A few weeks ago, before iOS 18‘s stable launch, Apple started testing iOS 18.1 with members of its developer program. The release packs some of the upcoming Apple Intelligence features, such as Writing Tools and Clean Up. To allow more users to try its AI features, Apple has now expanded the iOS 18.1 beta’s availability to public testers.
Days after releasing iOS 18.1 developer beta 4, Apple made public beta 1 available to testers with compatible iPhones. Both beta versions share the same build number and features, including the first batch of Apple Intelligence goods.
