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" ?

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)

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

you didn't back up?

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.

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.

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.

Do you have to enable this? It does not seem to work on my iPhone 6?

Harrumph

You using the Beta profile?

[Trevatanus]

Facebook app seems to be rubbish at opening web page links.
It was never brilliant, but I tend to give up now.

I thought about downgrading this morning due to my banking app not working properly, I'm one of those stupid people that didn't do a backup before installing so it seems if I want to downgrade back to a fully working iOS, the phone would be reset and I'd lose everything.

Does anyone know what normally happens to beta testers when the fully working version comes out? Is it just a case of OTA updating or do we have to uninstall then install? (am I going to have to get everything off the phone to be able to use a non beta version?)

Well let's hope with the final release of the new iOS Apple managed to sort out all the fk ups they are so good at doing.

Not convinced though

Quoting myself here but i have just updated to 9.3.3 and surprise surprise, half of my frequently used apps are now fked.

Brilliant.

I think for me, unless IOS10 is more stable, i'm done with Apple.

That's why it's only the Beta, because they have not found and ironed out the bugs!
