Apple's new iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 public betas can be installed for free on any recent device, but be forewarned, there are bugs.

Despite Apple's employees being forced to work remotely to avoid the spread of the virus, the company said they cooked up new features long requested by users and available on competing phones powered by Google's Android software.

While the new features are fun to try, these public betas aren't meant for everyday use.

The company frequently reminds people who download the software that it may contain errors, that it could suddenly stop working and that it could lose your data. Apple advises the adventurous people who still want to use it to install the beta software on a device that isn't "business critical.".

Apple's public betas for iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 aren't the only software the company plans to make available ahead of its fall releases.

Apple is also planning to offer its first public betas of the new WatchOS software for its Apple Watches and MacOS Big Sur for its desktops and laptops later this month.

Apple's iOS 14 for its iPhone and iPod Touch (yup, those still exist), was focused on adding features people have been asking the company to add for years, as well as refinements to make it easier to use.

And in group chats, Apple now allows people to create threaded responses, much like other popular business chat apps like Slack and Microsoft's Teams.

The company will include new privacy features as well, including a warning at the top of the screen whenever an app is using the microphone or camera, and a list of any apps that recently did.

Apple's public betas for the newest software for the Apple Watch and Mac aren't coming until later this month, but when they do, they'll include some new features as well.
