MAIN MENUHow To Download iOS 15.1 beta 1on iPhone and iPad
Apple released the first beta for iOS 15.1 on Tuesday, exactly one day after iOS 15 rolled out to the public. All that we know so far is that the latest beta contains bug fixes and improvements, but we’ll be sure to share an update if and when we learn more about the new software.
First of all, we should note that all of the devices that were supported by iOS 14 will be supported by iOS 15 as well, so if you were able to update to iOS 14, you’re in the clear for at least one more year, even if you’re still using an iPhone 6s Plus, an iPad Air 2, or an iPad mini 4.
What’s new in iOS 15.1 beta 1?
After removing SharePlay in iOS 15 beta 2, Apple has re-enabled the feature in the iOS 15.1, iPadOS 15.1, and tvOS 15.1 betas. You’ll no longer need the SharePlay Development Profile for the feature to work. Also, users can now upload their COVID-19 vaccination status in the Health app and generate a vaccination card in Apple Wallet. This will be useful for places that require proof of vaccination.
