Two days after releasing the second developer betas of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra for testing, Apple today is launching its public beta program for the forthcoming updates, allowing a broader cross section of users to test out the new features and report bugs to Apple (via The Verge and CNET).

Update: Public betas of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra are now available.


Users interested in testing out iOS 10 and macOS Sierra should visit Apple's Beta Software Program website for more details and to register for the program. There is no charge for participating in the public beta program, but Apple strongly recommends users install the betas on secondary devices as bugs and other issues can cause problems for users during the testing process.


As the public beta marks the first opportunity for many users to try out the new operating systems, make sure to check out our iOS 10 and macOS Sierra roundups for summaries of the changes and new features and discuss with others in our iOS 10 and macOS Sierra forums.

If this is true I will gladly admit I was wrong. But I would be very hesitant to install beta 2 on a primary device, especially if you don't know what you are doing incase something goes wrong. With that being said. I will be waiting for DP3/PB2 to install on my primary device. I installed beta 2 on my air 2 and wasn't too pleased.
 
iOS 10 public beta seems to be unavailable in Germany, it says "Bald verfügbar" ("available soon") ...
 
I enrolled in the iOS 9 public beta program. Was my enrollment just for iOS9 and do I have to re-enroll or will I get the iOS 10 public beta without having to contact Apple?
