ok well I bought a phone from a member and it has beta and used it and works good now I might get another phone which probably doesn't have beta

Will I be able to use regular firmware without issue or losing any of my stuff? Never used beta before

You can't restore to an older OS. Probably best waiting until 9.2 drops, do a backup, then upgrade your new phone to 9.2 and restore to that.

Yes you can. Put your device into DFU mode and iTunes will restore to the latest public release.

As long as you have a backup from before the beta, you'll be good. If not, you'll have to start from scratch.

I don't

So what I'm asking is on this current phone can I just update to regular 9.2 and keep my info? I don't want beta, wish the seller removed it prior

Was about to trade phones with another member but I'm not gonna screw myself over and lose my stuff

Yes you can continue using the phone and upgrade to 9.2 final when it's released.
