iOS 15 - Should You Install Beta?

Apple has launched open beta tests of iOS 15 and iOS 15. Check if it's worth joining the tests and taking the risk now. Today, Apple officially launched the first public beta tests of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. Despite the fact that the beta is generally available, it does not mean that you need to download it immediately. Be aware that, like beta versions, they can be full of bugs and flaws that could stop your devices from functioning optimally. Before you decide to install this type of software, it is worth protecting yourself and taking some important steps against it.

The first is to back up all the data on the smartphone or tablet whose software you want to update. Most iPhone users (although this probably also applies to people using other devices) probably create backups too rarely, or not at all, so you have to remember this even more when deciding to download the iOS 15 beta. If you decide to return to the older version later software, something can always go wrong and you may lose some data as a result. Creating a backup will solve this problem.

Apple also reminds us of the same. On the website of the American giant, we can find quite a long warning in which it warns us to save our data before taking part in the beta test of the software. It also reminds you that this is still a test version and may contain bugs and inaccuracies. He also suggests that we do not use our main device for beta testing, and, if we have such an opportunity, use a spare phone / tablet.

Speaking of software bugs, what can you expect after installing iOS 15? There can be a lot of bugs and they can affect almost anything. Some users have already noticed that the new system drains the battery much faster. They encountered errors in the operation of applications, such as iCloud or HomeKit, and crashes of the entire system or the home screen. There have been cases where it was necessary to restart the entire device just to open the home screen.

We may encounter further problems if we decide to use external applications. Of course, beta tests are also a great opportunity for their producers to check the compatibility of their programs with the new system, but you have to reckon with the fact that not everything will work perfectly from the very beginning. Therefore, let's take a fix for it and be aware that after updating the system, some of the previously installed applications may not work properly or not start at all.

If you still want to check the beta version of iOS 15 or iPadOS 15, we suggest you follow Apple's advice and do it on a spare device, if you have the opportunity. This way you will reduce the possible risk of losing important data. You can also look for bugs in your favorite applications and functions without much risk and decide on this whether it pays to install the software beta also on your main tablet or smartphone. If you have one iPhone and one iPad, don't install beta systems on both at the same time! Make sure the systems are stable and then possibly make a decision to try another one.

The iOS 15 beta does seem fairly stable after all, though, of course, it's still far from reliable. So you will meet with fewer or more errors and shortcomings. However, if you are determined to test the possibilities of the upcoming system and you take into account the difficulties in using the beta, you can register to participate in the tests on the Apple website.
