We show you the process to download, install and run iPadOS 18 on your iPad
Apple’s WWDC24 live broadcast left us with many surprises. Lots of new AI features, major design improvements in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, the first major update to the Apple Vision Pro operating system, and a host of other details. We’ll tell you everything you need to know, but first…
Now that iPadOS 18 is now available, we will explain in detail how to download and install iPadOS 18 beta on your iPad provided that it is one of the iPad models compatible with iPadOS 18. Shall we start?
How to install iPadOS 18 beta
As many of you already know, Apple has changed the procedure for installing beta software updates on your iPhone and iPad. It’s now easier than ever! All you have to do to install iPadOS 18 is navigate to the Settings menus and update your iPad.
Of course, remember that this is a beta update. In other words, this is not the final version and it still requires many stability improvements. Therefore, it is very likely that if you install this iPadOS 18 beta, you will encounter errors and incompatibility issues. Especially in the case of applications that require adaptation to the iPadOS 18 infrastructure.
Therefore, we invite you to install the iPadOS 18 beta at your own risk. On the other hand, its installation will allow you to try all the new software update features before anyone else. So you decide. That said, follow these steps to install the iPadOS 18 beta on your iPad.
- First, make sure you have an iPad model compatible with iPadOS 18.
- Then backup your iPad from Settings > Your Name > iCloud > Back up to iCloud > Back up now.
- Now, from your iPad, enter Settings > General > Software Update.
- Click on Beta updates and select iPadOS 18 public beta.
- When you come back, you will now be able to install the new software update on your iPad.
“As a member of the Apple Beta Software Program, you will have the opportunity to list your devices for access to public betas and try out the latest features.”
We recommend that you wait a few hours before downloading the software update. During the first hours of its launch, Apple’s servers are likely to be down and the download of iPadOS 18 will be very slow.
