## 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

<Note>
  Enabling beta notifications does not automatically install beta versions. You'll still need to manually approve any updates.
</Note>
