Exactly, not a daily driver for sure. I have used earlier betas as daily driver with minimal app disruptions, but ios11 has been a bear. Total cluster*k as a daily driver. Disappointed.Yes, I‘ve updated my post a moment agoOkay ... I go back to the latest iOS 10.3.3 Beta. iOS 11 beta is not ready for daily use. (Important Apps always crash, very bad battery life)
Got a tip for us?

Yes. My first beta test was iOS 7 Beta 1 and I‘ve tested many betas after that ... iOS 11 is the worst beta I‘ve ever seen. I don‘t unterstand why apple started the public beta so early.
Me too, iOS 11 beta 3 feel much more stable and usable than beta 2 on my iPad Pro 9.7 & iPhone 7+
Something in the new AppStore seems start to update. New games and apps just show to me. Still not updated the homepage.
I only briefly experimented with this yesterday, but as far as I can tell it works reasonably:
- Turning wifi "off" from the control centre disconnected my iPad from the wifi network it was connected to and prevented auto-rejoining (no other wifi networks were available).
- Turning wifi back "on" from the control centre reconnected the iPad to the wifi network it was previously on.
I've had this problem since Beta 2 on my iPad. I can actually get the Join button to enable, but once you press it it just stops responding. I've had to kill the settings app to get back into it.
Very frustrating not being able to connect to my corporate network, but hey, it's a beta.
Reset all settings worked for me, but know the problem is back. Not gonna reset again so will wait for another fix.
I didn’t waste time erasing settings. I erased all content and settings, and restored from iCloud. Haven’t had the problem again on my phone and battery drain is no where near as bad. Still not optimal, but it’s a beta.
Getting very intermittent alerts regarding notifications. Just a few minutes ago, I received a text message and a notification from the Amazon app at the same time. iPhone 7+ screen lit up, but no sound was played to alert to the text message or notification. Now technically, since I have a connected apple watch, it shouldn't, but the apple watch did not notify me either, but when I tapped on the watch to show the screen, it lit up and instantly showed the notification, but never received the vibrating alert/sound on the watch. If I hadn't been looking at the phone, I never would have known I had a message and an app notification.
Yet, about two hours ago, I did a hard reboot, and when it booted back up, I received to text messages from this past monday (which I had already seen and received) on the phone, with full sound & vibrate (but nothing on my watch).

One observation and a question about the new Bluetooth toggle and the AirPods.
What I like about the new CC Bluetooth toggle is that it allows me to quickly disconnect the AirPods while they are in my pocket without the case, so the phone doesn’t direct sound through them while I’m not listening to them. Seems this toggle works a bit more quickly and efficiently than the previous Bluetooth off function.
My question is, has anyone else noticed that the Bluetooth symbol in the top bar is always solid (never gray) even when AirPods are in the case? Not sure if this is a bug or if they are just getting rid of the grayed-out option.

Been noticed and reported. Looks like a bug rather than a feature as it still flashes when completely switching it off and on again.
I am, but it just looks like iOS 10. I've tried using it in YouTube and the TV app. Still the same.
Is it just me of is beta 3 so much more buggy than the first ones? I get random lockups (screen just freezes then does the spinner). Battery life less, etc.
[doublepost=1499964731][/doublepost]Much worse for me now. I was happy with beta 2.

I am with you! The battery life killed it for me as well. I will continue to watch the forums and when a more stable PB is released - I will go back. I am pretty tolerant, but I cant stand charging my phone multiple times in a day!
I have found that if the Profile is installed in iOS 10.3.2 or 10.3.3 and then the phone is updated with iOS 11 without restore or setup as new, then the profile works alright and network connectivity is established without problem.
