First, go to Settings, then General, and select Software Updates. Here, you can enable Beta Updates, ensuring you’re signed into the correct Apple Account.
After selecting your preferred beta, remember to back up your device before installation. For Mac users, the installation process requires the Xcode beta or a specific MobileDevice.pkg.
