Okay so I was reading and it said turn beta updates off and wait for next official release which came out today 18.01. I don't see that update and its showing IOS 18.1 as my only option. Any idea what else I can do to get on official release?

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis
If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.
If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.
In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases.

Go for 18.1
If you have disabled beta updates, and the update to 18.1 appears, it is probably because your iPhone is suitable for receiving Apple Intelligence. Then update to 18.1.
Are you on the beta 18.1? If…
Are you on the beta 18.1? If so, you won't back down to 18.0.1. You'll have to wait until 18.1 official comes out later this month.
As it stands, I wouldn't worry too much as the OS is going to be pretty much exactly the same, being a release candidate so you're not losing out by being on the beta as it's as close to the general release as possible.
Personally, I'm staying on it to hopefully try the hearing aid stuff for airpods pro 2 sooner. Who knows if that will go to beta first though.
In short, just leave it switched off and you'll update later this month with IOS 18.1 official.
Appreciate this!
Well it says on the software update 18.1 beta 2 so i'm guessing im on 18.1 beta 1. So I will wait again. I really appreciate the help. I was confused.
Edit to correct. I'm on 18.0 still. I only thought that because it said 18.2 in the software update and I thought it auto updated to 18.1 because it's done that before. Sorry for any confusion.
SO just to clarify.
You've gone into setting, general, software update, beta, and turned that off,, yeah?
If not, you need to do that, I think once you go into the beta screen, you need to tap off twice, I'm not sure why perhaps it's a bug.
Once that's done, you'll only get non beta releases.
Correct
Hi Brad, yes I have followed those exact steps and turned beta off.
Ok, great
So now you'll only get non beta updates,.
