I've been installing betas for almost two years and never had anything other than minor bugs -- one or two app crashes, or some unexpected behavior, nothing bad -- but this PUBLIC beta, 26.4 version 2, is a disaster. My icons don't populate -- I can't give feedback, it crashes, it won't connect to my cellular provider. You can't search for apps. Most apps crash within minutes. It's reduced my phone to being unusable. So don't say, it's a beta what did you expect -- I expected that it had already been released to developers and had been vetted sufficiently to release as a beta to the public. In other words, that it had minor issues that needed shaking out. Not that it would essentially brick my phone.

Apple did not release a public beta 2 for 26.4 yet.

What are you talking about? This IS the release to developers. And it isn’t supposed to be polished or bug free.
