Promised by Apple for this month, the first public beta versions do iOS 17 (build 21A5277j), do iPadOS 16 (I’m going to macOS Sonoma 14 (23A5286i), do watchOS 10 (21R5305e), do tvOS 17 (21J5303h) and Software do HomePod 17 Finally, they were released to general users.
The builds come following the third developer betas — which were updated yesterday and feature the very same builds described above.
It should be remembered that Apple started to make access to developer beta versions available free of charge to everyone, so users in general do not necessarily need to wait for public betas to install new systems. However, they tend to be a little less risky than betas. devs.
In addition, it never hurts to warn that, although they are available to everyone, we are still talking regarding trial versions, so it is always recommended to avoid installing these versions on your main devices — even if, according to many users, the betas are quite “stable” ” this year.
Without further ado, see below what to do to correctly install the trial versions and thus avoid any headaches! ????
how to prepare
First of all, you need to be part of the Apple Beta Software Program — totally free program that gives access to trial versions of Apple systems. After registering, make sure your device is compatible with iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, watchOS 10 and tvOS 10.
Backup
Before proceeding with the installation, it is highly recommended that you perform a backup of your device. This is because, if something goes wrong with the installation (or you simply regret it), your data will not be lost.
On iOS/iPadOS, you can back up to either iCloud or your computer. It’s always worth remembering that Mac/PC backups can be encrypted and therefore include health, activity, and iCloud Keychain data.
On macOS, the most practical and fastest way to make a backup is by Time Machineas we explained in this video.
How to install the betas
With all that done, it’s time to move on to the most important part: the installation. With your registration in the Apple Beta Software Program duly done, go to this page directly from the iPhone, iPad or Mac where the beta version will be installed and follow the displayed step by step.
In the case of the Apple Watch, this process must be done by the iPhone with which the watch is paired – and beware that, unlike the others, there is no way to reverse the process.
On iOS/iPadOS
On iOS/iPadOS, go to Settings » General » Software Update and below “Automatic Updates” a new option “Beta Updates” will appear, tap on it. Then select “iOS 17 Public Beta” and go back to the Software Update page, which will show the available beta update automatically.
Not macOS
On macOS, just like on iPhone/iPad, just go to System Settings » General » Software update and, in the “Beta Updates” options, select “macOS Sonoma Public Beta”. Then click “Done” and install the new version.
No watchOS
To do this in watchOS, you need to go (still on the iPhone) to Settings » General » Software Update and, in the same way, tap on the “Beta Updates” option, selecting the “watchOS 10 Public Beta” option.
Not tvOS
On tvOS, go to Settings » Accounts, select the “Apple ID” option and sign in at least one of the accounts used (such as iCloud, iTunes and App Store or Game Center) with the same Apple ID used to sign up for the beta program. then go to Settings » System » Software Update and enable public beta updates.
No Software do HomePod
If your iPhone or iPad is already running iOS 17, just open the Home app (Home), tap the “…” button in the upper right corner of the screen and “Settings”, then choose the “Software Update” option, and activate the option in the “Beta Updates for HomePod” menu by selecting the HomePods you want to install on the beta software.
Good tests to all and, to those who have already installed the new systems previously, what have you thought of the new features and, mainly, of the systems’ performances?
