No issues here. I recently switched to Fitbit watches after 7 years of Android Wear & Wear OS. One of the reasons I didn't enroll in Beta 2 was concerns about my new watch and the Fitbit app since I am still learning and getting used to the app, watch, etc. But with Beta 3 my watch has stayed connected 100% and no issues with the Fitbit app.

So, I received the little update today and installed and the problem was solved. I did submit a bug report and I suppose enough people were having the same issue that they acted on it FAST. I was having issues with other Bluetooth devices and those issues seem to be resolved as well. I will keep you guys posted.

For such a small update it does take a while.

All the updates, large or small, take a long time, for sure. Google's way of letting us be free to use our phones in a normal way while the updating is going on.

New bug -- I think. Facebook for Android does not load all pictures or posts. I see large grey gaps between posts. I have to force stop it and clear the cache and then it will work properly.... once. When I go back into it the same thing happens. Hard to say if the Android update or a Facebook update caused this due to the timing of the two, but I don't know anyone else (not on the beta) that is experiencing this.

I do like the new Android 13 music player on the lock screen, and the music player in the Notification area. The way it displays in the notification area looks much better now IMHO, it takes up more space of the available empty and doesn't look so squished.

Probably just not optimized for A13 yet. I had drone software that refused to load. These apps should be ready by the time 13 is out of beta.

I'm not in the beta program and am using the standard OS and it's the same for me on my 6P. My wife's S10 sees it as well. Facebook bug, not OS

A new and useful feature in Android 13 Beta that I really like is the "Copy, Edit then Paste/Save" feature (not sure what to call it). I've used this feature many times to copy some text or URL, add my comments to it, save it, and then paste it in a thread, Twitter post, etc.
I checked my wife's Pixel 4a on Android 12 and that feature doesn't appear to be on her phone.
