Apple has released the first iOS 12 public beta for iPhone and iPad — which means more Memoji for the iPhone X users! This allows users who are not registered developers to test pre-release versions of iOS with new features for free (and a few bugs).
Prior to the public beta availability, iOS 12 has only been available to test with a $99/year developer account.
In terms of stability, the same warnings apply to any pre-release software so you should proceed with caution. This year specific bugs include location data being incorrect in Maps and other apps, CarPlay crashing when side and backup cameras are used, and FaceTime dropping calls when multitasking.
