What Is TestFlight on iPhone?
TestFlight is an app developed by Apple that helps developers reach potential users to provide early access to their apps. This can help developers understand how the app works before publicly launching it. Developers host a beta program and send invite links to a limited number of users to test the app using TestFlight.
As a user, if you can get access to the invite, you can download the beta version of the app using TestFlight on your iPhone. You can not only use the app before launch but also help developers discover bugs and issues with your feedback.
Intrigued? Let’s find out how you can become a part of the beta testing program.
How to Join the iOS App Beta Testing Program
There are two ways to participate in beta programs of applications on iPhone using TestFlight. Let’s explore both options in this section.
Method 1: Join the Beta Program Using Invite Links
Developers often post about the beta program of their apps and hand out invites on social media. If you can get your hands on one of these links, and provided the beta program is not full, you can download the app on TestFlight.
Method 2: Discover Beta Apps on Airport
Additionally, Apple also has a service called Airport that helps you discover apps in beta. You have a wide range of applications to choose from in various categories. However, you can only install and use these apps provided the beta program is not full. All you need to do is sign up for Airport using your Apple ID on your web browser and access the catalog of Beta apps.
You can visit the Airport using the link below.
Now that you can access the apps, move to the next section to learn what to do next.
How to Download and Use TestFlight Apps
Once you have an invite link or are ready to pick an app from Airport, here’s how you can install them on your iPhone.
Step 1: Download the TestFlight app from the App Store on your iPhone.
Step 2: Open the invite link, or tap on Get if you choose a beta app from Airport.
Step 3: Tap on Accept.
Step 4: The app is ready to be downloaded. Tap on Install.
You will now see the downloaded beta app on your home screen. If new beta builds are not uploaded, you can only use the app until it expires. Once it expires, you can check if the app is available via App Store through a public release.
