Apple unveiled iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 at WWDC 2021 with a number of enhancements to FaceTime, Photos, Maps, and more, along with some exciting new features like SharePlay.
The first iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 public betas became available and we'll walk you through how to install them to be among the first to check out the latest features before Apple's official release in the fall (via The Verge).
Still, keep in mind that this is still beta software which means they are not as stable as a final shipping build of the operating system and can cause some issues for your device.
Ideally, these should be installed on a secondary device, but if you don't have any mission-critical third-party apps and are willing to deal with some instability, then checking out the new features may be worth the risk. Just make sure to create a backup prior to installing the beta to ensure that your data is safe.
