JAKARTA - The Beta version of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 is here. This is the software that will run on millions of iPhones and iPads when Apple releases the final version this fall. This new version will give its users a first look at new features like Live Text, FaceTime on Android, and new privacy features.

The installation process only takes a few taps on the iPhone screen. Users can even go back to iOS 14 at any time. However, before users get to the iOS 15 beta, there are a few important things to know. Especially if you "only" have one iPhone or iPad.

There are a few things to note. For example, bugs, poor battery life and potentially corrupted apps. Users will experience one or more of these factors while the beta program is running. If a user is determined to install iOS 15 on their primary Apple device, here are a few things you really should know.

Some iOS 15 bugs would be too much to handle

The Beta version is called that because it's not finished yet and there must be problems. For example, the second beta of iOS 14.7 includes an issue that causes some iPhones to not recognize the SIM card in the phone.

Such bugs and issues will definitely appear in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. These bugs will annoy and make users uncomfortable.

Then some applications will also not work properly. Whenever Apple makes major changes to the operating system and the basic APIs that developers use to build new features and services, it usually means that older developer tools are removed or the way they work is changed.

Even a slight change can cause the app to no longer work at all.

If there's an app you rely on every day, it's better to wait until it's near the official release before joining the beta.

Furthermore, battery life is almost always a problem. If you're lucky enough not to have issues with any of the apps you're using on a beta version, then almost no one is immune from battery life issues while on an iOS beta.

One of the last things Apple did during the beta program was optimize apps, features, and services for battery efficiency. In previous beta programs, there were frequent cases of charging in the middle of the day, even with minimal usage.

The same goes for the first pair of iOS 15 beta. Users are forced to charge their phones every time, to be able to last until the night after being charged the night before. Battery life in beta has always suffered.

Luckily Apple has released battery cases for the current generation iPhone which has helped, but this year the company hasn't released anything for the iPhone 12 lineup.

If you have the iOS 15 beta installed, be prepared to bring a charger, and a cable, as you will definitely need them after a few hours of use.

Researchers suggest, if you want to use iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, then you should wait a few more months for Apple to fix a number of these weaknesses. Around August, a better official version is predicted to come out. That's a good time to use this latest version.
