Apple is far from done with iOS 14 subversions. Developers can move on to the next beta release. iOS 14.7 will be a medium-sized update, as can be deduced from the fact that this is a 14.x update.

iOS 14.7 and iPadOS 14.7 beta download for developers and public testers
Developers can download the beta from Apple's developer website. There you will find the correct beta profile to install on your iPhone. There are usually two ways to install the update. You can download the correct beta profile and install the beta over-the-air or switch immediately if you already have the profile. Another way is to download the so-called Restore Image and then transfer it to your iPhone via the Finder on the Mac or iTunes on Windows.
The public betas of iOS 14.7 and iPadOS 14.7 will also be available soon. Installing the public beta of iOS requires that you have the correct beta profile and are signed up for Apple's beta program.
Please note : these betas are only intended for developers and public testers and are not suitable for use on devices that you need every day.

About iOS 14.7
iOS 14.7 is already the seventh additional update for the iPhone and iPod touch from iOS 14. Usually, such interim updates bring a number of new functions. If you want to know more about what's new in iOS 14, read our overview of the most important functions. We expect the update to support the paid podcasts in the Podcasts app and Apple Card Family, which will allow users of the Apple Card (not in the Netherlands and Belgium) to share it with family members.
About testing beta & rsquo; s
When testing beta & rsquo; s you can often run into problems. First of all, not all functions are usually immediately available, but are added and expanded during the test period. You can also suffer from crashes or some apps may not work properly yet. So keep this in mind if you decide to test an iOS update. It is therefore not recommended to install a beta on a device that you use every day, because there can still be many problems in the beta. You can read more about problems caused by the iOS 14 betas in our separate article.
