The eighth beta of iOS 16 has been released by Apple in advance of the software's anticipated September 7 announcement. Those who have signed up for the beta programme can check for it by opening the Settings app on their iPhone and going to the General > Software Update menu.
If you want more information on how to sign up for the iOS 16 beta programme and can't wait a few more weeks till the public release, go to this page. But keep in mind that beta builds frequently have flaws that degrade the user experience; it is therefore better to avoid using them on primary devices.
We recommend you to wait for the final release since it won't be long since the iOS 16 beta 8 with build number 20A5358a has bug patches, performance enhancements, and other optimizations that get it closer to the public release.
A revamped lock screen, notifications, and the ability to edit or cancel a recently sent message are all included in iOS 16. The battery % was also reinstated in the status bar of an iOS 16 beta. To learn more, check our coverage of the iOS 16 announcement here.
