With builds that do not show properly with the developer/beta profile installed, it does the same thing when you remove the profile. It's normal behavior.Weird, I have the beta profile and beta 6 installed and is asking me to download the full update. Isn't the same as beta 6? Maybe it isn't.
I rarely do hard reset unless the device is behaving unexpectedly. A normal reboot should suffice. Like whsbuss said, backup your device before the update too.
Hard reset is equivalent to unplugging a computer from the wall while it's running because it froze solid, or pulling the battery out of a laptop while it's turned on. I suspect most people don't uncleanly power their other computers down after an update, so it's interesting that they do it to their phones.
I remember way back in the iPhone 3G days, there were rumors that hard restarting your phone three times in quick succession would clean out all these caches and stuff. Probably those rumors are the reason why people still do it.
I used to hard reset my 3G sometimes because I didn't really know any better, and ended up with an hour long boot once (stuck at the apple logo...eventually it booted up and it never happened again). I suspect it ran a filesystem check because I'd been uncleanly dismounting it with those resets.

I still have the Apple Pay icon in the apps drawer in messages...and it still doesn’t work for us UK users. Why would it still by there? It’s on my iPad too.
Edit: Any one else in the UK seeing it?

Except...
You can do a full encrypted backup in iTunes to preserve your health data in case the upgrade goes wrong.
Edit: ignore me, I’m wrong. iOS 12 introduced iCloud health data backup/storage

Screentime has been buggy since day one for me. Family screen time never worked. Turning it off and back on would for when my step-daughter is away visiting family had to make you completely start over. Fine tuning it for different days is a great idea.
You can yeah. iCloud Backup also backs up your health data, so if you use iCloud Backup you're in good shape. You don't need an iTunes encrypted backup for that unless you want to use iTunes to back your device up.
Trying out News+. Even though I signed up for my free month, I keep getting the "Try it free!" screen preventing me from reading content. Anyone else?
, but unable to set it up.
@Banglazed OP says 2018 instead of 2019. Just letting you know.
First person to actually point it out
Did anyone try out News+ yet? I can’t get magazines to show up in recent after I read them, and there doesn’t appear to be a way to explicitly delete a magazine after you download it for offline use.
Doesn’t seem like a great start if everyone is having this issue.

Oh, cool. This update also enables the fake 5G-E network identifier for AT&T.
Nope. Not even if I click more at the end.Thanks. Not in your drawer at all, even if you scroll?![f0ae50333fef6c3f0470ac9d5fc30dc1.jpg]()
Been seeing it for ages too, but unable to set it up.
Right thanks. So I’m not alone with this then. I was beginning to wonder if it’s because I was messing about with a VPN a few weeks ago and set my phone to USA. Have you done anything like that?
