iOS 18.6 Beta 1 has been released on June 16, 2025, with build number 22G5054d. While there are no new release notes for this update, developers and testers are encouraged to report any bugs via the Feedback app.
To access the app, users can enter a specific URL in Safari if they have their beta settings set to “None.”
For those looking to install the beta, Apple provides different methods depending on whether you are using an iPhone or a Mac. To install via iPhone, users need to enable Beta Updates under Settings, make sure they are signed into the correct Apple Account, select the desired beta version, and refresh the software update settings.
Before installation, backing up data to a computer or iCloud is recommended. Users can then proceed with the installation, and if desired, turn off Beta Updates afterward.
For installation using a Mac, users must acquire the Xcode beta or a MobileDevice.pkg, then backup their data. Holding down the Option key while clicking ‘Check for Update’ allows users to select the IPSW file they downloaded.
It’s crucial to connect to the internet during the restore process and keep a backup, as restoring will wipe all data from the iPhone. The update is compatible with a variety of device models across different iPhone series, from iPhone 16 down to iPhone XS, each with their specific build numbers.
Additionally, various carrier updates for different countries have been included, detailing regional compatibility. This comprehensive approach caters to a wide range of users worldwide, ensuring that the latest beta features are accessible as testing continues.
