I'm curious about what's going to happen with the iOS 26 beta once the official version is released. Will the beta be removed? Can I still download the official iOS 26 even if I've been running the beta? Right now, all I receive are beta updates, and I'm hoping to get the official release soon. Thanks for your help!

If you're already using the release candidate, you basically have the same version that will be widely available. Just disable the beta updates, and you should be good to go moving forward!
You'll want to turn off the beta updates in your settings. Once the official release is out, you'll start getting the regular updates, assuming it's different from the release candidate. A lot of times, if you're on the release candidate, you might actually be running the final version already, so you might not see a new update right away.
You should be all set. If you keep following the beta track, you’ll soon start getting the iOS 26.1 builds, which means you'll receive updates like everyone else, but you won't miss out on the final release.
Exactly! I did the same thing when the RC came out, and it worked perfectly for me. Just keep an eye out for updates!
That happened to me too! When I switched off the beta updates, I wasn't able to turn them back on until the next beta came out. Hopefully, the option will return once they push another beta.
