After seeding the second developer beta builds of its upcoming iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, and tvOS 12 operating systems to registered developers, Apple today released the first public beta builds.

Apple unveiled the iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, tvOS 12, and watchOS 5 operating systems during the keynote presentation of its WWDC 2018 developer conference on June 4, 2018, when the Cupertino, California-based company released the first developer beta of all four OSes.

Now, two weeks later, Apple releases the first public beta of iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, and tvOS 12 to anyone willing to install the development versions of these upcoming operating systems on their devices. By installing the public betas, users can help Apple improve these OSes by sending feedback.

While watchOS still isn't part of the Apple Beta Software Program, users can install the new public betas released today if they want to get an early glimpse of what's coming to iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, and tvOS 12 this fall, when Apple will release the final versions, which could happen in late September.

How to install iOS 12, macOS 10.14, and tvOS 12 public beta

Those willing to run beta software on their devices can now install the first public beta of iOS 12, macOS 10.14 Mojave, and tvOS 12 by enrolling into the Apple Beta Software Program. As usual, we've prepared in-depth tutorials to guide you through the installation process, which you can check out here, here, and here. S However, before jumping onto the iOS 12, macOS 10.14, and tvOS 12 public beta bandwagon, please check out if your device is supported and do make backups of your current installations. We've also noted these essential aspects in the tutorials, but we're reminding you once more so that you won't run into any trouble.

The first public beta of iOS 12, macOS Mojave 10.14, and tvOS 12 are based on the second developer beta released last week, which means that it's a bit more stable, but it doesn't mean it is bug-free. There are many issues in these early betas, so you should always have a backup in case you want to downgrade to a previous stable version.
