How to get the iOS 26 update.

Settings > General > Software Updates > Beta Updates > “iOS 26 Developer Beta”

Literally click that. Then update.

Nothing difficult.

Available for iPhone 11 and up.

Again: IT IS A DEVELOPER BETA SO IF YOUR DEVICE STOPS WORKING DO NOT BOTHER ME ABOUT IT.

THAT IS ON YOU!

... Read moreThe iOS 26 Developer Beta brings exciting new features and optimizations for iPhone users. Before diving into the update, ensure your device is running iPhone 11 or later to guarantee compatibility. The beta process allows adventurous users to test features that may not yet be available in the stable versions. When updating, it’s critical to back up your device through iCloud or a computer to prevent data loss in case of issues during installation. The settings to access the beta update involve navigating to Settings > General > Software Update. Here, you select 'Beta Updates' and then choose the 'iOS 26 Developer Beta' to start the installation. Being a developer beta, this version may contain bugs that could affect your device's performance, so always proceed with caution. For detailed guidance on the features of iOS 26 and possible bugs reported by other users, it's helpful to refer to Apple’s Beta Software Program page or the Developer Program resources. Engaging with the Apple community can also provide insights and tips on maximizing your iOS beta experience.

Beta is not worth it, this is coming from a person who has been doing it for years. Also if you have a beta software anywhere on your phone you will mot be able to trade it in to a carrier to get an upgraded phone
