If you are the one who always wants to be the first to try out all the upcoming features, then here is the new version of iOS: iOS 12.1 beta 3. As iOS 12.1 is still in beta testing, this beta testing will continue for the addition of new features and refinements. iOS has reintroduced Group FaceTime, fixed bugs, added emojis, eSIM support, and includes a number of features.

If you want to upgrade your old iOS version to the new iOS version 12.1 beta 3, check out all its new features earlier than everyone else. Both developers and non-developer can enjoy this. But, it is relatively easy to try out the latest iOS version for the developers who have registered developer account. But, if you don’t have a developer account, then you can try the public beta.

Developers can download the new iOS version or add the beta profile into their iOS device from “developer.apple.com.” And, non-developer can head to “beta.apple.com” to download the new iOS version public beta test.

Before going ahead, make sure to create a backup of your iOS device to be ready for unexpected hazards or if something goes erroneous. You can use both iTunes and iCloud to create a backup.
