Feels great on my 17 Pro but not much different from beta 2 so far as I can tell.
Safari share sheet now has a “view more” button
Team like: No, we won’t do this. Do not bother us!! You know how important an alarm and clock app is for a phone, you can do nothing.
Come on call Tim, snitch us, feel free to do it. You all can do noooothing 😅😅
Would say yes. Even B2 was fine for me.
Keyboard still not perfect but overall OS is smooth. Also on my second phone (base 13) no issues.
Getting a weird bug where Apple Music says nothing is playing when I’m listening to music
Getting more noticeable resprings on Beta 3 (a couple times a day) vs Beta 2 on 17 Pro Max but everything loads back up within a couple seconds and it’s not too much of a nuisance. Overall running smoother and the auto lock bug has been fixed which I’m very grateful for.
do the resprings occur while you're doing anything specific? I always wonder what causes this for some and not for others. I have maybe experienced a respring twice in all my years running betas.
All have happened when opening an app from the Home Screen. Mine has only one widget in the corner, a 2x2 stack with Carrot Weather and the stock Weather app but the resprings happened only when I tap on an app icon.
They’re still there for me.No emojis??
This is ongoing. I forget when it started. But it has not been fixed yet in PB3. Weather app shows my city... and nothing else. A relaunch of the app or even switching to another app and coming back to Weather fixes it.
Still not sure what exactly resprings are and since when this word came up exactly.
Does it mean reloads by some apps that were in the background?
This word didn't "come up" 🙄
It is the correct technical term of the SpringBoard process reset on iOS/iPadOS devices.

it's basically a full OS crash - screen goes black, you get the spinning gear and then it goes back to the lockscreen.
Can’t remember that I had this over all the years since my first iPhone, an Xs in 2018.
Hmm ok. Had the feeling that it came up pretty recently in some YouTube videos and the forum.
It only happened a couple times in the past 6mo (new 17PM + iOS 26) and it has only happened when I’m launching YT, normally, from the Home Screen.
I was wondering what that was because the last time a respring happened the audio I was listening to did not stop and that surprised me.
I never had a respring in all my years of owning an iPhone until iOS26. With the first 26.3 beta, the resprings were awful. I had multiple per day, every day. Beta 2 - I had a few, but it was much better. I have had 1 so far on beta 3. Each time, it is either opening an app or moving to a different screen. Nothing has been consistent. But the one thing is clear: iOS 26 is causing a lot of these resprings, and my guess is the liquid glass design is more intensive on the phone's system than before.
Sure, it could be more memory- and power-hungry apps installed on my phone, though I am still trying to get away from closing many of them (I refuse to leave a social media app open and running in the background, especially when I have NextDNS blocking all that traffic).

Suspect some of the iOS 26.x specific crashes/resprings on iPhone 17 series are mostly due to Apple’s implementation of Enhanced Memory Tagging Extension (EMTE) which can intentionally crash the app if the apps memory allocations requested secrets do not match, “If the secrets don’t match, the app crashes, and the event is logged. This allows developers to identify memory corruption bugs immediately as they occur.”
