Okay so maybe a rookie mistake. Maybe a glitch. Or maybe I’m just used to Android...

I’m used to Android - if you’re on Beta the updates come OTA, if it hasn’t hit your phone tapping “Update” almost always pulls it in.

So on iOS you have to download the newest beta profile every time? I guess it makes sense as an extra layer of security and also force the user to actively download it. Not bad - just different.

Anyway I’ve got it downloading now. I didn’t know there was a profile to download

Once you're on the beta profile then any new beta update will come OTA. But yes, in order to get on the beta track in the first place, you need to enroll your device.

Let us know what you think of the beta too!

I really liked 6, and 7 seems like even more refinement from what I’ve read. I’m looking forward to booting it up

I’ve yet to experience any glitches with the latest beta build and it is running smoothly on my iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I've had the issue with beta 6 and 7 that most 3rd party apps do not display notifications. I have reported it through the feedback app and it states that more than 10 have the same issue.

Other than that, seems to be pretty solid.

Noob question. If I install the Beta software will my device boot up as with a regular update or will I have to register every app I've installed? My bank app has a 2FA code generator built in, and if it's deactivated I'll have to physically go to a branch to get the activation code. And with the Covid thing I don't want to unnecessarily go to places I don't have to.
