Install iOS beta warning
Usually Mr. Crazy does not recommend that ordinary users upgrade the iOS 16 beta version rashly. After all, the iOS beta version will contain a lot of bugs, power consumption, flashbacks, and other unknown and unstable factors.
And the main purpose of the test version is to provide developers with a test environment for developing apps. Don’t think of it as a very stable official version without any problems, such as APP flashback, restart, abnormal function, abnormal function and other problems. It’s normal, unless you just have an idle device that can be used for testing, maybe you can install it and play.
If you are worried about such problems, it is recommended that ordinary users can wait until the official version of iOS 16 is launched in the fall of September before upgrading.
