Anyway to go back without losing data? Have to restore?

No issue with Whatsapp on my iPhone 6. Battery life ok too. So far daily used app that's not working are Mega and Crossy Road (lol)

Animation wise no different as I turned on increase contrast and reduced motion since iOS 8. Silky smooth after initial hour upon update.

Siri and spotlight search also turned off on my phone.

Yup did a backup and then use iTunes to restore. Point to note is that use the pc you normally use iTunes with your phone.

Tried installing iTunes newly on another pc and restore had abit of confusing as it didn't wanna restore using iCloud until I realize I shouldn't press the continue button on iTunes after restoring

Installed on my old 5s to try it out.

Phone works out fairly better when low power mode is on. Without it, I see quite a bit more lag and jitter (surprisingly).

Apps all work fine, but they do take a bit longer to load and whatsapp starts off with a black screen. Tweetbot (very rarely) causes the system to respring.

Love the new app switcher and how fast I can swipe away those apps. Search is currently nothing. Siri is gorgeous. Not sure if it's just me, but the iOS 9 keyboard seems to be much more accurate than 7/8.

Quite confident that this end release will fare way better than iOS 7 or 8 did. I'm already content with the beta.

Line chat can't delete or archive chats. Anyone facing this on ios9 beta?

Also full screen mode always have issues on my YouTube. First try doesn't go full screen and need to do a second full screen tap.

Not really related to ios9 beta but I can't find the app icon for chrome. Can search and use it but I just couldn't locate the icon.
What is the best way to find it?

Have you tried restarting it like off and on again?

Installed on 6 plus. all apps working fine, no major issues just occasion lags when opening apps.

I installed it on my iPad Air 2 and the multitasking is a game changer. My Galaxy Tab could do it but it wasn't anywhere near as well implemented. Yes there are a few anomalies in the graphics every now and then but I really do appreciate the way it just works together.

 

[limpe84]

Installed on my iPad mini 2 and 5s.

Devices seem smoother. Safari is not so laggy now. Trackpad gesture on iPad is crazy good. I quite like the new multitasking animations as well.

I see myself staying with the beta until the official iOS 9 is released.

Yes. An the icon came back.
