Many users are complaining after installing iOS 18 beta version. Common issues with iOS 18 beta are iPhone heats too much and battery drained quickly, iPhone restarts every 15 minutes, Apps crashing, iPhone running slow, notifications not showing, Siri not working, iPhone stuck in recovery mode, etc. These are the common issues that users are facing during installation of beta version or after installation of beta version.

These are the common issue, but I have watched people posting reels on Instagram that their iPhone does not work after iOS beta installation. Some users posted that they have replace the iPhone Screen and remove the beta version and then they are able to use the iPhone. This is mainly with iPhone 13. Because most of people have faced problem with iPhone 13. One of mobile expert shared a reel of failure of iPhone 13 motherboard after installing Ios 18 beta version. I don’t know how it effects the motherboard, but if you asked me to install the 18 beta version then I will say NO! Big No. The safer version of Ios 18 will available when the new iPhone 16 will launch or public version of ios 18 will be release.
