Additionally, the system allows us to specify a specific Apple ID to check for participation in the beta program. So, if we have an Apple ID, even if it&#8217;s not the primary one, that is enrolled in the developer program or public betas, we can easily install those versions like never before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to install iOS 17 public beta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we begin, <strong>let&#8217;s create a backup of all the content<\/strong> on our iPhone or iPad. We can do this directly in iCloud or use our Mac to archive a specific backup that we can restore later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, we go to <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.apple.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">beta.apple.com<\/a> and enroll in the public beta program using our Apple ID. This is the Apple ID that we can later associate with the betas in the Settings app, so if we prefer to use a secondary ID, we can do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WWDC 2023 \u2014 June 5 | Apple\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GYkq9Rgoj8E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To conclude, it&#8217;s important that before installing the iOS 17 beta, we have <strong>updated our iPhone or iPad to version 16.4<\/strong> of the operating system or later. Remember that it is in this version where we can choose to install the betas in the Settings app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From here, we can proceed to install the iOS 17 beta. The exact steps to follow are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the <em>Settings <\/em>app on our iPhone or iPad.<\/li><li>Go to <em>General<\/em>.<\/li><li>Tap on <em>Software Update<\/em>.<\/li><li>Under <em>Automatic Updates<\/em>, we will see a new option called <em>Beta Software Updates<\/em> (may take some time to appear). This is the one we need to tap.<\/li><li>Choose <strong>iOS 17 Public Beta<\/strong> and <em>go back<\/em>.<\/li><li>The iOS 17 public beta will appear, and we just need to tap <em>Download and Install<\/em> to proceed.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, here are some tips and resources if the update takes longer than expected to appear. The first and most basic is to force quit the Settings app and re-enter to check for the update. The second is to <strong>choose <em>No again in Beta Software<\/em> <em>Updates <\/em>and then change it back<\/strong> so that the system searches for updates again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If none of this works, let&#8217;s make sure we are indeed on iOS 16.4 or later and that we have logged in with the Apple ID registered in the public beta program. We can do this in the <em>Beta Software Updates<\/em> section, at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having said all that, it&#8217;s worth noting that this year <strong>Apple allows us to install the developer beta without a paid account<\/strong> in the developer program. So, we have a choice. Which one is more convenient? Between enrolling in the public beta program and opening a free account in the developer program, the differences are minimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have always heard that it&#8217;s better not to install developer betas, but the truth is that public betas, in general, are the same as developer betas. The main difference is that public betas arrive later, both in the sense that they are released almost a month after the unveiling of iOS 17 and that they lag a few days behind subsequent betas released during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"iOS 17\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/aa0ea39a-3047-47be-9b3a-938ac771524a\/234379927\/ios-17-download-ios-17.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">iOS 17<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any case, going back to the public betas, with these steps, we will be able to install and test the new features that come with the iOS 17 beta.
