Today Apple unveiled iPadOS 27, its next major software version for iPad, and now developer beta 1 has just been released for testing.
Following its WWDC keynote, Apple has now released the first beta versions of its just-unveiled new software updates.
iPadOS 27 developer beta 1 is available now.
iPad users who are willing to risk bugs and performance issues can go to Settings ⇾ General ⇾ Software Update to install the beta software. Just make sure the iPadOS 27 developer beta is selected under ‘Beta Updates.’
As with all beta software, it is not recommended that you install iPadOS 27 on your primary device.
That said, if you’re interested in testing out the latest iPad features long before their public launch this fall, today’s iPadOS 27 beta is the way to do that.
If you’re okay holding off a while for a more stable beta, Apple will release the first iPadOS 27 public beta next month—likely in early July.
Typically the first public beta is a much safer, more stable build than Apple’s first developer releases.
