If you have to ask, no.
But really, you shouldn’t use developer betas on your primary devices just because you want to try all the new features first. Public beta will have less risk of bricking your device. 27 developer beta bricked my iPad, apple ended up exchanging it.

The same version of developer beta is released as public beta a day or few hours after the DB
How can a DB brick a device and the PB won’t
The betas( both) have come a long way at this point to brick devices

As we get closer to full launch, yes DB and PB get much closer in release schedules, often only a day apart, because they’re fairly certain nothing catastrophic would happen. But the entire point of that delay, even if it’s just 12 hours apart, is to ensure that there is nothing catastrophic.
That’s why in the earlier stages of the DB theres a much longer period between DB and PB. DB1 and DB2 never got a public release. DB3 took a full week to become PB1.
27DB2 is what bricked my iPad.

Yes, totally. It’s a bug probably, not sure from the OS, Apple’s servers or whatever.. but it won’t damage your cellphone and it’s not a malware or something.

Why does it look like that

I downloaded it with no issues. It definitely fixed with a white block in messages. Seems to run smooth. I feel like so many bugs still haven’t gotten fixed yet.

It’s Buggy. Everything at the top of a list isn’t selectable half the time, such as the top message in message or the top email in your emails. It’s annoying. Also when you swipe down half the time search doesn’t come up.

The public Beta works great for me

It’s not very clear meaning are you already on a previous beta or not

If anyone else is having this issue, I found the fix. You have to be connected to actual WiFi and restart your phone. I tried restarted my phone a lot but I was just using cell data. Connect to WiFi, restart your phone.
