I lost everything. It's the first beta I've ever downloaded that had major bugs. Lost key phone functions and had to set up Smart Switch on my laptop to force back the previous update. Wasn't aware it factory wipes the device. I lost ALL of my photos. The one's that hit the hardest are the one's of my kids. Because I haven't kept up with all basic changes, I wasn't aware Samsung no longer backed those up. Thought I was saved when I saw a backup from just the day prior. Google Photos and Drive only went back so far because of storage being full for a while now. 21 months of memories gone. I believed myself to have taken every precaution to avoid this and still fell victim to ignorance.

@HunterRayHilden Have never experienced a Beta wiping a device. All Beta related posts should be made in the dedicated Beta discussion area.

Same! This is the first beta that I'm thinking I can't wait to get off this mess. Lol.
