iOS 15.6 Beta 5 and iPadOS 15.6 Beta 5 are now available

Apple seeds new betas of iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6 for developers and will soon be available to public beta testers if not already available. Apple released the fourth beta last week with some bug fixes. Well some of us expected the release candidate build next, but the beta 5 update doesn’t surprise us either.

Apple is also testing the iOS 16 beta along with the iOS 15.6 beta and this week we are expecting a new beta of iOS 16 as well. And since iOS 16 is a major update, the new iOS 15.6 beta is unlikely to get new features.

Apart from iOS 15.6 Beta 5 and iPadOS 15.6 Beta 5, Apple also released watchOS 8.7 Beta 5, macOS Monterey 12.5 Beta 5, and tvOS 15.6 Beta 5. Both iOS 15.6 Beta 5 and iPadOS 15.6 Beta 5 come with build number 19G5063a. As per the build number, the next update could be the release candidate followed by a public release.

As mentioned earlier, it won’t be a surprise if you don’t see any noticeable changes as the update is already near the public release. However, there will be bug fixes and improvements just like what we got in the fourth beta update.

The latest iOS 15.6 Beta 5 and iPadOS 15.6 Beta 5 update is available to developers. So if you have installed the beta profile, you must have already received the update. For public beta testers, it will go live soon, it might be already live by the time you read it.

To manually check for the update go to Settings > General > Software Update. And in the software update page, tap on Download and Install button.

In case you are on a public build you need to install the beta profile on your iPhone.
