But before you proceed to register for Apple’s developer beta program and give iOS 12 and macOS Mojave’s latest developer beta builds a try, do keep in mind that this is a pre-release software which might be loaded with bugs that can affect certain features and may also lead to data loss in some cases. So, if you are feeling really anxious and are bold enough to try out a beta software, back up all your data in advance, or better yet, wait for the stable build to arrive.
