that in mind, make sure you're confident moving to iOS 14 beta. Digging through feedback from beta testers will help. 

We expect a ton of feedback about bugs and performance on day one so if you're feeling uneasy, make sure you comb through these reports. 

If you aren't feeling confident about the move from iOS 13 to iOS 14 beta, you might want to wait for long-term feedback.
