Part 2: Tips Before Installing iOS 17 Beta

Now that you know what phones are getting iOS 17, it’s time to talk about some important things you must know before updating to iOS 17 Beta.

Let’s get right in.

• Backup your data: iOS 17 beta can be buggy and unstable. Especially the first few betas are likely to be very buggy and might break system functionality. So, if something goes wrong and you have to reset/restore your iPhone, you may lose your important data. So, it’s advised to take a backup of your data before updating.

  You can back up your data to computer using iTunes or iCareFone (free to back up).

• New features may not work properly: If you’re installing the beta to try out all the new features, you might want to wait a bit longer. In the developer beta 1 of iOS 17, many new features don’t work properly. For example, you can set a contact poster for your contact, but no one will see it when you call them. Furthermore, features like Name Drop and improved AirDrop aren’t available at all yet.

• Make sure to have enough storage space: You need at least 8GB of storage space to install iOS 17 developer beta 1. Furthermore, after the update has been installed, the system may take additional storage space to keep beta files inside your system. So, it’s advised to have at least 30GB of space available on your iPhone.

• Charge your iPhone: Normally, you need at least 20% battery to install an iOS update. However, since iOS 17 is still in its first beta, it’s advised to have at least 50% charge available on your iPhone. This can prevent any unpredicted problems like bootloop.
