Apple Beta Releases

Hello,

Iā€™m having some very strange issues with my iPhone 13 pro max running the release candidate of ios 16.1.
I had some issues which made it necessary for me to restore my device last Friday, but in doing so, I lost a bunch of calendar events, & over 2,000 pictures.
As of today, I think I got the pictures back, but my calendar events are still MIA!
How should I proceed?
Should I:
ā€¢ try to find my old backup from last Friday, restore from it & create a new full backup
ā€¢ wait until Monday, when the official releases come out, & restore then?
Iā€™m afraid that the longer I wait to do this, the chances of getting my missing data back will be greatly lessened.

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

Probably restore from a backup. I more interested what issues are you having? I'm trying to figure out prematurely if I should get iOS 16.1 as I do not like waiting too long after an update and it bugging me about it (no pun intended) unless there's a serious problem.

Hi,
As far as what issues I'm having, my facebook birthdays are a day off, & siri doesn't always do what I ask of her.
Also, when in the phone app, & in recents, if you double-tap someone's name to call them, you may end up calling the person above or below the intended one in your list because voiceover has moved focus without telling you. (As long as you're very careful, this bug can be avoided.)
I was unable to find that old backup, so will let the phone backup tonight, & restore to the public version tomorrow. From there, I'll setup as "new."
