Beta 7 of iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 Released
Beta 7 of iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 released to users in the beta testing programs for iPhone and iPad. The new beta build is 18E5198a and is available to both developer beta and public beta users. Apple typically goes through several betas builds before releasing a final version of system software to the general public. With Apple releasing Beta 7, it suggests we may be very close to the final public releases of iOS and iPadOS 14.5, watchOS 7.4, tvOS 14.5, and macOS Big Sur 11.3

- After your iPhone resets, open Settings.
- Tap General
