If you're going to give up after one crash then beta software really isn't for you at all.

Just wait for the final release.
Thanks for the advice! I've beta tested iOS for years. But Apple Pay not working is very annoying and embarrassing sometimes if you're at the front of a long queue. I can put up with other crashes.

Sorry I skipped your post .... forgive me?
How could I not?

Apple Pay just didn't work for me. Screen just stayed dark and then the phone restarted. This seems too buggy at the moment. I'll wait for a month or so. I'm going back to iOS 9.
At this stage of beta you probably shouldn't be using this on your main phone.

I took the plunge and installed Beta 2. Working well so far. No major complaints. The mail app shows every single folder (inbox, sent, trash e.t.c...) but I can live with that.

Aside from the obviously slightly slower opening of some of the other apps, that's about all i've discovered so far that could realistically be called a "problem".

I've downloaded the iOS PB to my iPhone as it wouldn't install on my iPad Pro.

Early impressions? Seems to run faster than iOS 9.3.2. Audio playback via the AUX in my Ford Fiesta seems improved and louder without having to turn the volume up higher like I have done previously.

Not so mad on the widgets feed when swiping to the right nor the fact any Map searches can't (seemingly) be cleared anymore. Don't get me started on Music (or Health) for that matter. Even with the text size on the lowest possible setting some of the fonts are overkill!

I've noticed the keyboard isn't "active" yet, in the sense that if you're online and, for example you're writing a post on DS, you essentially just keep typing and it goes off the edge of the screen.

If you shrink the screen down enough you can still see what you're typing, but if you don't, you keep having to swipe around the screen to catch up with where the cursor is.

not a major problem but a bit fiddly ..

I can't say that I've noticed that, do you mean you zoom right in on the Message Box and then type with only a portion of the box visible? i can type into the box on my iPad and the words automatically wrap to the next line as they should and I can see all I'm typing and the cursor never disappears or leaves the input box.

if i tap the box to reply to this on my iphone, the word "if" at the start of this very sentence is hidden and keeping typing, it wraps the word "sentence" to the next line but the view stays static so i have to scroll back to the other side of the window to keep up with the cursor

Yep, it doesn't zoom out to fit the whole box in, you have to scroll around to see what you're typing. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Fairly common on betas...

That's why you shouldn't be installing the beta on your main phone.

My news and weather widgets work fine. Are you sure you've allowed them to update data in the background ?

Aha, nice one. Glad they're working. I do prefer the widget screen to the old spotlight search screen actually.

I have the same problem with News and Waether on the widget screen, both blank. Tried removing then reinstating them but to no avail. It's running on an old 5s - not sure if it's that model that's affected?

Interesting - my widgets have gone blank. I'm on a 6s and the only one that's working is the weather one.

I've got the developer profile beta 2. I can confirm that uninstalling and re-installing the apps you have widgets for does re-populate them though.
