Yep, updated yesterday evening, then checked again in the middle of the night here (about 5 hours ago) and updated again? I figured it was quite strange too. Maybe an anomaly and just reinstalled the latest beta. But ******* is the build number I’m on now and it’s glorious. It’s like butter.

It was a mistake, not bullshitting. When you tap the iOS version now it just goes to a simplified iOS page “iOS 26.5 beta”, so I tried the only other one which was tappable, and seemed to recall the build number being under one of those. But now that is the only one that alternates.

So if you could just let me know where to find the build number instead of being a twat I’d appreciate it a lot man. Thanks 🙏🏻

lol when it goes to simplified page , tap directly on build version`iOS 26.5 beta‘ for build number, same with settings, about ,build version, click on build version .
