Backup Your iPhone Data Before Downloading iOS 16
Prior to proceeding with the installation process detailed below, consider two crucial points. First, if feasible, use a secondary iPhone or iPad as beta builds may contain disruptive bugs. Second, ensure you back up your iPhone data to the cloud to recover it in case of update failure. You can do this in two ways:
- Method 1: Back up Data from iPhone Settings
Apple offers a straightforward method to back up your data to iCloud from the iPhone where you intend to install the iOS 16 public beta. Follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings -> your profile (Apple ID) -> iCloud.
