Apple today began distributing the sixth iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 beta to registered developers. iOS 18 beta 6 comes two weeks after the company issued the fifth beta to developers on Monday, August 5. Apple also released iOS 18.1 beta 2 today.
A few weeks ago, Apple released the first iOS 18.1 beta with some Apple Intelligence features. iOS 18 beta 6 is likely to have small changes compared to earlier beta builds as Apple finalizes the development of the software ahead of its launch alongside the iPhone 16 lineup in September.
In addition to iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 beta 6, Apple has also issued the sixth beta builds for:

How to install iOS 18 beta 6
Last year, Apple introduced a new method to install betas. Now, devices enrolled with a linked Apple Developer Program account or those who signed up with their Apple ID on Apple Developer will see a new menu under Settings -> General -> Software Update that allows users to opt into receiving beta updates. Devices that aren’t enrolled and linked to an Apple Developer account won’t see the menu and therefore aren’t able to install any new beta.
We will keep this article updated with any additional changes that we find in the sixth beta of iOS 18, including references to new features or unreleased products.
