Looking to download iOS 26 beta 2 OTA profile update and IPSW file links? Here’s how to install Apple’s latest developer beta on your iPhone.
It’s important to remember that you need to be a registered Apple developer to download this second beta, and you should also keep in mind that this is very much a beta update.
That means that you should only install it on devices that you don’t need to work 100% of the time. Bugs should be expected, as should poor performance and battery life.
This second beta comes two weeks after the first one was released and includes a number of fixes. Downloading this update via the Settings app is the quickest and easiest, although you do need to be signed into the correct Apple ID for it to appear.
Assuming you’re a registered developer, installing iOS 26 beta 2 is incredibly easy.
Step 1: Open the Settings app and choose General, followed by Software Update.
Step 2: Tap Beta Updates.
Step 3: Change the Apple ID that is configured if needed. It can be different from the one you’re using as your main iPhone Apple ID, so long as it’s registered on Apple’s developer program.
Step 4: Select the iOS 26 Developer Beta.
Step 5: Return to the Software Update screen and choose Download and Install. Enter your passcode if prompted and agree to the Terms & Conditions.
That’s all there is to it. After a restart, you’ll be running the second iOS 26 beta!
If you’re alternatively interested in clean installing iOS 26 via IPSW file, head over to developer.apple.com to grab the file for your device.
We expect that Apple will release a public beta in a few weeks, with the final public release coming this fall.
