Hi folks - I'm a public beta tester (my wife loves it when I 'brag' about being a beta tester - she's always like, "You are??!!"
Anyway, is anybody else having Spotlight problems? Every build, I swipe left and often I do get options, BUT the search is bad. It just waits and waits and wait. I usually have to go straight to Safari or Chrome to actually search. I've modified my Spotlight preferences so that it'll only search the most important apps. I have a lot of contacts and 7 email addresses being fetched. Overall, I love 9.1, but I'm not loving Spotlight not working consistently enough. Help!

Go to beta.apple.com, sign up, enroll your device. Then download the beta profile on your iPhone, let it restart. Then go to software update in general settings and public beta 5 will show up.
don't forget the delete the beta profile before you restore from backup if you want to go to non-beta version.
When Emojis are features in a changelog it means something is terribly wrong.

Beware you could have problems but so far this is tested pretty well.
Just downgraded from iOS 9.1 b4 to iOS 9.0.2, couldn't see hows calling on mij Apple Watch, back on iOS 9.0.2 it's back.
go to settings, you will see a profile section. It only appears if you actually have a profile installed.
You mean dumbs down the TSMC chip?It'd be funny if this beta "equalizes" any inconvenient differences between the two versions of A9
I don't see anything new. Maybe some wallpapers, but I am not sure if they had been there before...
I signed up for the beta program and am risking it. I'm going to iceland shortly and I don't want to be stuck using IOS 9.02 while there since I'll be using the camera heavily. I've already missed kodak moments with this thing while on 9.02 - any speed up will help.
Does it support transit maps in Boston or any of the other cities slated for October support? Just curious about what the holdup is, and if it is dependent on the release of 9.1...
What's this about separate build numbers for developer and public? I'm on public and had/have 13B136 for PB4. Was that special for 4, where they weren't different? Confused...
ETA: Looks like these don't really exist... got the same 'short' number when updated to PB5.
