iOS 14.5 beta 5 now available to developers as public release nears

iOS 14.5 beta 5 is now available to developer beta testers. This comes as the beta testing process continues ahead of an expected release to the general public sometime this spring. iPadOS 14.5 is also available to developer beta testers today.

Update: iOS 14.5 beta 5 is also now rolling out for public beta users.

iOS 14.5 beta 5 s available to developers and public beta users via an over-the-air update in the Settings app. As usual, if the update does not immediately appear for download, keep checking, as it sometimes takes a few minutes to roll out to all registered developers.

iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4 include a notable change to the integration between iPhone and Apple Watch. For the first time, your Apple Watch will now unlock your iPhone when you’re wearing a face mask. Learn more about that in our full hands-on right here.
