Hm. I'm from Australia and I just got the TV App in the latest beta of tvOS on my Apple TV. I wonder why they're giving it to people outside the US on there but not on iOS?
Also I know this is an iOS forum and not a tvOS forum, but it seems like Apple has been planing this app for a long time. The "Home" button on the Siri Remote now opens the TV app. It makes sense as to why the symbol on that button is a TV icon (Exactly the some one used as the TV app icon.) and not a house or something. Opening the TV app was always the intended function of the home button. (Okay, maybe not but still.)

The TV app seems to randomly present itself.... it's also only for people in the USA. It wasn't on my Apple TV at first and then it just popped up several hours after installing the update
My new favourite insult.
Apps are still not updating automatically on my iPhone 6S. I have tried to reset the network settings, signed out and back in to the App Store but no joy =(
This is a server side issue. They'll fix this without us even knowing. A bit like when then suddenly add new Transit locations in Maps.
Thanks for the feedback. How can this be server related and not software? Just curious...
Well you know how the App Store updates without us needing to do an actual update? That's the sort of thing I mean. Although I believe it's server side, I also believe it's an iOS 10 issue. People on iOS 9 are not having this issue I don't think.
Another example is Siri updates. Apple are always updating and improving Siri without us knowing.
[doublepost=1479210555][/doublepost]On another note, battery life has taken a hit. Definitely worse than beta 2.
I don't think that is accurate; Automatic Updates have been working as intended on my iPad Mini 4 but haven't been functioning whatsoever on my iPhone SE. I ended up just turning it off and not really missing it (granular control is nice), but still: the inconsistency is there.
The TV app has appeared on my Apple TV 4 running the current release version. My iPhone and iPad are on 10.2 beta 3 and don't have it (as I'm in the UK). Strange. Apple must be testing something. Anyone else see it in the UK on theirs?
Edit- whoops scrap that. I checked and the beta profile is still installed on my Apple TV. Perhaps it installed itself who knows.

Something that shouldn't be given dev time over bug fixes but which would be neat is if the heart in the new animation reflected what the front camera saw, so your reflection essentially. That attention to detail would remind me of the shine rotation on the controls we used to have pre-iOS7.
Is the keyboard reset working button for anyone? Doesn't seem to reset mine (7 plus) after clicking it.
For someone that has moaned since having my iphone 7 plus on ios 10 with the animation lagging, on beta 3 of 10.2 it is massive difference now its smooth and i done restore so yeah beta 3 is great and now i have hope final 10.2 will be what ios 10 should have been 
im happy
