I really want to test this beta. Is it really good compare to iOS 11.4 ?
As far as I'm concerned this is easily one of the most stable iOS betas - if not THE best - I've ever tried. Beta 1 was already great, but beta 2 seems even better! And yes, of course there are bugs. But honestly, it's definitely not as much as it was with iOS 11.4. The only 'real issue' I've been having is that my battery life sucked in beta 1. Have yet to find out with beta 2.

But apart from that... I'd say: try it! Just make sure you've got a back-up of your device in case it does come with too many bugs. You might want to carry at least a power bank to help making it through the day with certainty.

--

Again, I'm really happy with iOS 12. It was already fast and everything, but beta 2 is definitely better. If Apple keeps up this good work, then the final version is probably gonna be the most stable iOS version since iOS 6.

It’s a beta if you don’t want bugs go back to iOS 11.4 or stop complaining like a kid since you can’t use your phone properly it’s a beta what does it say when you update? DEVELOPER Beta not a public release are you even a developer to have the beta running on your phone? I’m a Apple developer and I’m running it on a second device not on my personal device since it’s a beta

Wow, you may want to reign that attitude in there fella... is that gonna be your answer to anyone who posts on a THREAD to DISCUSS a BETA?

Wind your neck in sunshine. Those kind of comments are not acceptable here. This thread is exactly for what he’s doing and as long as he is reporting these bugs to Apple long may it continue.

Someone earlier mentioned that the bluetooth icon not showing any more is a good thing. I'm not sure why; I like to know if my bluetooth is on or not. I assume it's a bug, as for me (iPhone 6S) turning bluetooth on and off to test seems to take ages and/or confuses the Settings app.

If it's not a bug, it would be consistent with the wifi radio though: If Wifi isn't connected there's no status indication to show that it's enabled.

Whoa! The other poster just reported that it’s not working well (albeit with some highly descriptive language). There was no hint of “why is this happening on a beta?” or anything like that. There are plenty of other posts that fit what you’re saying, but not that one.

Standby battery life is excellent for me on this beta. Charged my phone up before bed. Took it off charge about 1230 am. 6 hours later, it was still reporting 100% and after 20 minutes of use, still at 96% (I attribute the 4% rundown to what really occurred during the 6 hours it was off the charger).

Anyone else having trouble with Siri. It is very unpredictable, sometimes it will work and sometimes it just can’t respond, telling me “one moment” and all that.
Apple Watch on WatchOS 4 same thing.
And HomePod on iOS 11.4 is doing the same!! Don’t know why, it’s on it’s own software and Siri still can’t function.
Other iOS 11 devices seems fine and there is no Siri outage from Apple support statues.

Siri useless on beta 2 ... I’ve had “I can’t hear you” and “thinking” and very random responses... a big step back for Siri so far for me !

Same issue (only on the HomePods though, the phone and watch work fine). Did a reset on the HomePods, but no luck, so waiting for beta 3! (and left feedback of course)

Interesting. I only have a phone but some of my reminder lists have a "Show Completed" option (the ones with empty lists) and some didn't. I "completed" an item and now the option ha appeared (and shows all the items I have completed). I "uncompleted" that item and the option is still there.

Siri isn't working at all on my iOS 12 beta devices.
