The new iOS/iPadOS 17, WatchOS 10 and MacOS Sonoma public betas are out.

Are you going to try them? This is the first time i’m eager to try the beta, as there are so many nice small things I would like to try, but I’m not sure if this is stable enough to try it?

I'm on the same boat, not sure if stable enough for day to day use.

I use iOS 17DB3 as a daily driver. I don’t know how different the public beta build is to the developer build but I can report, apart from some widgets not displaying data, it has been very reliable so far.

Public Beta that came out today is the same build as Dev Beta 3.

Then there is nothing to fear.

Some folks (me included) are having an intermittent keyboard glitch where it disappears in apps. iMessage for me. Hoping the next build fixed it.

It’s got several severe usability bugs like the keyboard not popping up correctly and the search too hits not putting up apps your type the name of. It’s certainly usable but those will get old quick.

Guided access is broken for me as well. I have to hard reset the phone to exit lol.

It's not enough of an annoyance to downgrade or not use it though.

Thanks, that's good to hear!

yeah, all my devices are my primary ones, so hesitating a bit. but Im going for the iPadOS public beta, as I use iPad the least. So, fingers crossed its stable enough for reading :D
