How to install the iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 public betas
Apple's iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 won't launch fully until later in 2021, but you don't need to be a developer to test the public beta right now. If you're willing to risk encountering possible bugs in order to try out the new features, we're going to walk you through the steps for installing the software. It's a similar process for iPhone and iPad, but we've made separate sections for each OS.
These betas will update periodically leading up to the final release. Judging from years past, that release should be around the end of the summer, close to when Apple hosts its usual autumn hardware event.
Before we get started, here's the usual word of warning about installing unfinished beta software: these releases may seem stable for general use, but they could contain bugs that won't be squashed until the final releases roll out later in 2021. Also, it's possible that some of the promised features won't be in the beta initially. Your experience may differ from others depending on the apps you use. And finally, if you do decide to install, I suggest backing up your device's data, in case things go badly.
Some new features coming to iOS 15 include updates to FaceTime, Messages, notifications, privacy controls, and much more. FaceTime will support spatial audio and reflect the speaker's location on-screen, with a new voice isolation ability that can remove background noise. Other changes for FaceTime include the ability to share music and videos during calls and to invite Android users to a FaceTime call with a shareable link.
