Apple Releases First Beta of iOS 11 to Public Beta Testers

I’m having problems tying to get DB 2.1 (“unable to check for update” error) and now I know why, the public beta is out!

Servers are absolutely slammed y’all.
 
Having trouble with 3d touch with respect to swiping from the left edge. It works when hard pressing on something like Settings, though. Anyone else finding this issue? 6S+ here.

Apple today released the first public beta of iOS 11 to its public beta testing group, allowing non-developers to download and test the update ahead of its fall release. iOS 11 has been available for developers since June 5, and the first public beta corresponds with the second developer beta.

Beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 11 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. Before installing a beta, make sure to create a full encrypted iTunes backup and be sure to install it on a secondary device because beta software is not stable and can include many bugs.

iOS 11 brings subtle design changes to the operating system, including a new Lock screen experience and a customizable, redesigned Control Center. Siri is smarter, has a more natural voice, and can do more, Messages features person-to-person Apple Pay, Notes has searchable handwriting and document scanning, and Music now lets you share playlists with your friends.

A new Files app improves file management on iOS devices, and for the iPad in particular, there's a new Dock, an App Switcher, and support for Drag and Drop, all of which vastly improves multitasking on the device. An entirely revamped App Store is coming in the update, photos and videos take up less space, iMessages can be stored in iCloud, and developers are getting new tools like ARKit for creating impressive new augmented reality apps and games.

For full details on all of the new features included in iOS 11, make sure to check out our iOS 11 roundup. iOS 11 will be available for developers and public testers for testing purposes for several months ahead of a planned fall release.

Everyone who's saying stuff like this, is it really that much worse than usual?

It's a BETA. That means it's very interesting, but also that anything could happen. It might delete all your data. It might kick your dog. It might hang up on your boss. And the warranty is, "if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces". Developers need to try it in order to test their software against it and make use of new features. Interested parties (that's the "public" part) can put it on spare devices to test it out and report bugs. If you're just someone who wants to play with it because it's the new shiny and you're putting it on your primary phone, well, that's running with scissors. While dizzy and blindfolded.

Just installed on my 2015 iPad Pro 12.9.
Had one bug so far.
Had the mail app split screened with Safari, opened up a mail link to Amazon, it launched the Amazon app and went into a continous loop loading Amazon.
Never saw that before.
