Apple’s beta profiles for iOS allow users to install early experimental versions of the operating system, ahead of its public release. While this is a great way to check out the latest and greatest that Apple has to offer, some of you may want to remove this profile once it has served its purpose.
Also, Apple rolls out beta builds more frequently than public builds, and you may get prompted to update your iPhone way more often as a result.
If this is something that annoys you, here’s how you can remove the beta profile and stop receiving beta updates.
Remove the iOS Beta Profile From the Settings
Once you install the iOS beta profile, whether it’s the developer or public beta, you’ll get all the respective beta updates for the rest of the year until the next iOS iteration. The only way to stop this is by removing the beta profile, which will unenroll your iPhone or iPad from the beta program.
Follow these instructions to learn how to uninstall the iOS 15 beta profile:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Scroll down and tap on General to proceed.
- In this menu, scroll down to the bottom and select VPN & Device Management.
- Now, you’ll be able to see the iOS 15 Beta Software Profile that’s installed on your iPhone. Tap on it to continue.Image Gallery (3 Images)
- Next, tap on Remove Profile to proceed with the uninstallation.
- You’ll need to type in your iPhone passcode now.
- Lastly, you’ll get a popup prompting you to Restart your iPhone to apply all the profile changes.Image Gallery (3 Images)
Now that you’ve removed the beta profile, you’ll only be notified of the stable public builds of iOS. You no longer need to update your iPhone every week since Apple rolls out public software far less often. And, if you ever want to rejoin the beta, all you need to do is install the profile again.
A Great Way to Switch Back to Public Software
Once you’re done testing out iOS 15 beta software, this is an easy and convenient way to switch back to regular public builds. You don’t need a computer or restore your iPhone to get this done, as long as you can wait for the public update from Apple.
Of course, if you don’t have the patience for that, you can always restore your iPhone with an IPSW file of the latest signed firmware using your computer.
