The fifth developer builds of watchOS 11.1, tvOS 18.1, and visionOS 2.1 are out now as Apple prepares to release the next updates to the operating system.
Apple has split its usual beta testing cycle into two distinct groups, and sometimes released them separately. This was due to early beta testing of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 to address issues with Apple Intelligence.
Because these three versions began testing much earlier, the beta is split into two groups: builds with Apple Intelligence support are separated from those without.
The fourth builds of watchOS 11.1, tvOS 18.1, and visionOS 2.1 were released on October 7, and the third on October 1. However, Apple recalled the watchOS 11.1 beta on October 3 due to some models freezing while running it.
Apple’s tvOS 18.1 beta is moving to 22J5573a from 22J5567a, watchOS 11.1 is moving to build 22R5575a from 22R5569a, and visionOS 2.1 is moving to 22N5573a from 22N5567a.
AppleInsider and Apple strongly recommend that users not install test operating systems or other beta or RC software on “mission-critical” or primary hardware due to the remote possibility of issues that could result in data loss. Testers should therefore use secondary or non-primary devices and ensure they have adequate backups of any mission-critical data.
