Is there any hope that I can set default music app without involving Siri? I hate Siri with passion and it’d be sucks if default music app feature is locked behind it.
There's literally no other purpose on iOS for having a default music player so if you don't use Siri it's not like you would gain any functionality at all from setting a default music app.

Have this stuttering & laggy problem with whatsapp since iOS 14.4. Did a Hard Reset and everything but cant fix the problem. Maybe my iPhone 11 Pro is Defect.
Raised/flashing blacks not fixed. 12 Pro Beta 3.
Very easily seen in a dark room. In the photos app when viewing a still photo the black bars are always raised. Funny enough when viewing a DV video the black bars are true black at all times.
When watching a video in any other app, the black bars flash green when the UI overlay is summoned.
When signing in to my Apple ID (weird bug in this beta after restart) the iOS sign on screen was VERY green when its supposed to be grey.
So no change at all for me in this beta. As always, submitted to Apple.

Wifi is terrible in beta 3, it’s dropping all the time, anyone else having wifi issues
I hate to inform you guys that it does this on completely stock iOS+macOS. It's just a failed feature.
Soon after upgrading this morning, and also a few times on the previous beta, I noticed that the phone would be on 4G when I unlocked it, and it would take a few seconds before reconnecting to WiFi. I have a widget (Logitech Harmony) that expects to see the LAN, and that would fail if I switched to it too quickly.
For the last few hours, I've not had an issue so I'm wondering if it's only a problem for a few hours after upgrading. I logged a Feedback anyway, and I'll post back here if the problem returns.
After seeing your comment I have been playing with the 12PM and my wifi.
I noticed the following:
1. On wake up it sometimes takes a bit (few seconds at most) for the device to connect to wifi unlike the IPP11 which was connected on wake up.
2. On the 5 ghz band I have not lost a signal yet. At times I'll have a connection but data transfer is 0. That I found is my provider (Spectrum)
3. On the 2.4 ghz band, connection is flaky and frequently drops for short periods. This is an apparent phone issue. Not a provider issue.
No drops but reduced bars when reading news etc., go to settings, and bam, full wifi bars. This makes me think they have been playing with settings that impact power saving.
