Apple has released the beta version of its latest version of iOS – the iOS 10 – for the beta testers. If you want to have this latest update on your iPhone, you can just get yourself enrolled in beta testing and you should be able to run the latest version of iOS on your iPhone right away. Not only is it iOS 10 that you can enjoy on your iPhone, but you also have the latest version of OS X to try out on your Mac before its official release that is a few months away.
Before you can update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS, you need to first enroll in the beta testing program, download and install beta profile on your iPhone, and only then should you be able to run iOS 10 on your device. Here’s how to do that all:

1. Launch Safari on your iPhone by tapping on its icon.
2. When Safari launches, head over to the Apple Beta page which is located at the following URL: https://beta.apple.com/profile
