After signing up for the Beta, users will want to head to Settings – General – Software Update. Once in Software Update, there should be a button right up front and center that will prompt the device to check for new software. If you're not already on the newest version of iOS, your iPhone or iPad will tell you you're ready to download that update.

Download the update from the Software Update page and plug your iPhone or iPad in to load the update. Don't be surprised if it takes a few minutes, but if it takes more than 15, you might want to call Apple for help. Because that just ain't right.

If you'd like to update using iTunes software on your desktop computer, you'll want to open iTunes first. Once iTunes is open on your desktop computer, you'll want to plug your iPhone or iPad in with a USB cord. Your device should appear in iTunes once you've plugged it in.

Select Device in iTunes and select the device you've plugged in. Click Summary – Check for Update – Download – Update. From there, you'll likely be asked for your Apple password, and your download should begin. Have a peek at the timeline below for additional insight on this update, and have a nice day!
