The iOS 14.1 and iPadOS 14.1 updates are available to all the supported iPhones and iPads released since iPhones 6S. You can install the update right away on your phone. Go to Settings > General. Then tap on the Software Update option. In this case, it will show iOS 14.1 or iPadOS 14.1 update. Tap on Download and Install and wait for the process.
If you are already on the iOS 14.1 GM edition then you don’t need to update as it is similar to the iOS 14.1 public release. But if you want to install the public build then first you need to remove the beta profile from your device. And you can find the guide below to remove beta profiles from iPhones and iPads.
How to Remove Beta Profile from iPhone and iPad
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Go to General and then Profile.
- Now it will show the Beta profile installed on your iPhone or iPad.
- Click on the available beta profile.
- Then click on the Remove Profile button.
- If it asks for the passcode, then enter your device passcode and click the Remove button.
After removing the beta profile you can follow the standard process to update i.e. Settings > General > Software Update.
After reboot, you can use your Apple device with the latest iOS or iPadOS update.
You can also install the updates manually with iTunes or Finder. You can use IPSW files if you are planning to install it through your computer.
