Having held out on iOS10 til three days ago, I'm so used to seeing this message I don't even notice dismissing it.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 12 Users Running Current Beta Plagued With Popup Prompting an Update

You make it sound like this is a huge issue and causing major breaks. I’d take someone putting the wrong date or not a long enough window to upgrade over wonky animations and other issues any day of the week.
If anything a message stating to upgrade, likely due to a low threshold being applied to the releases life, is exactly the sort of bug I’d expect to pop up in a build that’s a fortnight out from a gold master.
Apple isn't open on Fridays?
My tech company employees 1k people and we have people working every hour of every day to make sure our websites are up and bugs are fixed. I'm fairly certain Apple doesn't lock the doors on weekends and holidays.
I've had this issue all day. Damn it! I submitted feedback on the feedback app. I hope everyone else is too. Otherwise there won't be a fix anytime soon.
I assume this is affecting everyone at Apple.
I can imagine Tim Cook cursing at his phone as he curses out whoever in marketing let those XS materials out.
Not a great day in Cupertino!

iOS beta 13 coming 2morrow, 10 more beta releases before 12th of September lol
Oh my flip every time I unlock my phone it pops up.
Life could be way worse though! If that's the worst thing that happens today it's a good day!

Here's theoretically how to remove it: https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/unenroll
I thought it worked, but now it's come back!

Didn't work for me either! Now I don't have a Beta profile, so if they fix the Beta I won't get the update?
Update from 12 beta 8 to 12 beta 9, that is the fix
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.

If it is just due to the expiration date of the beta, they could easy have it fixed tomorrow with a small update.
It’s an update that goes hand in hand with screen time to encourage you to pick up your phone less!
Omg stop trying to be cool we know it’s a beta we just letting the people know so they fix it fastWow a bug in a Beta Software version, how shocking
Your company isn’t Apple and your company almost certainly isn’t a professional iOS beta updating firm either.
Because Tim Cook and his beta devs hang out on these forums at night? Which people are you letting know by posting here?
Those who keep saying 'ohh it's a beta, what do you expect' this is the largest number of betas apple has either even had or had recently. This is an alpha level mistake. So get off your high horses. As someone who does programming, that kind of mistake is really lazy.
Exactly. This shouldn’t have been a post period. If you’re running the BETA do what you’re supposed to and submit the feedback and hold tight until the fix. (Yes Apple checks those and responds) If you can’t handle the slight inconvenience of a little bug then get out of the program.
We all know this was a post to generate page views and traffic. This will probably be picked up by some other site and something tiny will snowball into an “iOS 12 is doomed” scenario until the fix.
