Installed this one. The animations in the new features like the ones on the Lock Screen are a bit buggy but phone is usable otherwise, except for the Kotak 811 app which crashes everytime

And also app icons on Lock Screen look washed out. I hope they’d fix this in the next beta

Imobile is not. PhonePe is working, so is Paytm. Don’t use other apps so can’t comment on them

When the notifications are there at the bottom of the screen even without Night light, it appears washed out

But if I pull up the notifications, the notifications don't seem washed out anymore..

iMobile, HDFC Bank, and BHIM are not working. I think most bank-related apps started supporting iOS 15 beta testing after the beta 4 release. So they might repeat the same thing this year.
