Mine isn’t syncing Properly with some apps. Activity is not syncing, it will only pause and play music on my iPhone, but doesn’t show any song information on the watch. Mail and messages come to my watch on delay, and the watch isn’t ringing for phone calls. My watch says it’s connected, but when I try to do anything from my phone on the app, it says my watch isn’t connected but It Is, hmmmmph.
Got a tip for us?

So almost a full 24 hrs on ios11 beta on my iphone 7 plus.. So far it has been a good experience.
At first use, the apps moved about differently it kind of gave me motion sickness but eventually my eyes adjusted to it and now its fine.
Some other issues ive ran into are when force closing apps, if you have on too many open, it will get hung up on the last app you close, it wont close it and it will keep putting you into the app until you hit the home button to get to main screen and reclose the app. Last night, I could not swipe up to bring up my control center no matter what I tried, the fix was turning the phone off/on.
Apple again decided to change the way the game center login works. I was quite content with ios10 as I play clash of clans and have 2 separate accounts and it made it easier to login in to my alt account from my main. With ios11, this has made it slightly more time consuming to do so now.
I haven't really payed attention to the apple watch activities although when I loaded ios11 to my phone, it had asked if I was installing on watch and I did so and am getting my notifications and such. For my home use apps, Craftsman Garage door works on my watch, nest works great, but the August door lock app crashes.
Other than that, ios beta has been pretty smooth save for some little bugs but nothing that has prevented me from using my phone daily. I told my wife if she wanted to try, she was hesitant but I installed anyways lol, told her she would be doing good for mankind (at least for us iProduct users lol)

Same issue in garmin fenix 5
My watch appears disconected but calls and messages appears....
For the most part, Ios11 is stable for daily use with a few bugs. However there just aren’t any “new features” that are worth me dealing with the bugs for. A few of my apps don’t work properly if at all, random crashes every so often, small bugs here and there, not worth it for me. And my Apple Watch doesn’t work. Does anyone know how to downgrade back to iOS 10.3.2? I can’t access my backup because “erase all content and settings” doesn’t even work in the settings.
Here you go: http://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-downgrade-from-the-ios-11-beta-back-to-ios-10/
Keep in mind you need to connect your phone to iTunes in order to go back to iOS 10.3.2. Did you make an archived backup on iTunes before you installed the iOS 11 beta?
Is iPhone 7s working with Apple watch on the public beta? It is working great on my iPad Pro but that’s my hesitancy on installing it on my phone
Thanks I did not make an archived backup, only iCloud backup so it may not work. I may just deal with it, hopefully ios 11 gets better as the newer betas come out.
I have to say, I'm not enjoying iOS 11 beta for two reasons - Messages app changes seem for the worse, and the speed. I have 7 Plus, and iOS 11 is just plain choppy for me at times. Reminds me of an older Android phone. Has anyone else notice the occasional hiccups? Like opening an app will take an extra second, or closing an app freezes the phone for a moment, etc.
Will be going back to 10.3.3 tonight...

Not for me. Will connect to phone and give notifications at home, but nowhere else. Not updating my activity app at all.
Had my original cable that came with iPad become unsupported...!, until I replugged in the charger.
No endless, but i get them a couple/few times a day. Normally happens after clearing out older notifications.
Well for most of today I had the 'not connect' icon on the top of the watch - tho it still tracks ring activity, (series 1 stainless steel model), i was getting some notifications on it during the day, but not all. Now as of 6:30, the non-connect icon is gone - but when I check the Bluetooth setting on the iPhone, it does not see the watch, and if I go into the Watch app, and try running a software update, it searches for like 3 minutes, and then says it can't connect to the watch. So in closing - who knows what is going on here. lol

My watch is still not adding my activity to the app, although it logs it in the watch. I have the “non-connect” icon as soon as I leave my home wi-fi network and it goes away when I pull in my driveway. I only get text and phone notifications at home, too. Why I have to be home for it to be “connected,” I don’t know (although it doesn’t show up in my Bluetooth list ever). Same here on the software update thing. It’s a mystery.
I have the exact same situation. If anyone figures out anyway to fix this, let us know. My guess is that it won’t be fixed until an update fixes it.
Before I try I need to know:
Does anyone know if any Accessibility settings or features have changed or been broken?
Specifically Zoom; and AssistiveTouch (because we have several devices with broken Home Buttons here!)

Good Morning. I'm finding the beta to be mostly stable on my iPhone 7 Plus, however I do have one question...my phone seems to be turning on the WiFi automatically, regardless of whether or not it is turned on by me or not. I keep it off and it still manages to connect multiple times a day. Does anyone know if this happens to be a new feature or should I report this as a bug? Thank you!
It is still an unstable version and bugs are still present. For me this should remain reserved for developers who often use test devices.
