We might just need to reinstall the profile.

Tried that as I’m away from my Mac. Still don’t work.

Are you on public or developer beta?

I did that earlier.

I’m developer and I ain’t got it.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the dev profile. Still no OTA.

Apple may forgot to flip the switch so OTA for everyone at 1PM PST😛

Not seeing it either.

iPad Pro 9.7

Hopefully, only then we can find out of Message in iCloud will make its debut.

I doubt that it will make its debut unless beta 6 changes a lot. The same syncing problems I had been seeing from 11.3 betas are still present in beta 5 of 11.4.

Probably because we have todo a restore and set up as new.

Link that says that?

Update process via iTunes (recovery mode) has been changed in beta 5. Has anyone noticed?

Developer

I think they forgot to switch on OTA. As why would they have the ota profile on the developer site?

 

[deep1]

OTA out now.

 

[cale508]

58.6MB on iPhone 8 Plus

 

[FunkyTang]

OTA rolling on SE.

 

[d123]

Showing on iPad Pro as well now.

Probably because we have todo a restore and set up as new.

OTA is now downloading, perhaps it would be better if you don't post your guesses as fact in future?

 

[GIZBUG]

I uninstalled and reinstalled the dev profile. Still no OTA.

Patience....

Patience....

I had a brutal power drain and hot phone since my upgrade to beta 5. Hopeful this update was emergency release to fix that.

So far cool phone with beta 6 vs hot phone always with beta 5.

I wonder if the PB will be delayed as well.

 

[gwhizkids]

As with every other build that Apple has ever released, OTA lags behind the beta site announcement for a fairly significant amount of time (1-60 minutes usually). Chill, it'll most likely show up within the hour.

1-60 minutes is a pretty extreme range for defining a "significant amount of time". I would not call 1 minute "significant". Today's event ==> yeah, that was significant.

In any event, in my experience, the OTA has usually, but not always, coincided with the release on the developer portal, i.e., around 10am PT. It has been these last few releases where there have been some delays.
