I'm signed up for the Public Beta and was able to get the Beta 2 following the directions others mentioned.

Downloading now. As a Public Beta tester, my pet bug, which I've reported repeatedly to Apple, had been the complete failure of Swiftkey to come up whenever I do anything that equates to a share. Whether I was sharing a link or a photo or, just trying to jump across apps to a message or email, I got no keyboard at all. If I made an email draft, I could open the draft and keep working with Swiftkey, but there was a major bug with third party keyboards; in messages, there was nothing I could do, aside from Copy what I was attempting to share, and pasting it into the message.

Now that Beta 2 is live on my 5S, I am thrilled to discover that this bug appears squashed!

The next apparent third party keyboard bug I'd like to see fixed is getting kicked out of the 3rd party keyboard randomly, reverting back to the iOS keyboard. Time will tell if this update addresses that, which isn't as critical as zero keyboard functionality.

That's good to hear... I often use Swiftkey for a few days after each update (to the App) and the disappearing keyboard always leads me to disable it despite the usefulness of the keyboard. Good to hear things are improving.

Third Party keyboard problems are listed as Known Issues in the release notes so I would definitely expect further improvements before release.

I've tried most of the keyboards out there, and I'm really not impressed. I seem to recall on Android Swiftkey and Swype would finish my sentences before I even thought of them. They don't save me anytime over the stock iOS kb.
 
How do I stop receiving public beta updates? I was running 9.1 and wanted to go to the release of 9.0.1. Software update just listed 9.1 beta 2. I want to stop with the betas for now. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Weird... Try searching for profiles under settings
I did that... it gives this result but when I select it, it goes back to the above screen.

BTW for all you experiencing lag...I turned ON both Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency and the difference in performance is extremely noticeable on my 128GB 6+. Extremely. (Some have mentioned that you can turn these back off and keep the performance benefit. For my part, I like that having them ON also means increased battery life.
 
Waiting for iOS 9.2 to hint at new iPhone model names.

We have the MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac Mini
We have the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Mini
I'm thinking iPhone Mini and iPhone Pro

I mean, it sure is looking that way with Apple
 
People complaining about the Emoji need to calm down, to be honest. Lots of people like using them.

I don't mind having resources to be used to add more, but it should be a low priority.

That's like Chevy saying, we need to fix the 4G/LTE to get smoother streaming of video to the rear passengers for entertainment, but the transmission problem we can work on some other time. It's not a big deal that the car can't go above 40mph without grinding and locks out of reverse.
 
Not likely. I had the same issue on my iPhone 5S, I had to do a clean install and it fixed everything for me. I suspected whatever was corrupted was carried over to new betas as well.

If you have the same issue, you won't see this fixed by Apple. You may have to do a clean install.

I can't really do that without losing all of my Health and Fitness data, including my Watch settings. Apple have sort of made it incredibly difficult to clean install iOS and start fresh... Cause whatever I do I still need to restore from iCloud.

Or do you mean simply restoring via iTunes? In which case I can't do that at least until 9.1 is released because if I downgrade to 9.0, my iCloud backup won't restore.
 
Wasn't there supposed to be a middle finger emoji? Downloaded 9.1 and don't see it?
 
Performance on 6 Plus is better, multitasking is now almost a smooth 60fps. Everything is just better overall.
 
I wish I could have read receipts for just some people. I want my wife to know I have read her messages, but I don't want someone at work to get a read receipt.
They need to add separate profiles for personal and work. I'm tired of seeing my work stuff while I'm at home and vice versa. This would work great in that UI.
