That means more people than ever before will be able to test it out, try the new and enhanced features, and provide feedback before it goes into wide release this fall. But it also means people will have to go through the public beta download and install process. While it's not complicated, is is new and different. So, we're going to walk you through it and give you a place to ask questions if you need extra help. </p> <p><strong>Warning</strong>: Beta means beta. This isn't an early access program. It's pre-release software. That means put it on a secondary device if you have one and, if you don't, think really hard before installing it on your primary device. If you rely on your iPhone or iPad for critical communications or to run your life or business, you may want to stay clear until the official release this fall.</p> <ul><li><a href="#backup">How to make an archived back up your iPhone or iPad[/url]</li> <li><a href="#register">How to register your account for the iOS 9 public beta[/url]</li> <li><a href="#enroll">How to enroll your iPhone or iPad in the iOS 9 public beta[/url]</li> <li><a href="#install">How to install the iOS 9 public beta[/url]</li> <li><a href="#start">How to get started with iOS 9 public beta[/url]</li> </ul><h2><a name="backup" id="backup">[/url]How to make an archived back up your iPhone or iPad</h2> <p>Before you begin, make sure you back up your iPhone or iPad. While the beta process is fairly straight forward, any time you make any significant change to your device you risk problems. And with your personal data, it's always—always!—better to be safe than sorry. Even if you back up every night, you'll want to make sure it's absolutely up-to-date.</p> <ol><li>Plug <strong>iPhone</strong> or <strong>iPad</strong> into your Mac or Windows PC.</li> <li>Launch <strong>iTunes</strong>.</li> <li>Click on the <strong>iPhone</strong> or <strong>iPad</strong> icon in the menu bar when it appears.</li> <li>Make sure backup is set to <strong>This Computer</strong>.

(Click on <strong>Encrypt Backup</strong> and add a password— you want the security.)</li> <li><strong>Back up Apps</strong>, if asked.
