What audioOS 27 Beta 4 Is

audioOS 27 Beta 4 is build 24J5325d, released on July 20, 2026. It is a pre-release build available through the developer and public beta channels, and it supersedes every earlier audioOS 27 beta.

This is the first build of the audioOS 27 cycle we have on record, which makes it the baseline every later build is measured against.

Beta 4 Build Numbers Across Every Platform

Apple ships each beta wave across its platforms on the same day, usually with different build numbers per operating system. Here is every build we recorded in this wave, taken from Apple's own release feed rather than reposted from elsewhere.

Matching build numbers between two platforms — as iOS and iPadOS almost always have — mean they are built from the same source, which is why their betas behave identically.

How to Install audioOS 27 Beta 4

There is no profile to download. Enrol your Apple Account free at beta.apple.com for the public beta or developer.apple.com for the developer channel, then open Settings → System → Software Updates → Beta Updates on the Apple TV and select the audioOS 27 channel. The build appears in Software Update like any ordinary update.

If you are already on an earlier audioOS 27 beta, this arrives as a normal update and no re-enrolment is needed. Our full audioOS 27 install guide covers the process step by step, and our device pages tell you whether your exact model qualifies.

Should You Install It?

That depends on where this build sits in the cycle and what the device is for. Early builds break third-party apps — banking and workplace apps first — and cost you a week of heavy background indexing. Later builds are progressively calmer.

Whatever you decide, make an archived backup on a computer first. A backup made on audioOS 27 cannot be restored onto the previous release, so it is the only route back with your data intact — our backup guide explains the difference, and our honest assessment covers running a beta on the phone you depend on.

What Comes After Beta 4

Beta 5 followed on August 10, 2026 as build 24J5346a, 21 days later. If you are reading this on Beta 4, that newer build is already waiting in Software Update.

Our build history tracks every audioOS build with its date and the gap before it, which is the clearest picture of how a cycle is progressing. The beta calendar guide explains the shape of the year.
