\t\"iOS<\/p>\n

Following iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 beta 8 earlier today, Apple has released the fifth iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 public betas.<\/p>\n

iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 public beta <\/strong>5<\/p>\n

For iPhone and iPad users on the public beta train, simply go to the Settings app > General section > Software Update to look for the over-the-air updates to iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 public beta 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fifth public beta release follows the eight developer beta release of the pre-release software. Apple is expected to release the final versions of the iOS 26.0 and iPadOS 26.0 next month. We\u2019ll likely see iOS 26.0.1 and maybe even an iOS 26.1 developer beta around the same time.<\/p>\n

iOS 26 public beta 5 should mirror what we see in iOS 26 developer beta 8. This will likely be the final public beta release<\/a> before the final version arrives in mid-September.<\/p>\n

Curious about trying iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 public beta on your iPhone and iPad? You can go to beta.apple.com<\/a> to sign up today. It\u2019s free to sign up, and joining the public beta should automatically put the option to update in the Software Update section of the Settings app on your device.<\/p>\n
