Hey yes I know that it’s just my client only really allows me to use the public beta I’m technically not supposed to use Dev builds and I didn’t see PB releasing as quickly for this one for some reason I thought it would come way later.
Got a tip for us?

It's still encrypted, so even though it exists on Apple's servers, they can't read the contents without your key.
Right after OTA upgrade, the space became lower with almost 3gb!
True, but before they had to try and brute force your passcode on your phone or something. And I think I read where Apple had made even that more difficult because they lengthened the time between unsuccessful attempts. Wouldn't being able to bypass that step altogether and get it directly from Apple's servers be less secure?
Day two on my daily driver and I have no complaints. Funtionality-wise, it's perfect. I've come across a few graphical bugs which I've posted here as well as reporting through Feedback but personally I think it feels more polished than 11.2.5.
Nope. They'd need to brute force it just the same, and it would take even longer, since there is an extra layer of encryption now as well. Apple's servers all have their own encryption (the keys for which are destroyed after the servers are set up - Sounds like a bad action movie but it's actually true), and your data on Apple's servers is also secured with data unique to you, like your Apple ID password (which is more secure than your pin). An entry key may also be made for each device you have's pin, so perhaps if you have enough devices that each have a different passcode, it would weaken the system, yes, but you'd need immensely many devices for that. And even then, if they weren't all using the same number of digits (4, 6 or alphanumeric), it wouldn't make a difference either way. Essentially, it's a very secure system.
And all of the above is based on how iCloud handles other sensitive data. I of course don't know their specific implementation of Messages on iCloud, but taking cues from how they generally secure iCloud, the above would hold true.
[doublepost=1516916852][/doublepost]Don't know if this was there in the older releases, but on iPad, if you hold down on "Books" in the Dock, a Recents menu appears similar to Files.
No. the thing they brute force on the device is the password, not the key. The password unlocks the key. But the password is much much shorter than the key. Brute forcing the key would take a very long time. And while apple has your iCloud password it doesn't have your key, because your key is only on your device.
Same as my experience with my X. I haven't encountered any fatal bugs but as always, YMMV.
Also, does anyone else get duplicate search results inside the Settings app? They actually fixed this in the iOS 11 beta but it came back during the final release and it's still broken. I've filed feedback on this multiple times already and no go.
That’s good to hear. I feel like 11.2.5 is better compared to 11.2.2 with ram management. This is coming from and iPhone 7 user who recently upgraded from 10.3.3 too. So the better, the better!RAM management is much much better on 11.3
Have been testing for a bit more and I can say RAM management is finally back to perfection...like it was on my 7 Plus with ios 10. Apps do not get closed automatically any more. Very happy with this positive change!
Not many people have time to do a restore for a beta. We all have busy lives and lots of data to back up/put back on.
That’s what everyone says the day beta 1 drops for any release..... give it time and it will wear down
It takes about 20 minutes with an existing iCloud backup. And you should always create backups before going onto a beta. And you shouldn't be on a beta if the burden of managing it's quirks, bugs and other issues that may occur is too big a hassle for you.
Me just deleting the developer beta profile and downloading the PB one and waiting for the next update to come through is that actually going to work? I feel like it’s not going to work for some reason...
It will. Next beta isn't till probably a week or two
Feedback app is up for this build and ready to report
