As with former times, there will be a public beta test for those keen to trial iOS 16 ahead of release latterly this time, though it’s not available just yet. Apple teased a vague July release for the public beta, and if former times are to go by, it ’ll probably be around the morning of the month.

The pitfalls of installing beta software
Before we explain how to download beta performances of iOS on your iPhone, we need to first explain the situation with beta software. For those ignorant, betas are untreated, and that means you ’ll likely run into bugs, glitches and indeed crashes that leave you locked out of colourful areas of your smartphone.
In other words, don’t anticipate the iOS 16 beta to be as stable as Apple’s current software. That can be true not only of the iPhone software itself, but the apps you ’ve got installed – some may work impeccably in iOS 15, but crash upon opening in iOS 16.
Still, we can’t stress how important it's to back up your iPhone using an archived backup previous to the upgrade, if you do decide to take the plunge. Without an archived backup, you won’t be suitable to restore from a backup if you decide to go back to iOS 15, due to Apple not supporting restore data from newer software updates. Basically, if you back up your iPhone running iOS 16, you won’t be suitable to restore from that backup if you want to go back to iOS 15.
To library a backup, open iTunes (or Finder in macOS Big Sur), and click Preferences> Devices. You ’ll also see a list of all your backups – right- click your most recent backup and elect Archive to save it from being overwritten.
