Apple has launched the eighth beta of iOS 16 ahead of its final version, which is expected to happen soon after the Apple event on September 7th. Those who are subscribed to the beta program can check this out by browsing General > Software update menu on your iPhone’s Settings app.
If you are not enrolled in the iOS 16 beta program and cannot wait a few more weeks for the public release, you can go here for more details on how to join the beta program. But remember that beta builds often have bugs that hinder the user experience, so it’s best to avoid them on primary devices.
iOS 16 beta 8 – with build number 20A5358a – comes with bug fixes, performance improvements and some optimizations that bring it even closer to the public release, so we suggest you wait for the final release as it’s not too far off.
iOS 16 offers a new lock screen, notifications, and the ability to unsubscribe from a recently sent message or edit it after it has been sent. One of the iOS 16 betas also reported the battery percentage on the status bar. You can read our iOS 16 announcement coverage here to learn more.
