Apple releases the public iOS 13 and iPadOS betas, here's how to download and install them
Apple announced iOS 13 on June 3rd, and released the developer beta that same day. We usually have to wait a few weeks for the public beta to be released, and today is that very day, the same as last year when the public iOS 12 beta landed on June 25th.
You can now download the iOS 13 public beta for your compatible iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, starting the process by heading over to beta.apple.com. The first thing that you will need to do is enroll your devices in Apple’s beta program.

You will then want to backup your iOS device via iTunes just in case you want to downgrade back to iOS 12 and retain your data. If you are on macOS Catalina already, select your device from Locations in the Finder sidebar. Create a backup then click Manage Backups to Archive your backup.
On the new macOS Catalina, pick your iOS device from Locations in the Finder sidebar” 
Keep in mind that you should only install the public beta if you are comfortable with experiencing bugs in normal usage of your phone.
How to get the iOS 13 public beta:
Do a full iTunes backup of your data since you’re about to install beta software.
