Part of the problem with cutting-edge beta testing software is that there's nowhere to turn for tech support.
I've been beta-testing iOS 10 on my iPhone for the past week. You can try Apple's latest software now too, and it will hit most people's iPhones in the fall.
So far, the biggest improvement for me has been the redesigned Music app. The totally redesigned interface was a major point of emphasis for Apple this year, and in general the app is cleaner, faster, and much simpler.
As an Apple Music subscriber and someone who spends hours per week on the app, I'm thrilled. But there's just one problem I ran into: Music was set to shuffle, and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off, no matter how hard I searched.
Turns out, I'm not the only one with the problem. A quick search on Twitter reveals myriad other early adopters desperately seeking the shuffle button:
