iOS 8 Beta 2 is much stable than beta 1, but i have observed the whatsapp is not working well as chat groups opened previously keep on crashing ?

iOS 8 beta 1 and 2 should've been able to download and install OTA instead of registering your UDID and paying for the bloody damn things.

You pay for early access compared to iPhone prices, for example, you either wait for it to be free or pay to get anything early before released. Price drops the more you wait.

Why are some able to get the update and some alright? Is it because it's really early?
