Your phone may get hot, or the battery drains more quickly than usual. Bugs may also make iOS beta software less secure. Hackers can exploit loopholes and security to install malware or steal personal data. And that is why Apple strongly recommend that no one installs beta iOS on their “main” iPhone.
Can iOS 14 beta ruin your phone?
Installing beta software will not ruin your phone. Just remember to make a backup before you install iOS 14 beta. Apple developers will be looking for issues and providing updates. The worst that could happen would be if you had to reinstall your backup.
Is it safe to download iOS 14?
All in all, iOS 14 has been relatively stable and hasn’t seen many bugs or performance issues during the beta period. However, if you’re wanting to play it safe, it could be worth waiting a few days or up to a week or so before installing iOS 14. Last year with iOS 13, Apple released both iOS 13.1 and iOS 13.1.
