No. You need to install the watchOS beta profile which is only available on the dev site

Apple Seeds Fourth iOS 9 Beta to Developers

This release seems super snappy on my iPhone 5, compared to the other betas and iOS 8 for that matter.
This worked for me, not a developer. Installing right now, RetinaPad
OTA in UK for iPad & iPhone here - Dev account. Installed on iPad, iPhone downloading. So far iPad no different, fingers crossed the iPhone is ok 
Great...so where the hell is some sort of fix for Apple music lagging most peoples devices (who notice). ???? 8.4.1 beta was released last week which is bizarre enough in its own right. They dont even feel comfortable releasing x.x.1 updates without a beta first????? Gone are the days of Apple doing a few things really well. Now they do everything slightly well. Just enough for people to not jump ship.
Slightly off topic (and I apologise if this has already been posted) but one thing I've noticed in Public Beta 2 under FaceTime is the STD code shows the location of the originating/outbound call i.e. 020 7 shows London.
Ditto here on Public Beta with a Verizon iPhone 6. Weird thing is most of the time I can't use Safari to access web content EXCEPT for apple.com. Facebook app works, though, but things like Feedback Assistant for the iOS Beta won't work on LTE. I'm trying the workaround right now to get developer beta 4 that someone listed in these comments. It is downloading it right now, so hopefully that bug is fixed in the developer beta.
Unless someone already posted this, this is my situation. Since I have a spare 4S to play with, I had decided to install Public Beta 1 when it released. So, I had followed the instructions to prepare the device to install PB 1 by installing the profile. While the update was downloading, I had changed my mind saying maybe I should not install the beta. So, I stopped the beta download by disabling Wifi and deleted the profile. Rebooted the phone, connected to Wifi again, and the phone started downloading the update again. I was like, oh well, I will just let it install. So, the 4S got PB 1. After today's release of Beta 4, I decided to see what the Software Update would say, and guess what, it has Beta 4 ready to be downloaded and installed.
Looks like removing that profile before the PB 1 installed made it look like it installed developer's beta. Oh well, I will play along.
EDIT: After I posted, I saw that someone actually figured this out as well.

In this release, on my device anyway, mobile data is not functioning.
On EE UK 4G plan.
There are changes, it stopped crashing for me, shows more blurring for the bottom toolbar and status bar on top. It's also snappier and more sources are adapting Apple's News format, rather than truncated ones and also with markdown issues.
It is much improved.
The News app has improved. Better loading times and more publishers have adopted the Apple layout.
Volume buttons take photos in Camera App again
Battery icon in settings isn't squared off anymore. It matches the rest.
Notifications icon in settings has been changed to red from grey.

Yeh I'm in a bit of a panic here - hopefully a restore will solve my issues and this isn't a real bug in the beta.
I think that's a server-side change. My News app seems different today, and I haven't updated yet.
Can someone with the update install Wordament (or just load it if you have it) and let me know if it fails stop connect to the server still? I'm hoping this beta update fixes whatever networking issues were stopping games like this to stop working.
I hope this fixes some of the irritating performance issues that Beta 3 has on my iPad Air.
It doesn't. In fact, it seem a bit worse on the iPad (Air 2). About the same performance as B3 on an iPhone 6 Plus. In fact, other than what this article said was fixed, added, I don't see any of the other, more serious bugs being fixed. A disappointment so far.
It's not solely a server-side change, that cannot improve stability nor performance. The changes to the format and news are server-side.
Regardless, there are changes in this beta.
