- Apple has released the first public betas of its operating systems this year
- In addition to iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15 Sequoia and watchOS 11 are also available
- Anyone can download them after signing up for the beta program
A month after Apple presented new versions of its operating systems at this year’s developer conference WWDC 2024, we waited. Last night, after three developer betas so far, he finally released the first public beta. He informed o tom server MacRumors.
Installing iOS 18 is a breeze
The content of the first public beta is identical to the third developer beta. It is enough to try it register into Apple’s beta testing program. After that, just open the Settings app. Under General, click Software Update and select an option iOS 18 Public Beta. Analogously, it is possible to install public betas in u iPadOS 18, macOS 15 Sequoia a watchOS 11.
In any case, remember that none of the operating systems are ready yet. Beta versions may contain various bugs, battery issues, and other complications. We therefore recommend installing the software on a secondary device or creating a backup in case you need to downgrade back to a previous stable version of the operating system.

Don’t expect Apple Intelligence
The main attraction of iOS 18 is without a doubt Apple Intelligence, which are artificial intelligence functions deeply integrated into the operating system. Apple Intelligence or the new completely redesigned Siri however, they are not yet active in beta versions.
The manufacturer plans to release the AI functions probably only with the final version, probably in September, and the new Siri appears not even until next spring as part of the iOS 18.4 update. In addition, even after its release, Apple Intelligence will not be available in the EU and from existing devices, at least for now he will support just a small handful. For example, from older phones it only gets to iPhone 15 Pro.
