Developer beta 4/public beta 3 are out.

On beta 3 Safari is a little more responsive but I still have been using Chrome instead (never used Chrome on iPhone before). The drag down reply box for imessage isn't really working very well but everything else seems to run better. Emojis have shading now.

beta 3 seems a bit snappier on my iPhone 6. Other than that haven't seen many changes.

Downloading Os Sierra beta 3 on my MacBook.

I have noticed that battery life is much much better on my 6 with PB3. I'm still shocked with how stable the betas have been this time around.

One strange but I have noticed is that all of my 3rd party widgets have their text offset to the far left of their widget box instead of having that standard buffer space. Its happening with both Dark Sky and the Yahoo Sports widget.

Really enjoying the new phone app widget. Being able to add someones phone number to text as a phone favorite and having that show up on the widget has been a really nice feature.

Has anyone else used the new photos app to make movies yet? I've tried a few and they work pretty well. Nothing beats a Ring Day movie the app made, but I switched to "club music." It makes everything funnier.

I'm in love with the widget center on the lock-screen. Finally!

Also, not sure why. But Swype has never really played nice with iOS. Always a crap shoot to which keyboard iMessage would open with. Seems to have been resolved and Swype is my default for all apps.

Non-beta people are getting my digital touch messages. But then I'll close out of iMessage and they won't be there. But I've confirmed that they still show up on the receiver's phone.

Folders are super quick to open and close on Beta 4.

I like the GIF integration in iMessage. But the results from searching are terrible compared to GIF keyboard. Not sure if it's an algo issue or the library is smaller.

I have. Until they have swipe for punctuation, I'll stick with Swype.

OS Beta 4 downloading now.

I had trouble with the beta 3 downloading. I ended up going to purchases and redownloading the entire Sierra image, when it downloaded and installed it contained the beta 3 already.

Beta 4 is working amazingly on my phone

Side note: does anyone know where the iCloud Drive app went? It's not an option anymore under the iCloud tab

I just put it on my wife's old phone -- a 5 with no cellular that I'm using for a backup movie camera.

I'm having an issue where all of my pictures that I share to iCloud photo sharing aren't being rotated properly.

An example is that the photo shows up correctly in portrait mode on my phone, but in iCloud sharing they show up as landscape. It does this on both my iPhone and my iPad on iOS 10

I had the same issue with version 2 (minus the wet pants).

No luck this time. If I had to guess I would say it comes out when Apple releases an iPhone with an OLED screen. Since the Apple Watch uses OLED, I have hope for an eventual dark mode.

The new beta is very smooth so far. Installed pretty quick too since it was so small.

Got it on my iPad Air2 and its smooth as hell.

Really like the new lockscreen display with the notifications.

Not doing a lot with it but it seems to be running fine on the 5 that I'm using for video stuff only.

What specific apps are running slow?

It feels really smooth and a ton less buggy on my 6s

Photos on the Sierra beta is a lot better now, in my opinion
