@@SIT3737 I updated shortly after watching Aaron's video. I'm still running the public beta, and it is definitely usable. However, it is also definitely glitchy. I have not noticed a major problem with the battery life or the device heating up. However, control panel keeps losing icons that I add to it. Mail app seems to randomly stop fetching new emails-works for a while and then it doesn't. A few other glitches like that that I've reported to Apple. However, it has some good features that are exciting to use like the new calendar reminders integration, and the changes to the Notes app are especially useful. Once they get the control panel and mail app fixed. It's going to be great 🙂

Helped a lot! Thanks. iOS 18 public beta wasn’t particularly buggy for me but the new OS just wasn’t that much better than ios 17 so I just wanted to not use a public beta for almost no additional useful feature. Note: for me, it took some time for my phone to find WhatsApp backup from iCloud. It was quite scary for some time when it said that there were no backups on iCloud (WhatsApp). For the rest of the apps, I had to set up my phone from scratch. Only settings, contacts, photos & important data was retrieved. However, apps were not there. Maybe I did something wrong but I didn’t mind downloading the apps again.
