iOS 12 is expected to be released this fall and will bring a number of new features and performance improvements. While the new firmware is still in beta, users who can’t wait to get their hands on it can install the public beta version which allows non-developers to install the latest beta firmware of iOS 12 for free.

The fourth public beta of iOS 12 was released a few days back and if you’re already part of the public beta program, then you should see a pending firmware update in the Settings section of your device. However, if you’re new to this, then hold on tight as we’ll outline the steps in this article to enroll in the Apple Public Beta Program and install the fourth public beta version of iOS 12.

Before getting started, make sure to read the following important points:

• Take a complete backup of your device using iTunes or iCloud so that you can easily restore your data in case things go wrong during the upgrade process.
• Head over to Apple’s website to check whether your device supports iOS 12 (the list of compatible devices is given at the end of that page).
