Do you leave your VPN running overnight? Just wondering if maybe it's causing me problems.

The VPN that you see isn't something that I set up its because I'm using a "controversial" ad blocking app called Been Choice that installs a VPN on the device and routes traffics over their VPN to block ads. Even if/when I disable the app in the Content Blockers section of Settings the VPN still stays "on".

Question:Is this beta safe enough to be used as a daily driver?

Yes. At least, on iPad it is.

Question:Is this beta safe enough to be used as a daily driver?

Yes. It's quite stable on my iPhone 6 Plus.

It feels really weird that my old iphone 5 works as good as day 1 but my 6+ struggles:/

Hazır hemşerimi bulmuşum Türkçe cevap vereyim 32-bit cihazlarda daha performanslı çalışmasının sebebi 64-bit cihazlarda uygulanan metal API daki sıkıntılar. 9.2 ile bir parça daha performans artımı olabilir. 1. Beta olmasına rağmen daha memnun kaldım 9.1'e nazaran

Google translate isn't really helping me on this one. Are you saying the 32 bit devices perform better and that the 64 bit devices are in distress because of metal?

YAY!!!!!!!!!Just downloaded and there is no more of that Horrible lag in app switcher on Air 2

General rule of thumb is that you should not use Beta software as a daily driver. It is Beta software after all. It isn't complete and may contain bugs.

That said, 9.2B1, seems pretty good.

Yes it's good but apple did nothing to resolve problems with animations. For instance on iPhone 6/6+ control centre animation laggy when you open it. This also appears on 5S. My 3rd iPhone 5C perform better on A6 than 6 on A8. For many people the first thing which noticed is that animation (not all) are not fluid. This is why people complaining about iOS9.

sorry mate,i wrote turkish to a turkish member yes i said the shutters may be more on 64-bit devices because of the bugs in metal api, and that's why 32-bit devices ( 4s and 5) may be more fluid than others.

You're on Air 2.. My iPad Air is never going to be smooth again :/

Possible new bug. Tapping the Status bar no longer takes you to the top in Safari. 6s here. Anyone seeing this?

iPhone 6 here and without thei issue. Most likely a sporadic bug rather than permanent disability.

Convinced my brother to install the beta on his 6+ and the difference is night and day. App switcher is almost running at a reasonable framerate now.

I run into that occasionally since the iOS 8 days or so. Usually closing and reopening Safari (sometimes all apps) get it back to normal.

My iphone 6 on iOS 9.2 beta has begun to ask for App Store password a lot of times when updating apps or even randomly when using the iPhone,

Has anyone experienced this on iOS 9.2 beta?

I have touchID enabled for AppStore and also disabled Password prompts for free apps, if that helps.

Thanks

This happens to me when I have some downloads pending in iTunes on any device.

Major bug; banner notifications do not appear. Only notification sounds.

 

[Blaster13]

Yeah, you had 3 posts in a row with the lag thread info. (Which I 1000% agree with btw) You could have edited the first post.

I didn't know know how to the first post had a link for 8.4 in it until I edited. Still don't know how to delete a post

I've also been having this happen as well. I never had this issue in iOS
