If you’ve been eagerly awaiting the iOS 17 public beta since last month, your wait is over. The iOS 17 Public Beta is now available for eligible iPhones and it doesn’t require a developer account. It is less risky than the developer betas. Previously, the beta was exclusively available to developers. Let’s delve into more details about the iOS 17 Public Beta.
Apple follows a consistent process with every release of a new iOS version. First comes the announcement which is followed by the iOS developer beta. And after about a month, the company introduces the beta for everyone (as a public beta) who wants to test iOS before the public release.
Apple released public beta updates of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, macOS 14, and tvOS 17. The first iOS 17 Public Beta carries the build number 21A5277j which is also the same as the iPadOS 17 Public Beta and third developer betas which was released a day ago. Since this is the first public beta, this weighs a lot more than incremental beta builds.
As you know Apple has already released three developer betas (four including the Beta 3 re-release), and the public beta includes everything that has been released in all four developer betas. This includes all the features and improvements in stability. This means if you join the iOS 17 beta now, you don’t have to deal with all the bugs that were present in the first two developer betas.

If you waited for a whole month to try the iOS 17 beta, it may be because you didn’t want to deal with bugs or didn’t want to join the developer program. And as finally the public beta is here, you can install it on your iPhone with ease. All you need is to choose the iOS 17 public beta under software update and you will be able to download the update. After installing the public beta you will receive upcoming beta builds over the air.
