When you tap it, you'll see the familiar page for Apple's next beta software - like iOS 14.6 - with the ability to download and install it then and there. Instead of installing a new beta profile when Apple starts another beta program, you'll now see an "Also Available" tab at the bottom of Software Updates.

This profile contains the beta software, but also connects to Apple's servers when it's time to download and install the next update, creating a seamless process of updating to a new version of the beta. If you're running a beta on your iPhone, you likely know how things work - in order to try out new software and all the features and changes that come with it, you need to download and install a beta profile first. The update introduces an easy way for testers to update from an iOS RC (release candidate) to the latest beta, via a simple option in Software Update.

Apple released the first public beta for iOS 14.6 today, Friday, April 23, one day after the company seeded iOS developers 14.6 beta 1.
