Apple has released iOS 16 beta 7 for iPhone beta testers and iPadOS 16.1 beta 1 for iPad beta testers.

Usually, the developer beta version is released first, followed shortly by the public beta version using the same build.

The shift from iPadOS 16 beta 6 to iPadOS 16.1 beta is a result of Apple postponing the launch of iPadOS 16, which will now officially debut as iPadOS 16.1 later this fall.

Anyone currently participating in the beta testing program can download iOS 16 beta 7 or iPadOS 16.1 beta 1 directly on their iPhone or iPad by navigating to Settings > General > Software Update.

iOS 16 introduces a customizable lock screen with widgets that display information like weather and stock prices, enhanced Focus mode features that can adjust the lock screen appearance based on the selected Focus mode, the option to unsend emails and schedule email delivery in the Mail app, message editing capabilities in the Messages app, improved iCloud Photo Library functionality, and several other minor enhancements.

iPadOS 16.1 brings the new Stage Manager multitasking feature exclusively to M1-powered iPad models, while offering most of the same features found in iOS 16, excluding the ability to personalize the lock screen.

Although beta software is primarily intended for advanced users and developers, anyone with compatible devices can install these beta versions. The easiest way to do so is by installing the iOS 16 public beta on an iPhone or the iPadOS 16 public beta on an iPad.

Whether you plan to use the beta versions or wait for the official releases, you can check the list of iOS 16 supported iPhones and iPadOS 16 supported iPads to see if your device is eligible.

Apple has announced that iOS 16 will be available this fall, with expectations pointing to a release around the time of the upcoming iPhone 14 launch (rumored to be announced on September 7). On the other hand, Apple has indicated that iPadOS 16 (now known as iPadOS 16.1) will be finalized and made available later in the fall season.
