Some iPhone customers are experiencing issues because of the iOS 16 beta. While some of the problems are small, others are far more serious.
The iOS 16 developer beta is now available. It should arrive this month for anyone signed up for Apple’s beta software programme. A firm date has not been announced by the company, and it’s possible that we won’t.
We are receiving input from iPhone customers who have updated their devices to iOS 16 since the iOS 16 beta went available.
There are a number of issues with the iOS 16 beta. Given that it’s incomplete software and Apple’s pre-release software is frequently rife with bugs and performance problems, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
Before you sign up and download the iOS 16 beta, you should be aware of what you’re getting into if you’re considering it. Additionally, those of you utilising the beta must be aware of where to look for fixes and continuous criticism of the beta’s functionality.
We’ll walk you through the iOS 16 beta issues as they are right now in this guide. Additionally, we’ll give you a list of resources that may be useful if you decide to download the beta and encounter bugs or other problems.
