The time issue with the clock widget is its just slow, so over time it just gets further behind.. Clock widget Girl/Guy.. you had one job!! 
itsmilo, you are most definitely NOT the only person with this problem! I have this problem. I have the original iPhone SE and this problem is irritating. =-/. Unsure if it's gonna continue in PB3, as I just upgraded to it an hour ago. I reported it in the Feedback app too. Do you have a 3rd party keyboard installed? I do, but I disabled it in Settings, thinking maybe it was playing a role.. with it (Swiftkey) disabled but not uninstalled, I still have this problem.
BTW, where are you seeing the status changing? I have the Feedback app that came w/ the beta, and it looks like I can only see only the feedback that I've submitted.

Why do you keep stating "Releasing a clock...." ? This is only a beta 3 and is not released yet. Actually only the first attempt of the clock widget is this beta. Once iOS 14 is actually released then perhaps your complaint will hold water. Just sayin.
It must affected only on my iphone XS and thanks for your feedback. Im filing this error in feedback apps
Yeh.. but even in a public beta. Adding a clock that doesnt work is a bit of a strange one.. A clock has one job.. If you want (public) people to test it, its sort of got to show the right time.
Unless there is a reason the clock isn’t working and (A) Apple is testing something to see if it works or (B) They are doing something else that is causing this issue.
I have a high tolerance for a lot of the nonsense posted on these forums, but insisting that BETA software work the way you want it to is not among the things I tolerate.
This program does not exist for your benefit (during the program); it exists for Apple’s benefit so that the software that is actually released is as polished as possible.
If you don’t like those terms and conditions, please show yourself out and stop complaining here.
I don’t like the change to the weather widget. Now the only way to see hourly forecast is to use the large widget. Medium size now shows daily forecast. Also it looks like the widget is mixing Fahrenheit and Celsius.View attachment 936855

Oops posted the same thing. I’m sweating just looking at your forecast. No way I could live in DC.
It’s reverted back to hourly temperature for me.
My iPad Pro is working with them fine but my iPhone refuses to use them for audio... Tried forgetting them (unpairing) and repairing and the issue remains. Was using them a bunch the past few days before beta 3.
Yes! So glad to see someone else is having the same problem. As mentioned above my iPad has no trouble selecting them (so I know it’s not the fault of the AirPods) but my phone refuses. I’ve tried closing apps, hard resets, un/re-pairing, can’t get them to work.

Haha, Fan boiism think and strong.. Im not demanding anything.. But its like having a demo car, but by the way, you have to push it around, the motor doesnt run.. opps..
I dont have a really high tolerance for apologists.. But they are every where these days. Especially on Apple forums
They obviously screwed up, or they are trying to slow down time.. Im wondering how it got past their testing regime, they have had it in the works for some time, and they already have the normal icon working correctly. If it were a fixed amount out it would make more sense, but it is actually just moving slower.
Wait a second - how are we supposed to open the Weather app on iPad to get the widget to appear?
I've tried pretty much every beta 1 since iOS 7 and I don't remember having so many reboots in one day. My AirPods Pro keeps disconnecting every few mins on top of it. While it felt smooth and didn't have any issues with the Weather widget, the random reboots make it unreliable. Strangely enough even on the beta 1 there were no reboots to my recollection. Finally decided to wait for that public release.

There's a big difference between an apologist and a realist, especially when it comes to testing beta releases of an OS.
You do understand that for all intents and purposes, WE ARE their testing regime, right? Testing, finding and reporting issues IS why we are here running the betas. It's most definitely not an "early access" program for the new version of iOS.
Apple releases the software.
We test.
We identify and report errors and issues.
Apple investigates and fixes the code.
Rinse and repeat.

I have seen a lot of reports of random rebooting... been running iOS 14 since beta 1 and have not experienced a single reboot or springboard issue. Confirmed with my logs. Maybe I am lucky.
The reboot when using the camera in Facebook / Messenger is fixed in beta 3.
I didn't experience the Weather widget issues but the random reboots were out of hand. Going back to iOS 13.6 now.
Fair enough.. but its a clock.. You can apologise all you like.. and yeh I am a realist. again.. its a clock.. you had one job.. Cant test something that doesn't work..
Its is beta 3, not alpha 1, but maybe functioning clock is cutting edge these days.

Yes I do, I work for a Silicon Valley company.. All our clocks work in our Beta's
We also have an internal testing regime before releasing Betas. My guess is Apple do as well. Thats why ist strange that this slipped through (if widespread). As I mentioned, if the offset was linear I could understand something with timezones slipped through, but its just slower..

My clock widget on iPhone XS Max PB 3 keeps time great. I have noticed it takes a couple of seconds to update when I flip to that page of widgets but it updates to the correct time pretty quickly. So I don’t that it is a universal issue.
Shows up on the bottom of my wallet and allows me to pretend to edit (didn’t have anything I actually wanted to edit).

Works for me but when I tried it, everyone who is was suggesting I share to via Facebook Messenger didn’t have a profile picture. Just a blank spot instead. Little odd but still seems like it all works

Not having that issue here. The only thing it does is a small flash of the battery icon when in portrait mode (not landscape)

Not having issues with the weather widget but it would be cool if they had a toggle for it so we could decide if we’d rather have by day or by hour. I’d like to have the 2x4 set up by day most of the time
Anyone else’s iPhone get really hot since iOS 14? Especially during charging. Swear it never used to be this hot all the time using iOS 13.
I noticed if I set the time to CUP then it seemed to work. But any offset from here and if the Widget isnt visible time will stop, and it doesnt catch back up if you view the widget again. Just takes off from where it was.
Still trying to work out exactly what causes it, as sometimes it works as expected, and it doesnt seem to be across the board.. Something unique to a few causes it.
