5 Reasons Not to Install iOS 9.2 Beta & 4 Reasons to Do It

Don't Install iOS 9.2 Beta If You Hate Dealing with Problems

There are also some reasons why you'll want to avoid the iOS 9.2 beta right now and perhaps, for the entire duration of the iOS 9.2 beta process. 

If you don't like dealing with bugs and issues, and you aren't having any problems with your current version of iOS, our advice is to wait for the public iOS 9.2 release date. Whenever that is. 

iOS 9.2 is beta software and that means that it's going to cause problems. We're already hearing about iOS 9.2 beta issues. Here's an early list from devs:

- App Switcher - settings screen in app switcher still blank

- App Switcher - scrolling as far to the right as possible and tapping the home screen preview while holding it to the left side of the screen will make the animation jump

- iCloud Keychain - sometimes, while setting up iCloud Keychain, you receive a Could Not Set Up iCloud Keychain error. Workaround: Reboot the device

- Messages - animation missing when tapping on Edit and then Cancel (the messages will just pop back)

- Music - "Show complete album" missing when you have less than the full album in My Music

- Videos - videos with 'folw' track associations will fail to play on 32-bit devices.

The iOS 9.2 beta has a chance to improve your performance but there's a good chance it will hurt your device in some other key areas. Battery life, connectivity and UI speed to name a few.
