Step 1: Go to Settings -> General -> Software Update.
Step 2: On this screen, you will see iOS 13 GM available for download. If not, try again after a while.
Before installing, it is better to connect the device to a Wi-Fi network with a good signal. To download the beta, click Download and install.
All future public beta versions will appear on your device automatically, and you won’t have to do anything for it.
Recall that iOS 13 is still under development, so there will definitely be some bugs in the beta version until Apple fixes them before the release of the final version.
Through a beta test program, Apple provides an opportunity to test iOS 13 to everyone, even before the release. In addition, this way it is easier for a company to test the update on different devices and find bugs in it.
