How annoying. I JUST started downloading beta 2 and there's no way to cancel out and download PB3 is there?

Caught it just in time. I reset and thought it would try to keep downloading PB2, but it realized PB3 was out, now it's downloading.

So I'm still on the first public beta. To date, I have not had any indications to upgrade to a new release. My ipad 2 gave me a notification but not my iphone 6. Does it get pushed automatically or do I have to manually upgrade it? Sorry for all the questions.

Have you tried the home and power button for ten seconds trick?

I sure have. Even hooked it up to itunes to see if an update was there and nothing.

Delete the beta profile and reboot.

So under profile just delete the iOS Beta Software Profile? Will it push the new build to my phone then? I thought about doing that before but wasnt sure what ramifications I would see.

Worst case scenario, you will just have to reinstall the beta profile again. Not extremely difficult.

After doing the profile trick to download and install B5, I went back to the beta site to re-enroll my iPhone into the public beta due to PB3 and noticed something particular -- it offers an option to install a profile for the Apple Watch. Is this new?

It'll do nothing because it's an iOS beta profile. Not an Apple Watch one..

I deleted the profile and rebooted. I then downloaded the profile again and I see nothing different. Will it also say "9.0" or give me some indication that I'm on PB1 or 2, 3 etc?

If you have any watchOS profiles installed, delete them. Otherwise, I'm stumped as to why you're not getting the update.

I don't have the watch so that was the only profile installed. Really odd. I Thought it would push an update to me just like my ipad, but nothing. Weird!

I cant get my phone to show PB3 is out. It just shows PB2. I tried deleting my beta profile and reinstalling and it still shows PB2. It even showed PB2 after I deleted the profile.

A lot of people are having problems getting to this new Public Beta. I suggest just reinstalling the profile and every hour or so through out the day to do a hard reset of your device.

Also, sometimes it will see the update if you check for it on LTE/4G..
