I'm really hoping that the general consensus on the betas improves so I can get onboard with my daily driver.

I haven’t tried the new beta. But I’m using the last one as a daily driver and it’s been great so far.

Do you use your phone a lot? I use mine for work a lot but I really want to try the new beta. I’m so worried something will break at the worst time while I’m working.

I’m now trying the newest beta. In my opinion, it’s the most stable beta iOS ive ever tried. Everything runs smoothly.

Yes, I’m a very heavy user of my phone. All of my passwords are stored here. Even my contacts and email I access through my phone.

I suggest that if you’re going to try installing the beta, back up everything first.

Thanks for the info! I may give it a try. Still worried though, haha.

So, did you try it?

Past week was hella busy for me work-wise. I chickened out, didn’t want to risk anything when I’m so busy and so reliant on my phone.

My wife has an old SE or (maybe SE2?) laying around that I might try first. That’s probably the smartest thing for me to try right now. I hate being so reliant on a phone for work but it can’t be avoided.

I'm running betas on everything, and it's all great over here. No crashes and the battery isn't bad either.
