Installing iOS 10 beta will allow users to test most of the updated or overhauled apps like iMessages, updated Apple music and Lock screen widgets. Since iOS 10 beta is still a public beta program, it is expected that there will be some bugs.
MacRumors reported not to use the iOS 10 beta to your planned installation device. Rather if you have an extra device that you want to experiment on, then you can do so. The iOS 10 beta is actually stable to use and there are still a lot of apps that will be available for iOS 10 soon.
For instance, third-party extensions are available especially those that are not yet available on the App Store. Airbnb, Bank of America, Facebook, Camera+ will also be updated to iOS10.
