Apple has almost completed the beta testing phase for iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. This means you can expect to get iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 by the end of this month or the next month. And to fill the gaps for non beta users, Apple has released the iOS 13.7 and iPadOS 13.7 to the public. Here you will know how to download iOS 13.7 for iPhones and iPadOS 13.7 for iPads.
Last week Apple pushed an unexpected iOS 13.7 Beta 1 which just looked like a GM version. But it was the Beta update as there are some changes in the public release. As we know iOS 14 is around the corner and so this update can be the last iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 update. The update is available to all the iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 supported apple devices. So if you are on any stable iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 then you can expect this update to drop on your device.
Apple has also released watchOS 7 Beta 7 along with iOS 13.7 and iPadOS 13.7 updates. The update size can vary according to the previous update on which your phone is currently running. iOS 13.7 comes with build version 17H35 compared to the beta which has 17H33 build version. The update doesn’t come with any modem firmware upgrade. Below you will know the new features and changes in the latest update.
iOS 13.7 – Changelog
“iOS 13.7 lets you opt-in to the COVID-19 Exposure Notifications system without the need to download an app. System availability depends on support from your local public health authority. For more information see covid19.apple.com/contacttracing. This release also includes other bug fixes for your iPhone.
Some features may not be available for all regions or on all Apple devices. For information on the security content of Apple software updates, please visit this website: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT201222”
The update has only one change which is Exposure Notification and now it is similar to what we have seen in the iOS 14 Beta. It makes sense that there are no other features as the iOS 14 Public release is not far. And everyone who is using iOS 13 will be able to experience iOS 14 on their devices.
There is no new feature in the iPadOS 13.7, it only comes with improvements and bug fixes.
iPadOS 13.7 – Changelog
“iPadOS 13.7 includes bug fixes for your iPad.
Some features may not be available for all regions or on all Apple devices. For information on the security content of Apple software updates, please visit this website: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT201222”
Download & Install iOS 13.7 and iPadOS 13.7
The download and install process is very simple if you are on a stable public release like iOS 13.6.1. You have to just use the Software Update page in Settings to get the latest update. But users who are on the Beta update will have to remove the beta profile as you may not receive the public build on your Apple device over the air. You always have an option to update your device manually if you know the process. But that makes it difficult for an average user, so here I will share a guide to remove the beta profile and get the latest stable iOS 13.7 or iPadOS 13.7.
Note: Removing the beta profile will stop the further beta updates. And to get Beta updates again, you need to reinstall the Beta profile.
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.
Now Beta profile is removed from your device. And you can install a stable public release on your Apple device.
To download and install iOS 13.7 on iPhone or iPadOS 13.7 on iPad go to Settings > General. Then tap on the Software Update option. It will display the latest public release update. In this case, it will show iOS 13.7 or iPadOS 13.7 update. Tap on Download and Install and wait for the process.
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.
In case if you are on the iOS 14 beta and want to downgrade to iOS 13 then you can check this guide.
