    Is proactive working for anyone? As in the screen to the left of home. Mine is just blank. The only think I got was a suggestion to use the podcast app when I go to sleep. That was in the app switcher though.

    On the iPhone I just have a recent row of contacts I called and another row of apps I've used. The rest is blank though. Nothing on the iPad.

    Didn't work for me initially, but here's what I did and suddenly it started.

    I turned off Siri suggestions under Spotlight preferences then simply turned the phone off (not hard reset) re-enabled Siri suggestions and then it worked.

    Yeh I am seeing nothing like that. It's exactly like the search screen when pulled down.

    I have to agree, the battery life is significantly better. I have reported a couple of issues with the search function.

    Beta 1 is fairly glitchy on my 5s. Works for the most part but random reboots, apps freezing etc are a daily thing.

    One of the reports I did was the phone restarting when the alarm went off. It was like Apple were saying it was ok to now wake up!

    Just noticed that the Bluetooth is dropping connection when paired to the car system. Used to hold a solid connection on 8.3 - now audio drops and takes a while to connect again. Anyone else noticed the same?

    The rear camera doesn't work with the flash on when using Snapchat or Whatsapp.

    Anyone have the same issue ?

    If you're having issues, please report them to Apple.

    Hmm, similar to earlier, Youtube links such as in posts (not embedded) don't appear to open...

    Btw, what's the value of a public beta from Apple's point of view - is it mostly to squish bugs? Would hope they've a fairly robust internal process for doing so. :P

    I think it's to cut down on developer accounts not being used by developers, and also huge public demand for trying out this stuff. Bug reporting probably has a lot to do with it as well, because there's always the x.01 release shortly after to fix bugs, so if they can squash them for x.0 that's even better.

    Installed it aswell

    Was having a problem with the search facility and for some reason, when I wanted to send a text message, some contacts when selected caused the Messages app to crash

    Reported to Apple

    Developer beta 4 is out, so public beta 2 should be along in a few days.

    You can update to developer beta 4 from public beta 1 by removing the public beta profile, rebooting and going to software update.

    No noticeable change besides news now in the Siri suggestions page and seemingly less lag.

    Nowhere near as many testers as a public beta test going to a million people across the world.

    Battery was 100% going to bed last night, still 100% this morning. Don't think I ever had that happen before.

    Same here. Beta 4 is excellent. Fixed a lot of bugs and jumping back to the previous app is smoother now. Installing on iPad. And Watch now too.
