The iOS 26 public beta is rumoured to be starting before the end of July 2025 and most reports say Apple could offer the new version for beta users sometime this week. The developer beta has given us a good idea about what Apple plans to offer with the new version, which includes the Liquid glass interface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">These beta updates have raised concerns primarily because of how buggy the apps and features are but that is always going to happen when these versions are solely meant for testing purposes. So, if you want a more polished update, the iOS 26 public beta is the one worth waiting for<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 26 Public Beta Release: Which iPhones Are Supported?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The iOS 26 update will be compatible with iPhone 11 and higher models this year. If anybody is still using the iPhone Xs, or Xr models, it is time to upgrade in the next 12 months. These iPhones will be eligible for the iOS 26 public beta:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">iPhone 11<\/span><\/li>\n<li>iPhone 11 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 11 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 12<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 12 Mini<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 12 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 12 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13 Mini<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 13 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 14<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 14 Plus<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 14 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 14 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 15<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 15 Plus<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 15 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16 Plus<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16 Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone 16 Pro Max<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 26 Public Beta Version: How To Install<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Apple will start the iOS 26 public beta program which will allow iPhone users to sign up and receive the first version for the new iOS update.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Go to Apple beta website <\/span><\/li>\n<li>Sign in using your Apple ID<\/li>\n<li>Enable your iPhone to receive iOS 26 beta updates<\/li>\n<li>Tap on Settings<\/li>\n<li>Go to General \u2013 Software update<\/li>\n<li>Turn on iOS 26 beta update toggle<\/li>\n<li>Get the new iOS 26 public beta version<\/li>\n<li>Authenticate using your six-digit passcode<\/li>\n<li>Reboot your iPhone and get the iOS 26 public beta installed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>iOS 26 Public Beta Update: New Features Expected<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Apple faced a lot of criticism with the Liquid Glass UI with the developer beta 1 update and the new version fixes those on the Control Centre and the overall layout. You don\u2019t see the tabs overlapping with the glass interface which gives it a cleaner and readable finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The iOS 26 public will get a new Alt 1 ringtone.
