Apple has just released a second public beta of iOS 11 to testers for download.
To get the beta you'll need to join Apple's Beta Software Program. You can do that here. The second public beta corresponds to the third developer beta which was seeded to developers on Monday.
The new beta brings a few changes including new OS X Server and Dropbox locations in the Files app, additional TV providers, swipe to close apps in the iPad app switcher, an indicator on how many messages are being uploaded to iMessages in the Cloud, and more.

The second beta hangs a lot. Do not recommend updating. Beta one is way better and more stable.

Terrible update for me so far. iPhone keeps crashing, rotation freezing, stuck pop ups on screen. Worse than the first Beta by miles. Be careful updating. I’m not sure if it’s just me or if everyone is experiencing this?

Mines does all of that too... how could they even release this... so far in the last couple of years of beta testing, this has to be the worst! I have to go back to ios10 :(

Same things happened on my iPhone 7 , hang phone during rotation , also when I increase volume button, switch off automatically, 1st beta was better than the 2nd beta. Plz tell me when 3rd beta was released?

I had same issue with Beta 3, phone bricked and downgraded to beta 2. Same issue. Downloaded Memory and Disk RAM scanner. All ram is being used in n the background. Phone runs sluggish and multiple crashes. Hope it gets updated soon.
