IOS 11.3 Public Beta 1

[Rockdog97]

If I back up my iPhone 7 Plus to iTunes and then install this Beta, can I restore to 11.2.5 if I have issues?

I think only if you dont do a new backup of 11.3? I think though if you did this via iTunes, there is a way to select which backup you want, so perhaps there is a way to restore to an older iOS backup?

Thanks, I will do the backup prior to loading the 11.3 PB. I would think that, at the worst, I would have to restore the phone to new and then load the backup.

Any one else have any input?

Yes. Make sure you backup to iTunes while you’re on 11.2.5 before installing 11.3 beta.

If you want to go back to 11.2.5:

Thaks mattguy10! How are you liking the PB? Is it stable enought to use on my daily driver?

In my X this is very stable. To be honest, every build in IOS beta has been very stable for daily use.

Thanks Truman82! Glad to hear that it is stable on your X. I have the 7 Plus.

Can’t find the new battery health feature..is it not in Beta 1?

Apple had said February

Apple had said February

Yep, heard that too...I think that Tim said that.

I think so. So when they said this would official this Spring but battery stats were coming in February, it appears they mean the beta.

Very stable so far. Can’t speak for the 7 Plus as I have the X, but you should be ok. If I had your phone, I would go for it. When iOS 11.0 beta was released, I ran it on the 7 I had at the time and had no major issues.

I think my iCloud messaging is working, but I don’t get the new option on my MacOS 10.13.3 Messages app, under Preferences, Accounts, to enable or disable iCloud Messages for the Mac. On the other hand, I get the messages on my Mac as I did before iOS 11.3.

Dang, back to this again... //uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180125/12f051f96d7523897220a2208606573c.jpg

Oh no!!!

Anyone running the beta on a 6s?

 

[Frehley]

Oh no!!!

I had the same thing and a reboot fixed it.

Good to hear...I was having issues getting the texts on my iPad Pro after updating to the PB 1. However, I rebooted and it all seems to be working fine now. And I am receiving texts as I had been on my iMac on 10.3.3...or whatever is the latest update.

[gjh1978]

So far battery has been STELLAR in this beta...dare I say almost 10.3.3 levels..using on my iPhone 7.

Hoping this stays as good.
