IOS 10 Public Beta 1 - Am I alone?

[Trevatanus]

Installed this last night, seems ok, fresh looking update, I quite like it.
Camera and music etc much more easily accessible now.
Anyone else partaking?

How do you get on the "list" ?

I'll be checking for updates when I get home, already enrolled on the public beta program.

Sign up, you will then download a "beta" profile for the phone. Phone reboots, when it comes back, the download is available.
It's about 1.7gb ( for an iPhone 6)

I've been running the developer beta for 2 weeks, beta1 was just all bugs and made the air2 and 6sPlus unusable nearly. Upgraded to beta2 this week and a huge improvement. The only real issue is a lot of app developers still have 32bit apps so they crash.

I've downloaded the profile, silly question but what do I need to do? Everything looks the same.

eta: this is on an IP6S

Thank you, installing now. I've done the cardinal sin of not backing up before installing though

Do public betas seamlessly OTA upgrade to final release versions these days? I'm tempted to try it on one of my devices but if I have to update & restore manually in a month then I can't be bothered.

Yes, and then rapidly get replaced with the next beta release!

Have you encountered any compatibility issues with apps?

Nothing major as yet, only installed it last night though, so a bit too early to tell.

ETA: I have an ap called CM Security, which frees up space and RAM etc, which I use a lot. Just tried it, and apparently it does not work with IOS (which is 64 bit?)
That's a pisser, because you can no longer get the app from the app store, so I cannot imagine them updating it.

Not yet. I've used Facebook, photos, messaging, Mail, Natwest, Paypal & eBay

Facebook crashes 75% of the time on iPad and phone no big loss though NatWest I can logon but to view more than just my account summary it crashes. Tetris crashes occasionally and rotation is not as buggy as before but occasionally gets stuck on landscape so need a reboot.

So it does Luckily I did my transfers before updating.

Facebook is fine for me, in fact, better than before.
My biggest gripe previously, was opening links to web pages, it would just hang.
No longer the case it seems.

Just checked for update 9.3.3 PB 5...

Small thing but I like the "lift to wake" feature. I'll make lots of use of that as my default is to press the home button and with the increased speed of 6S fingerprint recognition this quite often unlocked the phone when all I wanted to do was check the screen/ time.
