Previous advice
Before you rush, keep a few things in mind:
- Just in case, make a backup from your devices, in iTunes or in iCloud, but do it.
- Keep in mind that it is a test version and, although it is quite stable, it still contains bugs that you may not be able to deal with therefore, if possible install on a secondary device.
If you have already installed iOS 11 Beta 1…
For those users who have already ventured to install the first beta of iOS 11 without being developers, you simply have to follow the following steps:
- Reinstall the iOS beta software profile by clicking at this link.
- Press the option “iOS 11 (Updated) and install the updated iOS 11 beta profile.
- You will be asked to restart your iOS device. Hit the reboot option and let the reboot complete.
- After restarting your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app and go to General -> Software update and there you will see the beta 2 of iOS 11. Click "Download and install" and go ahead !!
If this is the first time you are going to install an iOS 11 beta ...
As the saying goes, “there is a first time for everything”. If this is your case, simply follow the steps below and you will not be enjoying all the news in iOS 11 before the neighbor.
- Step 1. From the iPhone or iPad that you want to update to iOS 11 now, visit this link, making sure that you open it directly in the Safari browser, not in any other application or in any other browser.
- Step 2. Next, you will be automatically redirected to “iOS Beta Software Profile”, let's go to the profile of the beta versions of iOS 11. At this time you should be careful because you will have to press "Install" three times, and then select the option to restart your terminal.
- Step 3. Once your iPhone or iPad has restarted, unlock it, open the Settings app and go to the General section -> Software update. If everything has gone well (surely it has), you will see that the beta 2 of iOS 11 is now available for download and installation via OTA from the device itself. If the update doesn't appear, wait a few minutes and try again. What's not coming out yet? WTF! Restart the device again and you will see how this time it does.
The process is similar to any other update official or public beta program so when it's finished, just stick to enjoying the new features in iOS 11.
