Apple Officially Releases Second iOS 11 Public Beta

Apple has officially seeded iOS 11 public beta 2 to members of Apple’s Beta Software Program.  iOS 11 is a major update to the iPhone and iPad’s software. It features a redesigned Control Center, supports peer-to-peer Apple Pay payments in Messages, adds a dedicated Files app, and a host of other significant upgrades.

iOS 11 is also the largest update to the iPad version of iOS, with a new macOS-inspired dock, improved App Switching and Apple Pencil support, the Files app, as well as systemwide drag-and-drop and enhanced multitasking abilities — all of which make iPad on iOS 11 even closer to a powerful notebook replacement.

iOS 11 also features smaller — but no less useful — updates, like baked-in screen recording, automatic call answering, enhancements to Siri, Camera and Photos, and a Do Not Disturb While Driving feature. Notably, it also marks the debut of ARKit, an augmented reality toolset for developers that, in the words of Apple, turns iOS into the “largest AR platform in the world.” And, despite iOS 11’s official debut is still a few months off, its powerful potential is already being demonstrated by developers.

How to Install iOS 11 Public Beta 2

As with all software beta versions, it’s wise to exercise caution. As we saw with the iOS 11 developer beta, test software can be extremely buggy. It might be smart to hold off on downloading the second public beta on your primary iOS device, or at the very least, ensure that you backup your device to iTunes or iCloud before proceeding.

To download the public beta, you’ll need to sign up and enroll your device in Apple’s Beta Software Program — which you can do via Apple’s website or learn how to install the iOS 11 public beta here. If you’d rather wait for the final version, iOS 11 is slated for a general rollout in the fall.
