9 Things to Do Before Installing iOS 10.3.3 Beta
Gather Your Login Information | ||||||||||
 | ||||||||||
Apple's going to need some important information from you if you decide to install the iOS 10.3.3 beta on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. First and foremost, you'll need your Apple ID to get the ball rolling. Apple's beta process requires a developer account or an Apple ID so you'll want to track down your info (or the info of the person you're installing for) before you even try to download the proper files. There's also a good chance the iOS 10.3.3 beta will log you out of some, or all, of your applications and services. Both Apple and third-party. So, you'll want to make sure you know all of your passwords and logins before you proceed. Otherwise, you might find yourself wasting a ton resetting your various passwords and accounts. | ||||||||||

You should note that doing a backup through the cloud will not be of any use. If you encounter some major hiccups and/or can’t use iOS 10, you will need to roll back your operating system to the latest public iOS from Apple (iOS 9.3.4). You CANNOT role back from iOS 10 to iOS 9 using your backups stored in the cloud. You need to make an “archived backup” before proceeding to upgrade to the iOS 10 Beta. This is really easy and I will name the steps here:
How to make an Archived Backup on iTunes:
1. Connect your phone to whichever computer is running your iTunes.
2. Under “Backups” choose “This Computer”
3. Underneath that, click “Encrypted” (Note: this is essential if you want to save all your passwords, HomeKit and Health info. Not selecting this will wipe all of this data)
4. Click “Backup Now” and wait for it to finish
5. Once finished, click on iTunes menu and then “Preferences”
6. Go to the “Devices” tab and highlight the backup you just completed
7. Right click that backup and choose “Archive” and you are all done!
Note: To know whether you have successfully archived a backup, it will have the date and time next to it of when this archive took place. And remember, you cannot simply archive a backup through an “iCloud Backup.”
Hopefully not, but if for some reason you need to restore to previous version, simply google how to downgrade and restore iOS on whichever device you are using. You will have to do this is “recovery” mode and is fairly simple if you follow those instructions correctly. Hope this helps! :)

“Early software is extremely unpredictable and it can (and probably will) cause problems on your device.”
I’ve already transfer my photos, podcast, music, video to my PC in case I lost them when updating with WinX MediaTrans
(https://www.winxdvd.com/mediatrans/).
Thank you, Adam, very useful. But I need to know what other problems it is likely to cause on my iPhone…

I have had iOS 10 Beta for two weeks and it is VERY stable. I’m actually really impressed by how stable and compatible with my apps it’s being.
ADITYA: Downloading any Apple beta software from Apple does NOT void your warranty. It says it right on their website.

Why would you need to download what you already have? When IOS 10 comes out for everyone you will not even notice. You will already have iOS 10 and won’t have to do anything.

Most worthless post from the most worthless website on the entire internet. This entire site is one giant native ad.

Haha so true, yet we find ourselves here for some reason? I think my first comment above (Chris) has more useful information than this entire “article.”
