Happening to me on the PB but meh that’s the risk you take installing a beta. Had way worse occurrences in the past with betas.
Got a tip for us?

I get the message every time I wake it up. Every. Time.
Time to stop using the phone so much, I guess....
Probably some people who shouldn’t have been on the beta to begin with this pop up always happen before the gold master

You’re not supposed to do that it’s will dam
Well, I mean you can be annoyed by it. You just cant be all to surprised or upset.
Do we all have the same experience? Started an hour or three ago and now appears every time the phone is awoken from sleep?
Yes, the build is nearing expiration, and is expecting a new one to be available
Is this really the Beta experience you'd expect a few weeks before release? It's like Beta 9.
First few Betas? Yeah, I get it. Public Beta this close to release? No, not the experience I'd expect.
Also, Apple markets this as a PUBLIC beta. They know lots and lots of users are going to download to the daily driver.
A wonky animation here or there or something like that? Fine. Expected. This kind of bug? No. Shouldn't happen on something marketed to the public, Beta or not.

I advise anyone- NOT TO DO THIS!
It will royally **** up any message/iCloud syncing something fierce.
Don’t do it.
Yep, everyone is the same. It expired at 8pm EST and any unlock or use of the notifications panel checks for expiry.
Ahh...Lol. Who's the idiot at Apple that made the typo?
It isn’t really a software bug as such. They just set the internal expiry date too early.
Edit: See you replied to the prior post. Yep, someone is wearing the Dunce hat for a week!
I’m getting the annoying popup also. Funny thing, it started today. The day this article was posted. Coincidence?
I kinda like it actually
iPhone and iPad users who have installed the current iOS 12 beta are being plagued with a continual popup that suggests a new iOS update is available when it's not.
Affected users are seeing the following message: "A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 12 beta." The problem is users receiving this message are running the most recent version of iOS and there is no additional software to update to.
Beta testers have been seeing this popup since the latest beta was released on August 27, but over the course of the last day, the popups have become much more frequent.
Many users are now seeing the popup every time an iPhone or iPad running the beta is unlocked, and it is a popup that must be manually dismissed each and every time before an iOS device can be accessed.
Developer Guilherme Rambo has suggested that an error in the latest update causes the iOS beta to think that its expiration date is imminent, leading to the popup problem.
Complaints on Twitter and the MacRumors forums are picking up from users who are frustrated with having to continually dismiss the popup, and it's not clear when a fix will be available.

funny all these annoying comments when it takes less than a second to get rid of it when ur phone is unlocked.. u guys make it seem like it’s popping up every two seconds or some crap..
Yeah, but being a Richard to people who are venting in throws of a really obnoxious situation is close to as annoying as the "bug." CLOSE to. By this much...

Can you post Apple's response? Hopefully not a middle finger emoji...
Ok. So it's not just me. I kept thinking it was an update that hadn’t populated yet, but then that didn’t make sense.
It hasn’t affected anything though. Just a little annoying when I kept looking for something that wasn’t there. Now I know, so I’ll ignore it for now.

I definitely thought it was just me I had been checking constantly all day for update. Thanks for posting this. I’ll wait for apple to fix it with an update hopefully we won’t have to wait till next week as this is very annoying bug

Just so you all know it also effects one of my devices which has 11.4.1 on it. It was previously set up with 11.4.1 beta and then set back to regular iOS and had the beta profile removed. But yes it says the same as this thread with the exception of 11.4.1 rather than 12.
Me thinks this is a server problem at Apple’s end. They probably send messages out to all beta registered devices, regardless of the iOS version installed.

I think it's built into the OS and there is no way to stop other than to:
- Roll back the date or
- Perhaps roll back to an earlier iOS 12 Beta?
I removed the beta profile and that did not fix it. I reinstalled the profile from the apple beta site and I am still having the issue. Definitely a bug that apple will squash quickly, until then a small issue to deal with while helping apple develope better software.
