They touched on this during the keynote but I haven't seen many folks posting about it. How was your experience with the transfer? Very cool feature I think.
I didn’t use it because I wasn’t aware of it and, hence, I had my previous iPad already formatted. At least, it recognised there was another iPad close by as I configured mine.
Not sure why the hidden album shows up for me. Tapping into that shows all the photos I’ve hidden.
I have distinct albums that I used to categorize photos—RAW, for example—that I hid from view but, as you described, those photos are no longer showing up and appear instead only in that hidden album.

I used it to set up one of my phones. It transfers settings like wifi, etc.. then you get the prompt to set up from existing backup or new. I had no issues with it.
So I installed PB3. I realize it's still setting itself up and formatting things all that... but sheesh, 10% drain in maybe 10 minutes since I unplugged after the upgrade finished.
I’ve experience the same bug in iOS 10. I only upgraded the iPad with PB3 but I would not there use a beta on my iPhone.
Not sure it happened using my Beats solo 3 but twice it happened with my AirPods. My guess is a bug between the W1 chip protocol and the iPhone as both AirPods and Beats3 use them.
It will get better overtime. My first 24h were bad, followed by “normal” battery in the next cycle and now I think battery life has actually improved from iOS 10.
I did, however, change the White point setting... less brightness, less power
For me it's literally the complete opposite. It runs amazingly well on my iPhone 7 Plus, and it's much better than beta 3 for me.
I hate when that happens! You know, press the same button 5 times in a row, "accidentally".

Go for it. It is great with no major bugs, as told. Very stable.
I am still not getting notifications for mails received in favorited folders (All Betas- 4, 3, 2, 1)
HSBC India app did not go past first screen on beta 3. Works fine on beta 4.
QuickBooks Online app crashed big time on the "Dashboard" screen on beta 3. Does the same on beta 4.
Overall, some apps have started working better (read: as expected) in beta 4 versus beta 3. That'a always a good thing.
That was fixed in b3 and Apple included links to get the ipsw file for 10.3.3 beta. Now its been updated since 10.3.3 was officially released. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203282
This is in the beta 4 release notes:
Phone
New Issues
• The call history list in the Recents tab does not update immediately, which can result in
the second number in the list being dialed when the the first number in the list is selected.
Saved contacts are not affected by this issue. (33094744)
No not the iCloud backup. If you have backed up to iCloud while on iOS 11 that will not restore back to 10.3.3. You need an iTunes backup prior to ver 11. OR you can try the shift/update method and use the iOS 10.3.3 ipsw file. That used to work fine but no idea if still does with 11 or not.
My mistake... I'm new the forum...I just figured the Mac community should be aware of an issue I had...and how to fix it.
Someone talk me out of installing beta 4, not long downgraded from beta 3, is the battery any better???
I’d wait until reports on DB5, which may be released on Monday, August 7. Battery life is better on DB4, but not significantly.
Is it just me or has the font in Reminders and Notes been changed in iOS 11? I don’t have an iOS 10 device to compare to so I can’t be sure. But it’s defnintely not the San Francisco font Apple has been using since iOS 9.
