Yeah me too. When I checked it in response to the earlier post, I was at about 5 GB. Large but not alarming. Now, 3 hours or so later, I’m at 18 GB. That’s a bit, er, unusual.

The BMI index on that thing is way off the charts. When I noticed mine, it was 5.18, now stands at 6.3. Memory leaks on this beta.
 
So far more apps randomly freezing and the occasional springboard crash. Private browsing works fine for me. Used it all day. Modem still crashes randomly, causes cell signal to go away and come back. For a daily driver, it’s a maybe. My delivery apps, doordash, Uber, caviar all working fine.

Anyone? Any hints what can be done to make it work. I also noticed that turning hotspot on (make discoverable) in control center it’s not kept. Going back and retuning to same screen the setting is back to not discoverable.

Made a screen recording but can’t upload

So it seems to be due to esim only config. There’s another thread on this.

I plugged in a sim and all went back to normal. Took the sim out boom not working. Don’t think it’s iOS 13 though.
 
I'm still having issues with FaceTime calls causing WiFi to drop and my phone reverting to 4G. This happened consistently this morning with an audio call. I'd call (or they'd call me) and after a few seconds the WiFi would drop. We'd not be able to hear each other for a few seconds while the connection sorted itself out and swapped. Even then, we'd keep losing the audio (maybe as the phone kept trying to reconnect to wifi? dunno).

So I'd hang up and the phone, within a few seconds, would reconnect back to wifi. (This is better than in B1 where the wifi would totally die and I'd have to reboot). Another FaceTime call and the problem consistently repeated itself. The only way to have a proper chat would be to turn wifi off and let the phone sit happily on 4G.

I logged a Feedback but logged it under FaceTime rather than WiFi. (In B1 I logged the issue under WiFi).

Am I the only one that this is still happening to in B2? Don't need to flood the thread with "Me Tooooo!" - just click "like" if you also have this issue.

6S and yes it was audio. We didn't try Video this morning so am not sure whether it causes the same issue.

I made quite a few Video calls last night and didn't notice this issue, but maybe it switched from WiFi to 4G without me noticing. I'll pay attention next time!

Is it stable as a daily driver?

Sorry...I don’t mean to pick on you and your question specifically but it may sound that way. I am only doing it for your own good. Really.

There are 652 posts in this thread ahead of your question that discuss - in great detail, I might add - how this beta is working on the various contributors’ devices. They discuss the negatives and the positives of the current release and that release only. Many go to a lot of effort to describe issues and others go to a lot of trouble to assist users experiencing issues. The bottom line Is that from these myriad posts, a general theme may be discerned about the general usability of this beta. A tapestry, if you will.

However, as there are infinite individual iOS device configurations out there (device, device age, apps installed, memory available, etc...), and who knows what else, everyone’s device performs differently on these betas. Some perform flawlessly. Some perform acceptably (and that is a user-determined threshold). Others perform miserably. And it’s impossible to know where any device will land on that spectrum until a beta is actually installed and running.

My point is: no one can truly answer your question, as we don’t know how your device will perform and what your tolerance is for bugginess.

Since that is the case, the best thing (and really the only thing) for you to do, is to read some significant portion of this thread. From that - and it certainly doesn’t need to be all 652 posts - you should be about to get a sense generally as to how this beta has been performing on a variety of devices. In doing this, you will see trends emerge as to the positives and negatives of this installation.

From that, you will be able to make an educated guess as to how this might perform on your device and whether this presents a risk profile you are willing to take on.

So, what I am saying is: if you are contemplating installing this beta on your device, invest the time to do a little research of your own, rather than asking a question no one can truly answer for you about your device and your willingness to accept potential problems.

Rant over!

Anyone else got no backgrounds on folders on home screen mine seem to randomly appear/disappear and sometimes only some will show. I actually prefer it when none show at all but I don’t remember this being an intended feature or present in beta 1

This happens to me, but only in dark mode with a dark wallpaper. The folders just kinda blend into the background...

Anyone having an issue to where signal is lost after being on Wi-Fi calling after awhile? I disconnect from Wi-Fi but phone remains to say Verizon Wi-Fi but I have no LTE signal and there’s allegedly one bar but I can’t make a call, text or use data. Signal doesn’t come back until I flip airplane mode on and then back off.

Edit: I had to enable data roaming. Stays connected now.

So i haven't been receiving Apple News notifications. I've tried toggling off/on settings to no avail. Anyone else having this issue?
 
This may have been mentioned, but Saved Stories and History have been moved to the top of the “Following” list in News.

Only took a year for Apple to figure out you shouldn’t have to scroll through dozens of items to get your saved stories o_O
 
Is anyone having issues with GPS not locking in your location? Regardless of whether i use Apple Maps or Waze, in Carplay, the phone cannot for the life of it, lock down my accurate location. The arrow just floats around and sometimes it locks down in the wrong location and just stays there, or will float around again and recalculate and set on another (wrong) location.
Ive had this happen before but since IOS13 is a lot more common, tying to see if anyone else is experiencing this?
Closing the app and restarting sometimes fixes it but not always.
