All apps are working fine...
but on my iPhone X (GSM version), GPS location is not as accurate as before... it’s slower to lock (when it locks) and location jumps a lot...
All is fine on my iPhone 6 and 6s Plus
Got a tip for us?

Your last statement is wrong. You are supposed to complain if the beta doesn't work but you're supposed to do it properly by reporting the bug. The point of the beta is to get a lot of people using it under different use cases and see what might break. Report your bugs!
You may already have it - take a good look at any app groups that you have as my Measure app with the developers beta 1 was buried in an "Education" group that I had previously created. ???
I used to go though the beta pain for the cool new features. But this OS release and the last one there hasnt been anything I think worth going though the "battery dead by lunch time glitchy hell" over.
Aye. but you know what i meant. Complain to Apple and whoever else has influences. But not us lot on here complaining the new BETA killed Facebook..
They won't release a Public Beta for WatchOS... you have to wait for the final or have a dev account to test WatchOS

Measure app should be there when install the OS. I had to find it by going through all my folders, but it's there... for some reason it put it in a my "fun" folder LOL but it was there.
Like a few others, I’ve not had a good experience with public betas with iOS 11 (surprise!) so I’m sitting this one out.
Does anyone know of any really good ‘everyday’ videos of iOS in use?
I.e. just a (mostly) unedited 10-16 min screen cap of its features so I can see it in action.
I’ve only been able to find over edited versions so far (ie you get a cut about every 3 seconds).

GPS issue still present on my iPhone X on iOS 12 developer beta 2 (Public Beta 1). It’s real irritating as I use it a lot.
iOS12b1 didn't fix my iCloud sync on my phone
Didn't really expect it either, just hoped.
Guess I'll have to live with it on that phone.
And if anyone wonders, the matter have been taken to highest level of the seniors and engineers.
All tests have been done.
They have no further ideas, they don't know.
I'm just happy I have my NAS to sync my calendars through when Apple fail.
Except that, iOS12 is speedy

Anyone else have problems with the iPhoneX and the Memoji? I use it for 5 minutes and my phone gets so hot that it powers down. I also have noticed a lot of crashes overall. I have an iPhone 8 that I have the beta on as well and the iOS12 is buggy with screen time and a few other things but nothing that causes my phone to crash on a regular basis as the beta does on my iPhoneX... I may backup again, wipe it and try again as I have not seen others talk about the overheating issue.
on iPhone X (GSM version)... slow lock or not accurate at all.
was getting 3-4 accuracy before... now best is 9 meters (when it locks).
I had to restart my phone to enable text message forwarding on my macs. Okay now.
Tried CarPlay last night on my '17 Honda Civic si. Worked but not well. few connectivity problems, but resolved by disconnecting and then reconnecting the phone. music worked half of the time. Play and pause didn't function either on the touch screen in car or on the phone. Had to unplug and replug the phone in to get music to play. This happened in both spotify and apple music apps.
Google maps was not available at the time of testing.

Been running it since last night and seems very stable on my 7 Plus. Faster than 11.4. Does not feel like a beta at all. If your'e on the fence, come on over.
Just to confirm, Google Maps and Waze doesn't need an update? It just works fine in Carplay within iOS 12 public beta?
GPS seems to be working fine with Strava which I use a lot for tracking bike rides and walks.
Noticed one quirk: If you use Smart invert mode when you swipe an app upwards out of the way to return to the home screen the screen dims for a moment, then goes to full brightness after. I realize the effect they are trying to achieve but it actually takes time to display the dimming, then segue to full brightness. Nobody else finds that annoying?
I notice it doesn't do this in non-smart invert mode.

Really keen on trying out Google Maps/Waze on Carplay. Wonder when Google is going to update the apps.
sorry I missed the CarPlay part...
I don't have CarPlay... so cannot test it...
But that said, GPS is a little bit messed up with this beta on my iPhone X...
