Not yet for me. I'm hoping the watchOS update will help with this. It's painful. EDIT: As I'm typing, the WatchOS beta 4 showed up. Downloading now.
Do we finally get automatic sorting options for Reminders such as title, due date, priority? It seems like Apple engineers did not bother to test the application with more than one item in a list.
After 10 years, mobile applications have become more complex. People are working with longer documents, larger photos on mobile screens. Does it still make sense to endlessly flick your finger on screen dozens or hundreds of times in order to scroll to a specific part of a document? Did Apple bother to test the user interface with documents containing more than one paragraph? When a user slides a finger on the screen to scroll, a scroll bar temporarily appears. Why can't we just drag those scrollbars before they disappear?

My iPhone 6S locked up on the restart, and after about an hour of waiting, I had to hard reset. I started it again, it restarted after 20 seconds, and then it took about 3 minutes to start up. Now all looks fine.
It was an update from Beta 3 to Beta 4.

I'm still stuck on the Apple loading screen.. I tried to do a reset, but all I'm getting is i"Phone will reset after update is complete" message..
Sorry maybe you guys are right. I always figured it was you release a beta to find out what issues pop up from beta testers experiences and fix them for next release. Not release a beta with known issues or a new beta before fixing all the known issues. I guess it makes sense in a way because you can't get them all fixed that quickly.
You have to reset your sync data in the Apple Watch app to get it to work. It takes ~10 minutes (or at least mine did) but then contacts showed up again. I also hadn't noticed that my watch's calendar was a bit wonky, too, but that seems like it's fixed now.
by hard reset, you mean Restore in iTunes?
nvm - forgot home+volume = hard reset these days

Those things are not mutually exclusive. It's both, really. They release software that is 'good enough', to start to get feedback on things they might not have found yet ... while still working on things they know need to be fixed. Because, yes, if they waited until they think it's perfect before releasing a beta, they'd get overwhelmed with all the stuff that got uncovered. Better to have it be a slow burn that they can manage resources and time expectations more effectively, rather than an explosion at the end that ends up being an unworkable mess.
You don't need to update to the next WatchOS beta to fix the problem... resetting the data sync alone does the trick.
Soooooo I had to reinstall the Beta Profile from my Developer account, now OTA is working. Just in case this is helpful to someone else.
Awesome. My contacts are synced now as well. However, all I did was update and it worked. What a relief.
Does anyone have no cellular data after this update? When on Wifi, data is fine. When on cellular, I get nothing! I have AT&T, full bars, can make phone calls but no cellular data. I reset network settings, rebooted, toggled on/off cellular data... and still nothing.
developers pay for the right

iPad Air iPhone X and iPad Pro all no issue installs

no but Mac OS Mojave is now out for public
I don’t know why everyone complaining you know why its a beta right
being a developer version and that there is access on the developer page to forums and notes on release I don't know why they complain here either unless they torrent for the beta and have no access to Dev portal
