I'm in Europe right with the US App Store, but I have yet to see a single Pokemon where I live, but the rock Gym is 3 steps from where I am currently residing. ;p

Thanks. It showed up a few minutes after I posted that last message. It's a shame there's no Watch OS3 beta but I like ios10 and Sierra so far
 
Reported new issue, safari tabs :)

I've found that the Betas work best on a spare device that's not critical to my needs. I really wanted to give feedback to Apple on the Betas, but I didn't have a spare device at the time and I didn't want to chance bricking what I had. Another thing that irked me was that Apple won't support a device with a Beta installed. So even though I had Apple Care, the Apple techs refused to help me if I had a Beta installed. I mean heck -- it's THEIR OS and I was trying to help them troubleshoot the problem!

No help from developer support?

Apple support techs haven't been trained in iOS 10 yet. It would never be their job to troubleshoot beta software.

I can do it for you. "It's a beta. Some things don't work as they should. Report it and hope it gets fixed in the next round."

The agreement makes explicitly clear the you need to install on a test device. If you choose to ignore that warning then deal with the consequences.

Do you think I should install the beta on my primary phone?? I archived the backup and purchases extra storage on iCloud just as backup. I am going out of country for a few weeks, so I will have time to play with it. I'm fine with bugs because I can just restore and go back to iOS 9. And restore from my backup and iCloud? So yes or no guys?? All I really need to work 100% of the time is the camera app. That's it

It runs smoothly on my primary device. So I would say go for it. After all you have a backup. Just make sure you don't backup your device while running iOS 10, because then you can't go back.

So your saying don't plug in your phone to your Mac once in iOS 10. But will iCloud work because I think it backed up all photos and stuff

Anyone know about watchOS 3? I got the iOS 10 beta and was hoping to get access to the watchOS 3, but the Watch App isn't finding new software available. This despite downloading the new profile and installing it on the watch and rebooting the watch.

I verified, the only profile shown in the Watch App is the beta watchOS3, but no new software available...I guess it's not released yet?

There is no public beta for WatchOS. There never has been. You can't downgrade the WatchOS if you don't like it without Apple's help.
 
I was running a beta for iOS 9.3.3. I installed the new profile and it started installing iOS 9.3.3 beta 5 instead of iOS10. I tried deleting the profile and installing again from Apple's site, but it still downloads 9.3.3 beta 5. Is there a way to force it to download iOS 10? The profile I get is not version-specific. It just says "iOS Beta Software Profile".
 
been using it as my daily driver the last few weeks. My biggest problem has been Facebook crashing and websites not 100% working. IMO, that is a very stable beta.

What do you think i should do? If something goes wrong i just restore it to an older version? And i archived my backup.

If you're not testing and not a developer. INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK. Don't be a fool and not back your phone up first :)

THIS! For the love of God do a backup. Also don't put beta software on the device that you use for being on call to scramble F-16's
