Followed both advices and fix the issue. Thanks. So far so good with beta, other than that little glitch.
I don’t think they state it anywhere in the developer notes. So it’s all based on observations and CPU benchmark data (Geekbench, CPU DasherX). It’s definitely off for my 6 Plus.
Typically a good idea. At least for initial ones maybe b1-3. But if you are savy enough to recover if need be or not dependent on any mission critical apps its certainly fine. Apple typically wouldn't publish to public if not somewhat stable enough to do so IMO. And usually the x.x.X updates are generally pretty safe. Best to read the bug fix threads when devs get it (day or so before public testers) then decide if you want it based on the feedback.
No but its apparently already turned off by default in this beta.
Apple stated "in a beta coming next month" so the thought is maybe beta 2 or 3 it will be there. But its already off in this beta it appears.
yeah seem like its being pretty well accepted by most users so far.
Happened in the past as well. Not necessarily due to this beta as not seen other reports. However in previous betas of the 11.x branch it was common and the fix was to toggle airplane mode for a few seconds or call yourself and leave a message.
That is a great idea. I’m going to suggest that too. I hate how it’s so easy to accidentally delete a conversation and so difficult to recover it, if you can at all. They should make an archive an option like it is in Mail.
Same here!!I don't think it has anything to do with that, considering iOS 11.0 was available as a public beta as well. And those major releases always have much, much more bugs and other issues.
I'm gonna upgrade to the iOS 11.3 public beta later today. Looking forward to it! Have been doing betas since iOS 5, never had actual big problems. Except with the first beta of iOS 9, which drained iPhone batteries like hell. But overall betas have usually run pretty smoothly for me. Bit slowdowns here and there, but 'nothing I can't handle'.
My visual voicemail seems to be screwy too.
Also email notifications show even though there’s no unchecked messages.
I’ve seen good advice in this thread so far and will give them a try and report back.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!! Funniest post I have read in weeks! LMAO!!! Yeah, lets fix ALL bugs before moving forward... HAHAHAHA!!!
Silky smooth on my iPad Pro 9.7 and iPhone 6s Plus so far with the seemingly faster animations. (i)Books crashed on first opening but works fine now. Visual glitch in Messages on first opening. Adblock Plus was turned off. That’s about it for me.
iPhone 7 Plus been ok ( only installed a few hours ago ... batt life ok so far )
iPad Air 2 already frooze and rebooted whilst trying to quit an open app !
But it seems many problems with iOS 11 ...
Apple today released the first public beta of an upcoming iOS 11.3 update to its public beta testing group, one day after seeding the first beta to developers and a few days after releasing the iOS 11.2.5 update.
Beta testers who are members of Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 11.3 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on an iOS device.
Those who want to join the beta testing program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website, which gives users access to iOS, macOS, and tvOS betas. iOS betas are not always stable and should not be installed on a primary device.

iOS 11.3 is a significant update that introduces multiple new features like Messages on iCloud for storing your iMessages in iCloud, and ARKit 1.5, a new, upgraded version of ARKit that can more accurately map irregularly shaped surfaces and recognize and place objects on vertical surfaces like walls.
Four new Animoji are available for the iPhone X, the Health app has a new Health Records feature where you can store your medical records, and AirPlay 2 features are available in both iOS 11.3 and tvOS 11.3.
Other features new to iOS 11.3 include an Apple News "For You" section that displays the top videos of the day, Advanced Mobile Location (AML) for sharing more accurate location info when placing an emergency call in a supported country, and a new Privacy icon that will show up whenever Apple asks you for info. iBooks has also had the "i" removed from its name, so it's just "Books" now.
In the future, Apple plans to introduce more detailed information about the health of a device's battery. The update should provide a lot more data about battery health, and there will also be an option to let customers turn off the power management feature entirely, though Apple does not recommend disabling it.
Business Chat, which will let you interface with businesses like Wells Fargo, Delta, Hilton and Lowe's right in the Messages app is coming when iOS 11.3 is released, and improvements to Apple Music will bring better support for music videos.
Apple says iOS 11.3 will be released to the public in the spring.

I found another cool addition this morning. Any pre-ordered albums now appear at the top of your recently added when fully released instead of being buried at the date you first pre-ordered the album.
Only half a day of use and my iPad Air 2 has frozen twice and rebooted itself !
This build is very buggy
Good luck with that. That would be like asking Congress to fix all the problems with existing legislation before enacting any new legislation! lol
Saw it in a youtube video
The features are devellopped a long time before IOS 11 is released and most times have very little relationship with each other. The "bug guy" is not the one involved in those new features.
Also, a few new features are related to the Homepod so they have to get out (some think they should have gone out prior to its sale so you can never please everyone).
