Minecraft Preview for iOS download guide

Unlike Minecraft Java Edition, which gets snapshots that are essentially beta versions, Bedrock Edition has a completely separate game version that solely deals with pre-update releases. It is called Minecraft Preview and is available for most devices that support this edition. It is currently available on Xbox, Windows, Android, and iOS devices.

Each of these options involves a specific and distinct method of installing this beta version of Bedrock. This piece will cover how to get access to Minecraft Preview on iOS.

Steps to get Minecraft Preview on iOS

1) Find Minecraft Preview on TestFlight app

Unlike other devices that support this game's Preview edition, Apple offerings do things slightly differently for beta versions. If an application that is compatible with or available on the App Store has a pre-update release, it comes under an app called TestFlight, which handles the beta access for users.

Hence, to obtain the Preview edition of the game, you need to search for it on the TestFlight app.

2) Getting beta testing access

The unfortunate part about trying to get a Preview version of the game on iOS and Android is that it can only have a limited number of testers. This limit is not present on Windows or Xbox devices. As of now, if players are not already on the beta testing list, there is a good chance that they will see a message that says: "This beta is full."

However, the developers and TestFlight constantly check which beta testers are active or inactive in a program and can also add or remove people accordingly. Hence, players must frequently check the page to see whether an opening is available.

If one is successfully allowed to enter Minecraft Preview, they will receive an email from the developers stating that they have been shortlisted. They will also get a link that will allow them to download the latest Preview edition.

Furthermore, players must be aware that its content will contain some glitches and bugs, which Mojang will fix before the official patch comes out.
