How to Get iPadOS 17 Beta
With one of the iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 build, Apple removed the beta profile system. Earlier we had to download and install a specific beta profile to get the beta update. But now the process is different. All you need is your account, and based on your account you will receive beta updates.
Create Developer Account
The iPadOS 17 beta is currently accessible to developers, requiring a developer account for access. However, even a free developer account is eligible for the beta.
