The WhatsApp beta for iOS continues to be distributed via Apple’s TestFlight in 2025, with frequent new builds such as 25.20.10.73 and 25.19.10.80 released over the summer [6] [10]. To join the beta, you need to install TestFlight on your iOS device and then follow a public invite link if slots are available. However, slots in the WhatsApp beta program are limited, and often the program is full; new testers can only join when spots reopen [1].
Key points for 2025:
- Recent beta versions: WhatsApp continues to roll out updates for iOS via TestFlight, with latest versions in the 25.20.x and 25.19.x range as of July 2025 [6] [7] [10].
- Joining: The public TestFlight link is periodically available, but typically fills quickly [1]. If the program is full, you must wait for openings.
- Requirements: You must have TestFlight installed and meet any device or iOS version criteria specified by the developer [1] [4].
- Updates: Beta testers receive notifications about new builds through TestFlight and can update directly within the app [1].
- Feedback: As a tester, your feedback helps guide bug fixes and new features before public release.
For those interested in joining, it’s recommended to monitor WhatsApp-focused sites like WABetaInfo, which quickly posts updates when the beta program opens slots or new builds become available [1] [2]. There is no guarantee of immediate access due to high demand and slot limitations.
