From MacRumors front page:

Settings might unexpectedly quit when attempting to open Siri & Search settings if FaceTime, Mail, Maps, or Voice Memos have been uninstalled. If this is happening, Apple suggests installing the missing apps.

Might this be related?
For those having issues, have any stock apps been uninstalled?

Thank you. I think that helped.

Had Voice Memos uninstalled. Reinstalled and it works again. Thank you so much!

Are you installing each beta as new or updating. If you are updating then I’m not surprised it’s getting slower. You are stacking beta software.

I’m pretty sure that’s not how updates work. To go from beta 5 to beta 6 you aren’t at “stacking” as much as you are “overwriting”. I never do fresh installs for each beta and my iPhone X isn’t getting slower on each beta.

Diagnostic files and other beta files are indeed stacked. That is why Apple recommends a fresh install once you plan on leaving the beta program. The diagnostic files can grow to tens of GB after 3 months of beta testing. All of which remain on the device and add bulk and clutter.

Update: installed voice memos can confirm so far no crash, I have lots of uninstalled app but those 4 in list have on phone now.

This worked for me, as well.

I still have Maps and FaceTime uninstalled, but once I installed Voice Memos the Settings app no longer crashes.

Bluetooth just intermittently shuts off and comes back on.

I don't think Apple has every recommended a fresh install once you leave the beta program. The GM version of iOS ends up deleting diagnostic/debug files and for major version updates it's a complete OS reinstall that essentially overwrites everything except for user-specific files.

That’s provided you stick through the beta program until the GM is released. If not, you must downgrade.

There are two ways to downgrade iOS, via a DFU restore or “option+update”. Apple recommends the former, and then restore you archived backup. The latter retains diagnostic files. I’ve been doing this for years and have experience with using both methods.

After installing the beta, only 3 apps showed up on mines. After a few minutes, more apps showed up so maybe check again to see if it cleared up.

Reset all settings didn't fix it either. uggg. I did try to turn off screen time 1st to see if that would clear it. No dice for either. Oh well just a visual annoyance and most likely will get resolved at some point.

Why is the Public Beta always behind the developers? Today Beta 6 was released, I was prompted to download Beta 5. Why is that ? Thanks
 
App Store simply refuses to load anything on a WiFi network, no issues with cellular data.
