How to update to iOS 18 from Beta?

I have an iPhone 11 phone. I have previously updated to the ios18 public beta system, and now after the release of the official version, I have not found it in the updates, and I have also stopped all the trial updates in order to find the official update.

If you installed the iOS 18 Public Beta on September 9 or later, you likely received the Release Candidate (RC) version, which is identical to the official release that came out on September 16. The build number for both the RC and the final version is 22A3354, so there’s no additional update showing up because you already have the final version installed.


In short, the Release Candidate is the official version if no further changes were made, so your device is fully up to date!

Everyone just turn off your beta updates in the settings and wait for the next stable update, i.e., iOS 18.0.1, 18.1 or whatever’s next. The device will automatically update to the next stable version.

If you really wanna revert now to the current stable version iOS 18, then there is a way using PC or Mac, but you will lose all your data.

Rather just wait as both the beta and the publicly released builds are identical.

Depending on where you are, the official release of iOS 18 may just not have reached the servers handling your are yet, or they're overloaded. Wait a few hours and then try again. It may also be the case that the last RC version you installed is the same as the official release in which case you won't be presented with an update; I haven't checked the release numbers to know for sure. Someone else here can probably say.
