How to Update from iOS 14 Beta to iOS 14

This guide shows you how to leave the iOS 14 beta and upgrade to the official iOS 14 version without worrying about getting the next iOS 14.0.1 and iOS 14.1 betas.

How to Update from iOS 14 beta to iOS 14 with iTunes or Finder

Although it takes a little more time and a little more preparation, you can do it on your Mac with iTunes. You’ll need a lightning cable, your Mac, and an iPhone or iPad.

1. Turn off your iPhone.
2. Plug it into your Mac and then press the Side and Volume Down button to enter Recovery Mode. Keep holding them until your iPhone enters recovery mode.

If you choose to update, you will keep all the information on your iPhone in place. If you choose Restore, it will completely erase your iPhone and you have to start from scratch.

When your iPhone installs the update and reboots, you’ll be on the latest version and beta of iOS 14.
