Last week Apple released the iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1 Release Candidate build to developers and beta testers. The update was released on the same day as Apple unleashed event. And after the event, the public release date was officially made available. As we all expected the iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1 updates are now available to the public today.
Last week Apple also released a second release candidate for iPadOS 15.1 for the iPad mini 6. Yes it was only released for one iPad. As you know Apple releases these updates on critical issues, the second RC also serves the same purpose. If you are on iOS 15 public build then you might be waiting for the public update to get rid of the existing bugs. Even the iPhone 13 model has some bugs that will be fixed in this update.
Along with iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1, Apple also released watchOS 8.1, macOS 12.0.1, and tvOS 15.1. Both iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1 come with build number 19B74. For iPad Mini 6 it comes with version 19B75. These build numbers are same as the Release Candidate which also poses as stable for beta testers. The update size may vary as per models. Below you can check the full changelog.

iOS 15.1 and iPadOS 15.1
The update is now available to the public. And if you are on any iOS public release build, you will receive the update on your eligible device. To manually check for the update go to Settings > Software Update. And once it shows the new update click on Download and Install button to get the update.
In case you are on a beta build and want to switch to the stable iOS 15.1 or iPadOS 15.1, then you can do so by removing the beta profile from your iPhone or iPad. Removing the profile is easy and it will not push any beta update until you reinstall the beta profile. Let’s see the process.
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.
And if your iPhone/iPad running a higher version (iOS 15 Beta), then you need to downgrade your Apple device. But it will remove all data from your iPhone. So, we don’t recommend downgrade unless you want to Jailbreak iPhone or iPad.
