Apple has presented iOS 15 and this summer developers (and later public testers) will start working on the beta of iOS 15. With this beta period, Apple will properly test the latest software update, so that hopefully later this year a as stable as possible update is ready for you. Almost all new features can be tested with iOS 15 beta.

About testing betas
When testing betas you can often run into problems. First of all, not all functions are usually available immediately, but they are added and expanded during the test period. You may also suffer from crashes or some apps may not yet work properly. 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.
