How to Turn Off Beta Updates on iPhone

If you’ve enrolled in the Apple Beta Program, you may be receiving beta updates on your iPhone. There are two ways to join the Beta Program: through the Public Beta or the Developer Beta. The Public Beta is free, while the Developer Beta requires an annual fee. Once enrolled in either program, your iPhone will automatically receive beta updates.

Issues with iPhone Beta Updates
While beta updates let you test new features before their official release, they often come with drawbacks. Beta versions are typically unfinished, which means they can contain bugs and glitches. These issues may lead to problems such as:

– Faster battery drain
– Poor network reception
– Occasional lags and glitches
– Overheating

How to Turn Off Beta Updates on iPhone
If you no longer want to receive beta updates, you can easily turn them off through the iPhone’s Settings without having to fully unenroll from the Apple Beta Software Program. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Tap General.
3. Select Software Update.
4. Tap Beta Updates.
5. Choose Off to disable beta updates.

Once disabled, your iPhone will download and install the stable iOS version.

How to Leave the Apple Beta Software Program
If you want to completely stop receiving beta updates, you’ll need to unenroll your device. After turning off beta updates in your settings, visit the official [Apple Beta Software Program website](https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/) to leave the program.

After leaving the program:
– You will stop receiving beta-related emails.
– You can no longer submit feedback via the Feedback Assistant.
– Beta updates will no longer appear in your iPhone’s Software Update section.

Keep in mind, when the next public version of iOS is released, you will need to install it manually through the Software Update option. Learn More
