Switch from iOS26 Beta to iOS upgrade

[Fatyank]

I’ve been using iOS26 beta on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple Watch Ultra 1st Gen and iPad Pro 6th Gen since first available. I’ve had no problems. My question is how do I transfer to iOS26 from iOS 26 beta when it becomes available on the 15th? Do i just turn off Beta testing downloads?

Yes you just turn off Beta updates in the Settings app and you will only get official releases from then on.
Today's Release Candidate build will most likely be exactly the same build as the official release barring a major last minute bug or security fix.

Wow, quick response. Thank you. I assume the “official” release will show up on my devices as “update available”?

From my experience - only if the 'official' release is different from the release candidate. Otherwise, you won't be prompted to download a new release until an update to the 'official' release is available.
