Apple today seeded the fourth betas of upcoming iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 updates to developers for testing purposes, with software coming a week after the third iOS and iPadOS 17.6 betas were released.

Registered developers are able to opt into the betas by opening up the Settings app, going to the Software Update section, tapping on the "Beta Updates" option, and toggling on the iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 Developer Beta. An Apple ID associated with a developer account is required to download and install the beta.

The features Apple promised for iOS 17 have all been implemented, so it is not clear what will be included in iOS 17.6, and no major new additions have been discovered in the betas so far.

With Apple focusing on iOS 18, it is likely that iOS 17.6 will include bug fixes and other under-the-hood improvements.

Wow, after these really bad news from beta 4 i should even consider not installing the final release at once. Better wait for the comments of the early adopters. This should not happen at beta 4(!) :/

17.6 is smooth as silk here (iPhone 15 Pro). Any showstoppers for iOS18? Like apps that don't work?

Honestly, no. I remember that being an impediment in betas of the past, but not for me on this one. Every third-party app I’ve used on my phone have worked; no crashing here.

As we wind up 17.6 which is almost there and 18.x is now PB now this question will be asked a lot.
