How to Install iOS 11 Beta for Free Without Developer Account

Apple unveiled iOS 11 at WWDC 2017 keynote. In general, Apple released the first developer preview of the OS for developers to try out the OS on their iPhone or iPad.

While the first iOS 11 developer preview will have stability issues, it is still worth a try just due to the sheer number of features that the OS comes with. If you are bummed about not having a developer account to be able to install iOS 11 on your iPhone or iPad, worry not as there is a simple hack through which you can get developer beta on your device right away. Even better, the steps don’t require you to have access to your PC and can be all done on your iPhone or iPad itself. Here’s how:

Step 1: On your iOS device, head over to this link. Make sure to open it in Safari itself and not in any other browser or app.

Step 2: You will be automatically redirected to ‘iOS Beta Software Profile’  from where you will have to tap on Install three times and select the reboot option.

Step 3: Once your iPhone or iPad has rebooted, head over to Settings -> General -> Software update and the iOS 11 developer beta OTA should be available as a download on your device. If the update does not show up, wait for a few minutes and try again. If that still does not work, make sure to restart your iPhone or iPad again.

After the OTA is downloaded, install it like you would install any other iOS update.

Have fun.
