Apple Seeds Second Betas of iOS 13.1 and iPadOS 13.1 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

I found CarPlay to be unusable in 13.1b so I also hope b2 brings better stability mine was hooked into Mercedes MBUX system won't know until I am back home tomorrow if its better
Yeah, got the update for my 2019 RDX too, but it still happens far too frequently. Seriously disappointed in this supposedly technologically advanced car. It's like it's constantly vying with CarPlay for control. Just shut up and disappear into the background already!
I would bet ridiculous amounts on this being incorrect. Thankfully, that statement is ridiculous in itself because I am just some dude in the internet. Regardless, iOS 13 GM will never officially exist and new phones will immediately prompt for a 13.1 update post phone setup.
Then you've been lucky I guess. The betas of iOS 13 have been awful, many apps simply don't work, Apple apps crash on launch occasionally. Even 13.1 B1 is nowhere near ready for release IMHO, it's horribly buggy. There's not much time to fix all of them either at the rate they've been going.
I ran through the public betas last year for iOS 12 and don't recall it being nearly as flaky as 13 has been - on the same iPhone X I am using this year.
YMMV.

The fact that you may be having a problem does not mean everyone is having the same problem.

Why? Working just fine here, and working just fine for plenty of other people. Like any software there are latent issues, but not to the extent to prompt "scary thoughts"
Having problems with Apple Music playing on my current XS Max, Apple Music starts playing after for example a call over my airPods without my permission, just a short dropdown UI that dissapears so quickly and the App isn't even open. It also turns on my car radio and does the same thing, music starts playing but the Music App isn't open. This isn't a beta problem, is it ? Does anyone else have a similar issue?
You already have 13.0 GM installed.

Might as well be predicting whether it will rain on July 2, 2040
(I only use iCloud Drive very casually, and while it's worked 100% for me, I won't talk about its stability since I'm not a heavy user of it.)
But, I use Mail quite heavily across half a dozen accounts. The only bug Mail has had for me over the last several betas has been a bit of a lag between the Unread messages count and how many are actually unread. Even that has gotten better, but could still be improved.
But that's it. It's hardly a 'huge toxic hellstew of bugs'.
No one reads anything, and they expect it to work just like a release.
13.0b8 has been exceptionally stable for me. Beta 1 and 2 were really rough. 3 was better, but still rocky. From 4 on it started gelling.
I would fully expect 13.1b1 to be less stable than 13.0b8. Possibly a lot less stable. There shouldn't be any expectations that 13.1b1 would be more stable than 13.0b8; just the opposite.
I have noticed when using the Radio function in Apple Music, it will play 2 songs or so, then go and repeat those same 2 songs over and over. This has happened in 3 different vehicles with multiple pre-set stations (Hard Rock, Classic Rock, etc). Anyone else seen this too?
I had that issue with one of the later 13.0 previews, but I don't think I've had it on 13.1 yet.
What, how did you get more than two? This is the second beta of 13.1 not iOS 13. That release is done.
Why would you expect that? 13.0 was awful, it's like they gave up and jumped to 13.1 instead. 13.0.x was never going to be a viable release from what I could see. I would expect a .1 release to be an improvement over .0, not a step back.
