4th Public Beta of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, Available for Testing
The fourth public beta version of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and MacOS Sequoia, is now available to beta testers. The 4th public beta builds match the 6th developer beta builds.
Beta system software is intended for advanced users and is generally a buggier experience with less than optimal performance, but anyone can install iOS 18 public beta on iPhone, iPadOS 18 public beta on iPad, or MacOS Sonoma public beta on a Mac if they’re curious about the upcoming operating systems.
How to Install iOS 18 Public Beta 4 & iPadOS 18 Public Beta 4

iOS 18 for iPhone and iPadOS 18 for iPad include various new features, including a new Calculator app for iPad, a dedicated Passwords app, new Dark Mode theme icons, the ability to color tint your icons and widgets, Game Mode for iPhone, the ability to customize Control Center, a confusingly redesigned Photos app that is still changing during the beta process, Apple Intelligence AI features for writing and summarizing, and many other little features and changes.
