The GM might receive a patch update. There was a crash bug reported on the internet that affects all even GM build. The crash involves clicking a URL link and it will load up a website and crash the phone, causing a restart. But we shall see soon.

Generally, it is advised not to do so. For Flash storage health and also you waste a lot of time restoring everything. This should only be done as a last resort if there are issues with your device.

Also recommended is not to do a hard reset after the update.
Just leave it plugged it and let the phone do it’s thing.

If you feel that the phone is still sluggish after the update. Consider doing a reboot, not a hard reset.
If all else fails. Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset all settings.

This doesn’t wipe out your data. But resets things like keyboard preferences, alarms to the default state

If you’re asking what time it might be released.
It’s most likely Tuesday 1am (SGT).

Also thank you OP for creating this.

Funny, I got a ping on my Apple Watch saying that watchOS 5 is ready to install when I have already installed the GM build.

Not sure to update my primary phone or my spare phone! iOS 10 & 11 day 1 releases weren't really good! To take the plunge or not to take the plunge? :s22:
