Yeah I had to reboot a couple times. First my esim wasn't connecting at all. Second my silent setting for notifications was still on loud. And I had to reinstall one of my widgets that wouldn't load. Alls good now though.

Ugh, I'm not happy to report my phone is crashing left and right. I had to force reboot when the phone completely froze. And it looks like I've lost quite a few settings including lock screen and home screen settings.

I will later tonight

I keep getting crashes left and right. Messages is almost unusable right now. I have to keep completely powering off. Leaving it for a minute. Then rebooting.

YMMV, but I would hesitate not installing yet. I've been doing every beta since 10 and this is the first time my phone is almost unusable.

I've had the same issues since installing this beta. My phone seems to have settled down now after 3 or 4 reboots.

I can't open the majority of my apps. Especially messages. If anyone is trying to reach me, they can't. Chrome keeps crashing. Even just going into settings crashes. I'm legit freaking out right now. I'm going to have to get my pixel 5 working again

Ok maybe I should hold off lol

Hopefully Google fixes this beta version fast.
