Am I correct in thinking that the dock was supposed to remain hidden until you swiped up for it? Is that just not functioning in any of the betas?
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases Second iOS 11 Public Beta to Beta Testing Group

I was one of those who saw horrendous battery life in PB1. In PB2 it is significantly better so far. In fact I’m still at 100% while in PB1 I’d be sub 80 by now.
Of course it's not suitable for a daily driver. It's Beta software, not 'some lucky people get iOS early'.

It should be visible on the home screen permanently (it's still the iOS dock, and when app icons are on the dock they aren't anywhere else).
Within apps, the dock should only appear if you swipe up for it.
This beta is way buggier than the last. On an iPhone 7plus. Its just awful so far, kast one was much better for me.
In this beta, the Drafts app does not launch. If you constantly use that app, I would suggest avoiding this beta.
The lag has nothing to do with the processor. It’s a beta. The software is buggy.
But you act like you’re surprised by this.
I never install the first beta of anything, I will wait for the second or third. I’ve used this all day and have had only a few issues, none of which break my main driver. The most irksome thing that’s not working right is I have Siri read me long news articles so I can listen to them on my airpods while doing other things. The text to speech is majorly messed up right now. Other than that everything works fine, just a bit laggy
I also had to revert back. I had no significant bug except I couldn't charge the battery using MFI and authentic Apple chargers/cables. It displays the message like when you use poor fake cables. It charges sometimes about 20% with some cable/charger or plugged into my old MacPro, not iMac. I just reverted 2 nights ago, wish i knew it was coming out.
Usually they are the exact same. Cant recall a time when they were not actually.
So far it seems to on iPad. Not seen that issue again and got it all the time on b2
I personally dont think so but thats a personal choice. Still kinda sketchy on iPad so not installing on iPhone just yet. Nothing in there really worth it to me.
That is a springboard crash. Having the same issue on iPad mini 4.
Issue 1 is a springboard crash and seems to be happening a lot and apparently common with iOS 11 b2-b3 so far. Issue 2 , some have said to log out of app store and back in will solve that problem. Mine seems to work fine so cant say for sure if that would help.
So far that has been corrected with B3 at least for me. I was having it all the time previously. Not happened again since DP3 was installed Monday.
I've actually been using the public beta just fine without any major issues on my iPad Pro 10.5" as my primary device. Sure, there have been little quirks here and there, but nothing that has me pulling my (non-existent) hair out or cursing the day I installed it. I'm glad to be using it and really looking forward to official release so I can get my wife and daughter updated, too.
Running it on an iPad Pro 9.7 and iPhone 6S. Both daily drivers and Haven’t had too many problems. I would say it’s less buggy then the iOS 9 or iOS 10 public beta 1 or 2 from my recollection.
Interesting quirk, don't know if anyone else is seeing this, but launching Messages app "cold" (from a completely closed state, no longer in App Switcher either) gives me a blank message with no recipient info. Filing a bug now.
The UPS app works on my IPP 10.5 with the current beta.
Sorry, I don’t have the USAA app.
hoping it's just the indexing/photo album restore/rebuild process but my phone has been red hot and pretty much useless since the upgrade. note to self only upgrade at end of day next time to let it sit overnight while i don't need it. i cannot make or answer calls, text, anything. phone rings but phone app doesn't display so there's no way to see who's calling or even hit answer. fun times as my cell is my work line
and yes i know this is the risk of beta. but i've run every public beta i think since apple has offered them and never seen this behavior until this release. not expecting anyone here to fix my issue, just giving my input on what i'm seeing so folks can make an informed choice to try ios11 beta or not.

So weird... UPS crashes almost instantly on mine, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.
Just an update for you. Battery life is definitely close to normal levels again. Been using my iPhone liberally for the last three hours, and even playing 3D intensive games and its doing really well so far. Phone hasn’t gotten warm like it did with PB1. However using it with CarPlay is still a death sentence.
So yea I think it’s a marked improvement in terms of battery life over PB1, at least in my experience so far.
