I didn’t decide anything on your behalf. I stated an opinion. You can still have the call feature while updating the betas. Stating you won’t update doesn’t make sense. And the whole point of beta testing is to help report bugs to Apple, when you come across them on your device.thank you so much for deciding this on my behalf, but i want the new incoming call feature.
You should expect some rightful admonition, given your attitude with beta.
You are wasting your time with betas. You should have stayed on iOS 13 if you weren’t going to update.see no reason. still on beta 1...
