Thanks for the quick reply. I spent a good amount of time looking for it and couldn't discover that it was hidden there, seems like bad UI design. Wouldn't it make more sense intuitively tapping on album artwork to go to the album, rather than tapping on the song's title?
The other issue I saw when tapping on a song's title multiple times (trying to look for the ratings), is that suppose you tap 5 times on song's title, it'll take you 5 times to album view, but then if you tap on the 'back' button at the top-left, you'll have to tap 5 times through the same screens which seems redundant.
There is nothing wrong with having the rating by taping the album art. Personally I prefer it since the album art takes up half the screen any accidental tap is more likely and won't take you to a whole new screen. And this new way as of 9.3 is a whole lot better to get to the album from a single song (previously it was hidden behind having to tap the "..." And then tap on the smaller album art at the top of the menu.) now no menu is needed. It's a huge welcome change.
I shouldn't be surprised anymore by these forums. There is always something to not like no matter what they do. Give an inch, take a mile.
What I'm not surprised about is Apple's prevalence of arbitrary UI design decisions that has plagued the entire Music app redesign since Apple music was released. I'm not sure why you take issue with criticism on this, the Music app has received universal criticism for its UI; this new change is another example of poor design.
Why does tapping on a title take me to album? What if I want to go to the artist? There is no way to go to the artist. I'd rather have an organized menu like Spotify's with options to go to Artist, Album or Radio, etc, it's more functional and discoverable.

The music App is still very poorly designed, trying to select part of a song on the slider for example is akin to micro-surgery on an iPhone 6. The whole iTunes/music/film system has been in need of a complete redesign forever - it all feels clunky, awkward and limiting.
I just want a simple file system where you can, for example, just have a folder named "films" and you can drag and drop there... It's one thing that's making me seriously consider moving to Android as it's something I've always thought Apple would improve on but they never do.

Please submit, I dislike the new Y-axis scales in the health app. All my data looks mostly like a straight line. The new graphs are less useful than before.
I'm having the same problem on my 6s using iOS outlook app with gmail. I cannot sync mail or read new messages while on cellular data but it works fine on wifi.
I'm also having issues with google chrome sync, what's app pictures and voice recordings, and a few other things over cellular data that work fine on wifi. Is this a global beta 2 bug??
Latest beta works great on my 6s. The odd stutter here and there, but nothing to moan about. Not that I would moan anyway since coming from a high end android device 
Yes! Having the same problem with Outlook, as well as Transit and a few other apps. Also on T-Mobile here. I submitted a feedback report and they wanted to know what carrier I had as well as when the issue occurred - so they're definitely listening. Submit feedback.
Can anybody help me get rid of the beta profile? I'm on 9.2.1 and am not interested in updating but the badge is there on my settings app annoying me anyway. There's no "Profiles" menu in my settings app.
my data usage has been stuck on "4,1 GB" for three days and it is way off anyway. according to my phone provider i havent even used 1 GB yet.
it shows 1GB for twitter alone (as if) and even a few mb on apps i dont even have mobile data enabled for

Deleting the profile does nothing to/with a pending update that has already been downloaded to your phone.
Go to Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage > Manage Storage and delete the update from the list below the Usage / Available section.
You can maybe try going into Manage Storage and check is there is a 9.3 install available to delete. Not sure if that will make the badge eventually go away though. The only other way I know of to get rid of the badge is to reinstall the profile, re-update to 9.3, remove the profile before you revert back to 9.2.1.
It happens when you revert back with the profile still installed.
Or just wait it out the 4-6 weeks with the badge and it will go away once 9.3 is of filly released.
Thanks! Did this and then restarted and the badge is gone. The update indicator is still there in settings but I can deal with that.
Not sure if this was there before but if you swipe right on the Activity app calendar view, you're shown the weekly Move Goal changes you made on the Watch.
The Activity app is also pretty buggy. The green circle often does not appear on dates I have worked out and vice versa. (I always work out with the Workout app on the Watch, no third party apps).

On my 6 plus, beta is a step down. beta 1 was very polished but beta 2 has introduced lots of stutter. The screen freezes briefly when reopening with touch id before the icons stutter back into place. Did a clean install and this doesnt seem to fix it. Beta one was super smooth though. notification centre now has jerky movement when swiping down and this is very irritating . I was really enjoying beta 1 which made my phone feel like it was new. Annoying quick reply bug in whatsapp where the keyboard freezes and stays on the phone screen till you restart . (Has been present in previous betas as well so this maybe a whatasapp issue)
Wow, I have to say, beta 2 is pretty buggy for all of you. But for me it s really close to 8.4.1 in terms of smoothness and it s even more stable. ios 8 was quick and fast but buggy and break easily but ios 9 is more stable and everything works as it should but the problem is the stutter.
That's what a lot of us have said many times over but it always gets ignored. Overall in the bigger picture iOS 9 is better and more stable than iOS 8 ever was. However there have been some that can't see that and only focus on one small aspect (the stutter) and couldn't care about anything else. Which IMO is strange because stability is far more important than fps in a couple areas.
Well... the stutter still bugs the hell out of me but I like the fact that now I can keep my music in the cloud or that icloud photo library works fine and the app thinning stuff. I mean...ios 9 has stutter and many UI glitches but it compensates with a little bit more stability and features that work. Icloud music library is a huge plus for me tho
