Apple Releases Third iOS 11 Public Beta

Been using 11 since first public beta and although buggy, it's still been very useable and hasn't crippled my phone. Downloading beta 3 right now. Seems to be moving along fairly quickly.

WIth PB1 and PB2 I noticed that messages would not receive messages from non-IOS devices. This on my WiFi only iPad 10.5 Pro. Downloading PF3 hoping that resolves the problem. (keeping my iPhone on 10.3.3 for now)

Just completed the update to PB3 and sent a text message using e-mail. It was received on IOS 10.3.3 on my iPhone but NOT on my WiFi only iPad Pro 10.5 with IOS 11 PB3.

So this bug still persists.

Same thing here, seems faster than PB2. The only thing I miss from iOS 10 is not having the ruler in Notes.

Also it seems that this version fixes the random AppStore frozen updates issue.
 
Some UI glitches fixed. Dock animation seems smoother ...
Text selection problems with Pencil in some apps seem fixed.
Looking good.

Are you also having trouble on a Verizon iPhone 7 (I suppose Sprint would be identical)? I have even restarted the phone twice now and still cannot get the update.
 
Dang it! I have to wait until I get home to install. Has anyone that DOES have it installed notice if the keyboard in + model phones change from portrait to landscape mode or does it stay as portrait regardless of orientation? Also, loving all the battery posts within minutes of the article being published.

In the past when I've done the public beta, I waited until the 3rd or 4th one. This year, I jumped right in and boy do I regret it. PB2 was much better than PB1, but is still buggy. Hopefully PB3 is a lot better. I need to remember this next year. I also need to remember to actually follow Apple's advice and backup to my computer before installing the beta. I would have gone back to iOS 10 in a second if I actually did a good backup.

I had the opposite experience—PB1 was a lot better than PB2 for me. I've been waiting 2 weeks to do this update, because my iPad has been nearly unusable for all of PB2. But based on my experience of PB1, it's the best first release of a beta I've ever used.

In this update is there a way to add photos to an album while browsing individual photos (like print, copy, duplicate options)? Having an ‘Add to album’ option would be nice.
 
I love the new screen shot functionality... but the nearly unresponsive "DONE" button in the top left is still annoying. I keep reporting the bug since public beta 1 and it still isn't fixed. It seems small, but I take probably more then average screen shots so it does get annoying.

So... I’ve been on each public beta thus far on my LTE 10.5” iPad Pro. PB1 was pretty good and stable. There were a couple quirks that I had with dictation and what not. Over all it was in good shape. PB2 felt like a downgrade! My keyboard did split screen keys all the time and screen orientation was messy at best. PB3 is a welcome addition for me and has brought everything back under thriving functionality in my iPad.

I’m thankful for the chance to continue to work with the public betas and hope that things continue to stabilize.

Pb3 much smoother iPhone 6

And I since reset Clio medianav tech calls which are since working since pb2 when Bluetooth calls stopped

Very happy

Can't find time for iPad 10.5 update happy on 10.3.3 until weekend
 
Is anyone having issues with certain pages opening in safari? I’m having on-going issues with sites such as neowin.net.

Works fine when viewing pages through an app such as Twitter but in Safari, it’s not working.

I’ve done the usual reset etc.

Public beta 2 was very stable on my iPhone 7+, but very unstable on my 9.7 iPad Pro. So buggy I didn’t install it on my 10.5. I couldn’t install the new updates yet (I’m going to do it now) but I hope this fixes my iPad 9.7

Beta 2 has been very stable on my 10.5 (aside from crashing with a certain widget on opening Notification Center). I feel like this operating system was made for the 10.5! iOS 11 has been the exact opposite on my iPhone 6.
 
My iPhone is on 11 dev., it has issues opening Apps, I tap on them and you can see it wants to open for I split second but it doesn't, sometimes it opens after taping multiple times, sometimes I have to 3D touch to open them, for instance 3D to open Settings, then I choose WIFI even thought I need something else, but it does open.

It's a pain actually, thought my 6S had the touch decease but I think this is unlucky since I get a split second animation.

Anyone has a clue what this is and how to solve this.

Cheers.
 
Just installed the latest beta on my 6S. Have to say I’ve been more than happy using this beta as my daily driver since beta 2, no show stopping bugs so far, touch wood!
 
Just installed on a 7+ phone now needs to be restored with iTunes. Might just go back to 10.3.3 to save myself the trouble.
