You’re not alone, my 12.9 iPad Pro is the same. What was new to me was the the pop up feedback report loading a sysdiagnose file, this was my first installation of the 16 betas so I hadn’t seen this before, quite convenient. So far other than this and the fact you can’t choose an Apple wallpaper for the iPads I haven’t really seen any issues, but it’s only been a few days.
Got a tip for us?

No complaints about this beta from me. I don’t think my 13 has run this smooth and well since I got the phone.
That would have def been a show stopper for me. Had I seen it prior, wouldn't have installed the beta. I upload pics of my daughter to the fam share daily. Good luck man!
Not long to wait though, b6 on mon/Tuesday

I’m having the same problem with crashes adding photos to shared albums. Also iPhone 12 (mini). Reported as well.
Does anyone else have an issue that if you invoke Siri via Siri Eyes Free (connected to car via Bluetooth only and then invoke Siri via car button) - Siri does listen to you but there are no chimes / indications that she is listening.
There used to be a ding when invoked this way that indicated that she was ready for voice commands.
this is in my 2017 Honda Accord

Does it do it when not on auto brightness? I’ve never liked @uto brightness myself as it seemed to dim at the wrong time. Thought it was super annoying. Battery life has been so good I can’t even burn thru it in a day anyway
I've notice that my 13 Pro Max doesn't turn off with the latest beta. I now need to remember to use the power button. 😁
Same here. Tap to wake is more responsive than last beta, but still gets hung up.
Don't know if this is an iOS thing or a beta thing but I'm trialing 4 different weather apps ATM to see which one I want to spend the money on and also works the best for me. All 4 of the widgets never seem to update the info, at least not at all often, temp in particular until I open the widget. So what the F... good is a widget that does not update properly? FWIW, I noticed this problem on the 15.x.x betas as well. I have location set to "always" and bluetooth is on. My biggest complaint with iPhone is the sucky widgets.
Same for me, I can add a photo if in the shared album but not from an individual photo. Interestingly it will work if adding to an album, but not shared.
Pretty much all widgets are static. One thing I really wish Apple would change.
A 15 minute poll would be a great improvement.
My battery life has not been good enough on this beta to leave the battery percentage activated at all times 😅 I could watch it drop from 74% to 62% before even leaving the bed, just reading some casual morning Wikipedia. Gives me anxiety.
HSBC finally rolled out an update. The app seems to be finally be working on the Public Beta 🙌
That's strange.
I run Hello weather, BBC and MET office - all refresh automatically no issues. If one hasn't updated, if I leave it on screen for a few seconds, it'll refresh.
Remember, weather app developers have to pay for API calls, so they try to limit them. Limited API calls mean limited widget updates. That’s one reason Apple probably bought Dark Sky… so they’d be paying themselves for the data and not someone else.
Secondly, widgets are designed to refresh on a timeline the developer gives them, which means that may be the developers' issue not Apple’s.
Finally, we’re still in beta season, so it’s a bit unfair to expect anything to behave as it will post-public release. And the developers are not yet using iOS 16 APIs.
Improvement is on the way (for certain info categories). Live Activities.
It’s not a perfect solution but a step in the right direction.
