What beta program does

When enabled:
  • You’ll receive notifications about beta releases in the app
  • You can opt to install beta versions before they’re generally available
  • Helps Mullvad test new features before stable release
When disabled:
  • You’ll only see notifications for stable releases
  • No beta versions will be offered for installation
Enabling beta notifications does not automatically install beta versions. You’ll still need to manually approve any updates.
