Apple today seeded the fourth betas of upcoming iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the new software coming one week following the release of the third betas.

Developers can download iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 through the Apple Developer Center or over the air after the proper profile has been installed on an iPhone or iPad.

iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 are minor updates compared to prior iOS 15 point releases, and there are a limited number of changes. Apple may be releasing an Apple Classical app at some point in the near future and there are references to it in the beta, but it is not yet available. Apple is using the iOS 15.5 update to lay the groundwork for functionality that will let developers of "reader" apps add a link to an external website for the purpose of signing up for and managing accounts outside of the App Store.

There are also minor changes to Apple Pay Cash, with Apple adding Request and Send options, and Apple is making some changes to the iTunes Pass that used to be available in the Wallet app. We have a complete list of changes in our iOS 15.5 guide.

Did you enroll in the beta program and test it, instead of just complaining if it’s not working? Try and be a part of the solution, instead of complaining/being part of the problem 🙄
So your recommendation for someone that complains about a stable OS is to install a beta? What if it’s their only phone? What happens if the update breaks more things? Do you realize how big a pain it is to go from a beta back to a stable version?

Maybe try not to discredit peoples experiences while giving them the worst possible advice ever.

Been using Mac’s since 84 and you make the assumption I’m using beta on one device. Apple engineering employee from 89 to 2011.

Only one device is a valid reason to not be part of the beta. Fair enough, but at least show you reported the problem etc, maybe ask friends to help out? Does the individual know anyone with multiple devices? Etc.

I didn’t assume anything, I was just asking if you’ve used the beta to test to see if it was fixed and if you’ve actually reported the problem. I apologize for the tone, just tired of people complaining and not trying to offer a solution (by helping to test and reporting, based on the comment/complaint I inferred that not the case)

It’s not your business to patrol this forum.
