iOS 26 won't be released until the fall.


There isn't even a public beta version yet. Even once there is, installing a beta test version on your main iPhone – the one you rely on every day – would be a bad idea. When you sign up for a beta, you are signing up to be a lab rat, or guinea pig, for software that may be incomplete and full of bugs.


The point of the beta test is to help shake out the bugs, not to give you a stable, polished release several months before everyone else gets it.
