Install iOS 10 Developer Beta without Apple Developer Account

Apple released their most advanced mobile OS till date, iOS 10 at the WWDC 2016 this year and announced about the developer preview available from the very same day.
People with developer accounts can head to the Apple developer website and download the beta using Xcode 8 on their MACs and use it in their phone. Public beta was announced to release some time in July.
But the developer profile which needs to be loaded on phone is already available on the web and can be installed on any iOS device compatible with iOS 10 and the update can be downloaded OTA directly on the phone.
Though you get all the new features and can enjoy using it, the OS update is very buggy and simple apps like Facebook crash on this preview.
People have also reported automatic restarts of phone and phone lagging so in simpler words uf you can compromise on your device performance for new features you can go ahead and follow these steps and install iOS 10. Make sure you are viewing this on your iDevice as you have to install the developer profile directly on your device.
  1. Delete any previous profiles you have installed by going in Settings > General > Profile.
  2.  Download iOS 10 developer beta profile from the link by opening it on your iDevice and when prompted install it. After you install it successfully you will be prompted to re-start your device.
  3. Go ahead and re-start your iDevice and check for updates by going in Settings > General > Software Updates. The update is 1.53 gigabytes in size.
  4. You will see iOS 10 Developer Beta 1/2 available. When you see that you can click on download and install on the end and wait for the update to get downloaded.
That is it. After these steps you will successfully be able to use iOS 10 developer beta. It is very buggy and crashes a lot so be very sure before doing it.
Going back to iOS 9.3.3 is fairly easy and many tutorials are available on the web for it so if in future you want to go back there is way.
This is it for now folks. Hit back in comments and share your experiences with the new update and major bugs that you face.

Apple releases iOS 10 beta 2 fro developers to squash major bugs in beta 1.

Apple has released Beta 2 for their by far biggest mobile OS release the iOS 10.


The beta 1 for iOS 10 was very buggy as it was targeted only for developers for testing on their development devices.
Many bloggers predicted that Apple might release their Beta 2 on 4th July 2016, based on previous update patterns. Probably due to that being a holiday in US, they finally released the update today.
Here is the complete release notes for the update.
