I did notice that the weather widget keeps returning to giving me Cupertino weather (that's not where I live) if I select "current location". Same issue with DB1 & DB2. That's honestly the only issue I have noticed so far though.
Got a tip for us?

Interesting. Beta 1 and beta 2 the features worked and updated fine with some known quirks. The new weather widget seems to have already incorporated some of the Dark Sky acquisition tech and saved me from getting rained on a few times...
Here come the folks who complain that something doesn't work right, not understanding what the word "beta" means.
really they just want people to catch the bugs. It's what testing is for. Also, it's related to the dev beta, which is to focus on developers getting their software up to the latest version.
Sounds like you need to stay on the regular release
Exactly I would of guessed they would’ve at least waited til beta 3. I am not installing the public beta bc of the huge other storage issue
if it's a backup phone, I would if you're curious - but
1) backup phone to iCloud (or computer) before installing the profile
2) download profile and install and have fun and please use the feedback app.
3) if it's too buggy, remove the profile, reset your phone and and restart with your backup.
lucky! For me the weather app itself doesn’t even work for me anymore. Like it doesn’t refresh the weather for anything but my current location. All I get is a - under each city. Happened 3 days before the end of beta 1 and continues on beta2
Not sure who needs to do what, if you think that Apple is not aware of the bugs related to the new features in the current build. As a developer, I just shared my opinion, which is that the beta release does not seem suitable for public beta. Of course, it is up to Apple to decide what and when they want to ship, but this is why we have this forum - to share our thoughts and to possibly help people who are not sure if they want to install the beta now or to wait a little longer. Not sure what's wrong with that. Sounds like you need to be more respectful to others' opinions, when using a public platform like this one.really they just want people to catch the bugs.

So public beta 1 is the same as beta 2, but it is the third time Apple releases a beta for iOS14 so that would technically make it Beta 3.
hmmm 🤔 I’m confused
I am still waiting for MacRumors.com to post new article that "macOS Public Beta" is ready. See screenshot attach:
"The Apple Beta Software Program is now available for macOS Big Sur."

In the update panel it says Big Sur, but in the download panel it says Catalina 10.15.6 PB 2. Not sure what I'm downloading right now.
Edit: Don't think it's out, yet

Just make a backup on iTunes and it'll downgrade to 13.5.1.

SE second gen or first gen?
I wonder if I can use this to get my 2-hour battery life down to 1 hour or less.
Most stable iOS in years.
Can't fault it, running the Dev version on my main iPhone.
No issues with apps, (even my bank which is unusual).

Great! Downloading now on my primary phone and hope the bank apps will continue to work. I haven't got so excited about an iOS release in a long time and couldn't wait for the final version. So will be first time using a beta iOS. Let's see.
