It isn’t an issue when they’re in folders. It doesn’t happen all the time when an app is updated that’s on the home screen and not in a folder. Since I don’t keep a second page of apps, who knows if it’s just a page one issue or not.
What I've noticed with the 11.3 betas is that not only there's no throttling there's no power management at all. Every time when I check CPU Dasher it shows that my phone is running on max frequency. That in turn cuts the battery usage time almost to half + it wears down the battery even more.
Beta 4 resulted in Philips Hue chaos!
Straight after the update the lights would randomly switch on and off at regular intervals..... it was like a disco!
Requires a HomeKit reset and, for me, setting up the light switches and sensors again. For some strange reason, all accessories kept their names but all the functions had been removed.

This beta it’s coming off my phone as soon as I get off today battery drain is very high
I’ve got a few dozen Philips Hue lights and other HomeKit stuff and this beta hasn’t caused any issues for me fortunately!!
Must have been unlucky. I just updated the phone before heading off to bed so you can only imagine the surprise when just drifting off the lights started to Turn on and off... the Missus was not amused
The words "I nearly **** a Brick" followed by "WTF" came into use!
Yep but fast
enable low power mode for today and it will settle down tomorrow

Mine eventually came back, it's as if the X had to rebuild my entire iCloud Photo Library (yet my iPad Pro and SE did not).

I'm hoping I don't have to do that. The only things out of whack are my Switches; they're programmed correctly in the Home app and using the 'test this action' button performs the correct action, but the switches themselves are On, Bright, Dim, and Off, like they were from the factory.
I honestly think once 11.3 is out of beta, I'm finally going to get my devices off the beta train.
You mean adblock plus verison 2 i cant see that? I switched to adguard and works so far
I was thinking the same thing. An hour and a half this morning getting it all sorted out. IOS 11 is in a good position now, betas were useful after the first release but it's very stable with good battery performance so I don't really need to go down the Beta route. My wife's iP7 with 11.2.6 is running great.... that will do me!
My problem is that my 7+ and SE were on the betas before I got my X and I restored from their backup; I had to load the beta profile in order to get my data back.
I am definitely seeing less battery life in this beta.
