Not just backup but backup to iTunes and make sure it’s encrypted & archived

Make sure the backup is encrypted so that it includes Health & Keychain data and avoids asking you for 10 different passwords after restore.

So far I’ve found the Big Sur Beta to be quite a bit more unstable than iOS14 has been. Granted that they are both beta’s. These are my findings, other milage may vary;
- Safari is way to buggy to use (crashes out on webpages)
- Music force-quits every five minutes it seems
- The clock widget is still broken, the second hand resets each time you close and re-open it
- MS Teams has not integrated well at all (Granted not Apples fault) and is hard to use
Other than that it looks and feels amazing, and I’m sure that the Public Beta will resolve most of these issues, or at least the next version will.
NOTE: You shouldn’t install a beta on your main device unless you’re prepared for things to go wrong and face issues regularly. You Should if you’re ok with that and want to help feedback the issues and get them resolved.

Just a warning note about Beta’s
You won’t be able to restore a phone to iOS 13 backup from iOS 14 beta so ensure that you’ve backed up before you switch over and make a note of the time and date so you can select the right one later when you’ve reset the phone fully

This only works if the backup is encrypted (to make sure you don’t lose health data and passwords) and archived (to ensure it’s not overwritten the next time you connect your phone to the computer)
And needless to say but if you update then have to restore you’ll lose all your data since the last backup

I should probably do a back up anyway, thanks for the reminder.
If you’re using iOS 14 on your daily driver I would not update to dev beta 3 at the moment. There seems to be some weird behaviour where Monzo is functional when in the foreground, the minute it’s put into the background it crashes 
Can anyone else replicate?

I’m not seeing that specific to beta 3.
But, for months (maybe even a year), I randomly get crashes from Monzo TestFlight when the app isn’t open.
Same happens with opera TestFlight so, not sure how it works and maybe it’s coincidence, but I’ve put it down to some sort of TestFlight issue.
Possibly! I wasn’t experiencing it on previous betas. It’s happening consistently at the moment every time I close the Monzo app.
Edit: you are correct! No issues with the App Store version

I’m seeing the same.
It seems whatever Monzo tries to do when iOS tells it to go to sleep is making it shit the bed.

There’s been a bug going around for a bit that invokes FaceID when quitting Monzo from the multitask screen. Is this what is happening?
Trying to find the thread now…
Edit: found it
Seeing it here. On TestFlight version. No issues (so far) with anything else.

Nope don’t think so! I’m not quitting Monzo just putting the app into the background, makes it crash instantly on the latest TestFlight build (but all OK on App Store build)
It’s not just me then

The App Store version is probably crashing silently in the background instead of giving you the TestFlight crash alert prompt.

That didn’t even cross my mind, you’re probably right!

Oh damn. That makes sense.
Same issue . Installed the App Store version for now. Doesn’t crash as much as it does with the test flight version
Yes same problem here. The App is fully functional, just that it crashes when I leave it.
I’m on TF and Dev Beta 3 on an iPhone 11 Pro.
FWIW - I’m actually pretty happy at how stable both the Dev Beta’s and Monzo have been this year, compared to iOS 13

I’m happy with iOS14 and Monzo - it at least works compared to last year 
The one bug I’m experiencing, but I don’t think it’s beta-related is that when I send an email from Outlook via the mail app, sometimes when I come back to the app it shows as draft again. I distinctly remember sending, but it’s not in the sent folder and shows as a draft. Same happens online – but I bcc’d my partner as a test and they got my email.
Does anyone experience this? Is there a way to solve it?
