It works the same way it worked on beta 1 and beta 2. It crashes a lot, is slow to reconnect, etc. Not recommended.

Thank U !! Its annoying that whatsapp or Apple didnt do something about it. There should be a lot of people who had to downgrade to 7.X becouse whatsapp not working..

Its a beta, of course that whatsapp(facebook) team is working and maybe they already fixed the problem but you can only get the whatsapp new version with the final release, beta is for this proposes... Testing your app so when the final release came out you update your app

i did update over air on my iPhone 5s from 8.0 Beta 2 to Beta 3 and its stuck on recovery mode. I try several programs to exit from recovery mode but it doesn't help. Sad. Please help anyone if you know any solutions.
Thanks

Happened to be too. I think my download was corrupt so I'm going to restore in iTunes tomorrow unless I find a way to avoid it.

I'm anxious to see if the resent Chinese jailbreak will work on this. When Apple says "you won't be able to downgrade", it usually means they won't ALLOW you to downgrade to a JB version!
