Got on the beta and now my Messages.app notifications are being summarized even though I have summaries turned off.
Maybe it’s the app itself ? I do not get double notifications from any app so far…
I’m finding this beta is performing very well on my 16e. Battery life has been as good as 18.4 and I’m yet to find anything that needs reported in feedback.
It’s smooth and fast, no issues with device heating up and solid battery life.

I wonder how much days it takes for an iOS update to show up if you don't search for it yourself. I have activated Developer Beta and automatic updates but don't even get a notification in form of a red 1 on the settings icon.
My phone isn't permanently online but several hours per day and it had four days to simply download it until now.
It's even worse with the App Store. I have also automatic updates activated but I always have to search manually and then there often is nothing and an hour later there are suddenly days old updates, some even over a week. This is really annoying.
It seems you have to keep your phone online 24 hours a day that those update mechanisms really work as they should.

I’ve always put my phone on airplane mode overnight. It’s just what I do 😁
That feature wasn't available until the 15 series.
Here's instructions for the 14 and earlier:
How to check the battery cycle count on any iPhone
Want to check the battery cycle count of your iPhone? I have mentioned the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 native method, and a workaround for iPhone 14 and earlier.

I typically see reminders for General Releases about 2-3 days after they are live (as long as my devices are charged and on wi-fi). I never get notifications for beta releases, though. (Not sure if working as intended or I am just impatient.)
And I have completely given up on the App Store ever doing an automatic update. I pull to refresh and update each morning when I take it off the cgarger.

App Store updates are horrible. I just searched and got about 20, the oldest from April 2.
I definitely installed later released updates in the meantime.
With TestFlight I don't have this problem.
The last two days the phone had an active WiFi connection for almost the whole day and also was connected to power most of the time.
Then you can’t complain about not receiving updates. Those checks are typically done overnight if the phone is plugged into a charger (for the automatic installs)
Hope no one tries to call you in an emergency overnight..
I haven’t complained about not receiving updates? Anybody that has needed me has never not been able to get hold of me! There are other means.
