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 🙂

    I just tried to do this. I was able to successfully downgrade back to iOS 17 but when I wanted to recover my back up it told me I had to update back to iOS 18 beta 5. Otherwise it wouldn’t restore my data back to my phone. Any tips? It was annoying doing all of that just to be stuck back on iOS 18

    Did you put your iCloud photos settings as "Optimise iPhone Storage" or "Download and keep originals", I did not back up my iOS 17 software so I'm pretty screwed and want to retain my photos in any way possible.

    The settings are not user friendly, especially when you’re in the middle of something and you need to adjust something quickly. I don’t like what they’ve done to photos, and it’s slowed down my iPad. Fortunately, after seeing what it did to my iPad, I quickly switched off automatic updates on my iPhones and my other iPad. I just don’t know what they were thinking, making changes just for the sake of making changes.

    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.

    iOS 18 bricked by iPhone 14 Pro, don't use it. Immediately after updating to the iOS 18 beta my phone started getting super hot and auto-restarting every 10-20 minutes. And of course I can't even downgrade it because it force-restarts so often that it interrupts the process, so it's effectively bricked.
