I've Tried Making My iPad an Almost Mac With iPadOS 26 Beta

JUL 24 – Public testers can try new features and design updates in Apple’s latest software betas, released after four developer cycles to collect user feedback before final launch.

  • Following four developer beta cycles, Apple released the first public betas for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26 this year.
  • By expanding its tester base, Apple opened the betas publicly, prompting further tweaks to transparency and icon colours based on testers’ input.
  • First-Time testers must sign up on the Apple beta website, then enable beta updates in Settings, and use System Settings on Apple TV or the Watch app on Apple Watch.
  • Some testers found the key-scanning app fails on the beta, users relying on one device are advised against installation, and the software may introduce glitches during testing.
  • Adopting a numbering scheme ending in 26, Apple will release final versions later this year, inspired by the car industry.
