With Beta 1 I had the same problem. With certain conversations whatsapp crashed. I noticed that it is related to the conversation. Once that conversation was deleted from the conversation list (modify - delete), I was able to chat again with the same person once I started new conversation.
I noticed that it was for example a web link that made it crash. I do not know what else (photos?).
Of course that is a pain in the butt if you have to delete a group conversation and request the admin to re invite you, but anyway that was a workaround for me.
I have not installed Beta 2 yet.
for anyone going back to 7.1.1 you'll need to delete the icloud backup on the device, if you backed up to icloud on ios 8 beta 2, before backing up with 7.1.1 again or it'll just bug & fail & give some random date a few days earlier saying thats your last backup (when its not), spent an hour resetting settings and reinstalling 7.1.1 before simply deleting the backup..it wont just overwrite it like usual
I've just had a couple of instances where I was on a call using the EarPods and I hit the sleep button so I could stick the phone in my pocket, and the call dropped. Returned me to the dialler screen so wasn't a crash. Wonder if this is now by design.
On iOS7 i used to do this all the time and the call kept going.

I agree that including iBooks and Podcasts is a bit sad because fixes to those apps will need to be adressed with an entire OS update.
One thing I like about the podcast app is that it has a built in sleep timer that works independently from the one under clock. I'd wish this function would end up in the music app when listening to audiobooks.
I sometimes forget to change between stop playing and an alarm sound when using the timer in clocks which usually results in a timer that doesn't sound when it should and sometimes sounds when i should be sleeping.

iPad 4 and 4G on EE in the UK
Just updated to beta 2.
Now iPad 4 won't make a 4G connection.
Toggle is shown and I've changed it back and forth.
Have Reset All Setting and Reset Network Settings
Have restarted
Still no go.
It's not a location issue as another device connects 4G will all bars and this iPad has always had 4G in this location. Have also tried 2 different locations.
Worked fine with beta 1

Same here on iPhone 5, EE. Weird thing is last night after updating OTA to beta 2 I had 4G. This morning I had 3G showing and toggle in settings was enable 3G. Rebooted and this changed to enable 4G but it wont connect to a 4G network.
Very annoying!

This is very odd because I am on 3 mobile and seems like 4G connection is pretty good after updating to beta 2

It worked for me last night. I am suspecting the EE carrier file was updated over night.
ios 7.1.1 was EE 16.0
ios 8 b1 was EE 16.0.2
ios 8 b2 is EE 16.0.4
Predictive Text Toggle
Apologies if this was in Beta 1. If you have more than one keyboard installed, holding down the button used for switching keyboards (on the lower left of the keyboard), now has a toggle for predictive text. This performs the same function as swiping on the grey bar above the keyboard.

FaceTime rear camera still not operating correctly. When on a FaceTime call if you tap the rear camera, the person on the other end of the call can see it, but you can't see it turn around. You just see the front facing view.

They won't be available until ios8 is released to the public and developers put them out. Apple has its own keyboard which you're using now.

If you zoom out on a Safari page on iPad (didn't try on iPhone), you now get to the new tab view in case you're not zoomed in.
I think this is quite annoying, especially if you accidentally zoom out or you want to make sure you're not zoomed in. In Apple's defense, if you pinch slowly and not abruptly, it does not go to the new tab overview.
