I enrolled both my iphone 5s and macbook pro 15" to the beta Software program because I wanted the features of El capitan and IOS 9. Now that IOS 9 is officially released and El Capitan will be released soon (30th september), How do I stop receiving beta versions?

I read the link below and I don't want to downgrade versions doing the recovery mode thing, because I lost all my backups, I only have backups from yesterday, no backups from before the beta versions were installed. So I just want not to receive beta versions anymore and use only shipping versions. If I just unsubscribe the program (I have already done this) will be enough? Or Do I have to unenroll my devices? That would be a problem as I don't have backups before the beta versions.

What they telling you is what you have to do to get back to the earlier non-beta versions of the two OSs. You don't actually have to do that unless you don't want to remain on the beta version you have. So, yes, just leaving the program is enough.

Now that you're on iOS 9.1, you are going to have to wait for it to be released fully so that you can update to it OTA (as normal and there's no data loss). Until then you'll be on the beta. There are ways of getting back to iOS 9.0, but if you are not unhappy on 9.1 then there's no point in risking it.

You are completely safe to both unenroll your devices and also to leave the program entirely using the link at the bottom of Neither of things will cause your iOS device or your Mac to drop back to an earlier verison of OS, nor will it remove any of the data on it. All that will happen is that you won't be offered further betas after iOS 9.0 or OS X 10.11. You will be able to intstall the release version of OS X 10.11 when it is released in 9 days and doing that won't affect your user environment - all your files apps, docs, user accounts, etc. will remain in place.

In the past, the only way to get out of the Apple Beta Software Program was to delete the beta profile entirely from your phone. We will still go over how to do that, as you may want the profile entirely gone, but Apple has recently added a much easier way to opt out of beta updates. All you have to do to leave the Apple beta program is go into General in Settings and toggle Beta Updates off. Here's how to do that.

This will stop Beta Updates from showing up as possible updates going forward. However, it will not revert your iPhone back to iOS 17. To get back into the shipping version, you can wait until a new update that is more recent than your beta version is available. This will show up automatically for you in Software Update in Settings, but you might have to wait a while until a newer shipping version of iOS 18 is ready to install. If you want to go back to iOS 17, you can restore your iPhone from an iTunes backup or restore from an iCloud backup you made before installing the iOS 18 public beta.

Starting with iOS 16.4, you'll no longer have the option to delete a beta profile from your iPhone. However, if you have 16.3 or earlier and are running a beta that you want to remove, here are the steps to follow.

This lets Apple know you will no longer be beta testing iOS 16. Your device will be removed from the Apple Beta Software Program, at least until the next time you decide to be a beta tester. Now, when the next non-beta version of iOS 16 becomes available, you can install it, and the beta will be removed from your device. If you don't want to wait for the public version of iOS 16 to be released, you can restore your device. This is where the backup you made before downloading and installing the beta software comes in.

If you want to revert back to your previous public iOS, you will need to restore your device from an iTunes or iCloud backup you made before downloading the beta software. Once you've completed this process and restarted your device, you should be rid of the Apple beta program and back to iOS 17. However, this does not appear to work 100% of the time, so before you take these steps, make sure your backups are solid so you won't lose anything important in the process.

Now you know how to remove iOS 18 beta, and your device should be running the OS it was when you created your backup. You can now try out all the fun new features. Next, learn how to submit iOS beta Feedback to Apple.

Apple has two tiers of beta programs for its operating systems. It has a paid developer tier, and it has a public tier. And, when the beta period you want to evaluate is over, you may want to remove your iPhone from the beta cycle.

Even though you have uninstalled the beta profile from your device, you still will be on the beta software without further action. You will have to wait until the next public software update to fully be off the beta software.

It is important to remember that you are downloading beta software, so there are bugs and crashes to be expected. Your existing apps on your device may also not be compatible with the operating system since it's still in the beta stage.

It is also recommended to download beta software on a secondary device, not your main one. It is also highly advisable to maintain backups of all your important data before taking part in a beta or making any major changes to the operating system.

Beta testers have been exploring the features in iOS 17 for some time now, having raced to install the beta on their iPhones as soon as it became available.

Now you have wiped your iPhone and reinstalled the non-beta version of iOS, you can get on with the process of recovering it from a backup prior to your beta adventure if you have one. Note that if the backup was made since the beta was installed you will reinstall the beta at this stage!

But now that your iPhone has a stable release of a shiny new operating system, you might not want to keep up with the betas anymore.
