How to Install visionOS 26.6
Open Settings → General → Software Update → Beta Updates and install it like any other update. There is nothing to download first and no profile involved — Apple removed beta profiles in 2023, and a shipped release never needed one anyway.
If the update does not appear, it is usually one of three things: the rollout has not reached your device yet (Apple releases in waves over a few days), the device is below the storage the installer needs, or it is enrolled in a beta channel that is already ahead of this version. Our guide to an update that will not show up works through each.
