Anyone else start using the iOS 10 beta?
I installed the phone & watch betas last night. I'm really digging both so far. I'm a ginormous advocate of jailbreaking and this is the first stock system that I don't hate. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of things to fix, but it's pretty enjoyable so far.
What are your favorite features?




Excited to test it out! Maybe I'll do that today :)
How do you get the beta?

I'm on it, no big issues besides random Springboard crashes and the locking up of the app drawer at times.
Watching for the Public Beta release!
Yes, I've been using it for a couple of days now.
Don't have favorite features yet, but I DO like the new notification style with it's larger text blocks that are easier for me to read without my glasses! :)
I was also pleasantly surprised to discover the new feature in Maps that remembers where you left your car at the end of a route. I had used Maps to navigate to a new restaurant in DC, and a few seconds after I got out of the car, I received a notification from Maps that showed a map with a pin dropped at the location where I parked.
Pretty Cool!
I was also happy to discover that you can now 'delete' some of the built in apps, like Compass and Calculator.
On the downside, the lock screen is totally mangled with the Now Playing text and controls directly underneath the current time, making the whole screen a big mess.
Oh, well! It's a beta. :)
Noticed any huge or every-day-use breaking bugs yet? I've always been curious of the beta-program, but never really gotten to the point where I actually install a beta.
I'm having an issue where I have to press the home button to unlock my phone. It's a little sluggish, but other than that it's totally usable on my 6+.
EDIT: Guess it's not a bug, it's a feature: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2016/06/15/ios-10-press-home-to-unlock/
First big (for me) bug I've run into is that the backup to the local computer no longer works. iTunes starts the backup then chokes a few seconds later with a message that the phone disconnected unexpectedly. I still have pre-10 backups so I'm not too worried.
Sounds just like those small wired bugs that they will get sorted until the release of iOS 10 :) Is the iCloud backup still running?
