I am using the public macOS and iOS betas. They are buggy.

Do not enroll in the macOS beta if you have your user account login linked to iCloud, as there have been documented problems with this. My wife still can't get in to her account on our Mac; I'm hoping they fix this in Public Beta 3.

All things considered, it probably wasn't worth enrolling in the betas. I don't want to risk messing up my devices by stepping back to production versions, so I'll just ride these out and get off the beta profile when the final versions are released in the fall.

Hopefully the public betas get more stable as we approach release time.

Interesting to see the other side. I've always used the iOS betas and they've always had the usual expected bugs before say the last pre-release version, but with iOS 10, for the very first time I've found it to be really very usable. It does destroy your battery life like all betas - but it'll have so much debugging turned on and it is... well... beta! But yeah I'm loving iOS 10 (dev) beta as are my coworkers so much that we've put it on our personal phones and are really happy with everything but the battery life and the odd springboard crash every few days or so.

I've had opposite experience, prior betas were very usable, no issues, while iOS 10 has first weirdly notable bug in a "public" beta for me:

Certain Apple first party app background processes don't seem to be updating status as background tasks progress:

- App Store Updates tab doesn't show progress in the circles. Shows initial circle, appears frozen, until app is ready to open and moved to the recently updated section.

- Photos "Uploading n items" status doesn't update until changes to time stamp of when done updating or Now.

Leaving and coming back, force quitting, even rebooting, doesn't seem to cause these screens to update until background process is complete.

However, they are definitely progressing in the background as the tasks eventually finish, then screens update to show completed.

I may have spoke too soon. Yesterday I downloaded the latest iOS Public Beta (#3), and holy moly is it awesome! Super speedy, all the animations and transitions are zippy, and runs like a champ.

Still cautiously optimistic about macOS Sierra Public Beta. The latest update did fix the login issue. We'll see how it works otherwise.

iOS 10 Beta 4 so far has been near flawless on my iPhone 6s+, Beta 3 had some major battery life issues, but 4 seems to have fixed those, the phone phone seems to respond quicker than it ever has, I'm not sure if they've reduced the length of the animations or something along those lines, but it's quite impressive.

For me, the iOS betas have been fine since the first developer beta. I usually skip the OSX betas because they require use of the latest XCode which will not let me submit updates to the app store until closer to release.
