Still seems smoother and less issues on PB2 then on Beta 3 from what I'm reading

Swiping up on apps in the app switcher closes them like before!

So far, it is working much better than Beta 1. Keyboard typing is free from errors. Battery also seems to be better and more stable. However, some problems still;
1. Smart Invert still showing invert pics for third party apps like Twitter, FB and WhatsApp etc.
2. Some apps are still crashing like CamCard, Camscanner etc.

Some nice bug fixes in this one. News widget is back and is working well. Weather widget is now showing location. Swiping up to close apps in the app draw is working well now. Overall much smoother and less clunky compared to beta 1.

Battery life actually got worse for me. Battery dropped 23% in two hours without using the phone (just sitting on my desk after taking t off the charger). Decided to do a clean install and start over. We'll see how that goes.

So glad they added this back. Holding the app and tapping the x was so slow on beta 1

For the love of God, how do you remove the music app from the lock screen? The only way to remove it for me is to reboot the device.

Login to your home screen, double tap the home button, locate and swipe up to close out the music app. Now it should be removed from the lock screen.

Yeah, stability-wise it's a noticeable improvement, but my battery life has definitely taken a hit. I am going to give it a couple more days to settle out before I make a final call on the battery.

Wow what a difference a beta makes! The lag and stuttering has pretty much disappeared and battery life is outstanding on my iPhone 6.

I only used the first beta for two days on my brand new iPad Pro 10.5, so I was hesitant to try this one. I’m glad that I did – it’s a huge improvement. The screen stutter when swiping the home screen is gone and my Safari ad blocker, Wipr, is working now. Yay!

Downloading now!
Super excited!!

Re: iOS 11 Public Beta 2 available

I was waiting for beta 2 and finally did it. But now nothing works unless I’m in wifi??? Non iMessages aren’t sending out or coming in. Can’t make calls. Nothing. Is there a setting that may have defaulted to cause this!?!

Downloaded it to my iPhone 5S, but didn't installed yet.
Installed iOS11 beta1, and next day returned to iOS10.
Really want install it but I'm waiting more positive feedback...

It's still fairly early in the beta process and still a lot of issues. If your concerned, then don't load it.

Does anyone have the News widget available on their iPad? I have it on my SE running beta 2, but it’s not showing up on my iPad mini 4.

I take it the long press and drag on left side of the screen doesn't open the App Switcher? Have to double press the home button?

Yup. They removed the Force Touch of the left side of the screen.
Double pressing the Home Button is once again the only way to go.

Interesting. My battery life seems worse than with the first public beta, but the performance has improved. Since I have a battery case on my iPhone 7, it isn’t a big problem for me at this point.

Re: iOS 11 Public Beta 2 available

I’m definitely noticing a decrease in battery life on my 10.5 pro compared to beta 1. In fact I’m losing a percent every 2 minutes or so just light web browsing on 25% brightness and after a fresh reboot.
