They've also noticed shorter battery life and more heat, Hope samsung provide a fix pretty quick.

@adamlee  My device did get a bit hot  late last night, have not experienced much in the way of app crashes though.

I've not had any app crashes either.

My battery has been the same on the beta as it was on stable 11 and I haven't noticed the phone getting hot. The colour theming isn't as good as I expected, it seems to choose some random colours which don't match my wallpaper at all so I went back to using hex which works ok on the beta apart from the WiFi 6 icon doesn't get themed.

I've actually noticed a significant improvement in my battery life since installing the beta. Before I would get around 6hrs 30 mins of SOT now I get close to 8 hrs with the phone set up exactly how i had it. I have my galaxy watch paired to it via bluetooth running on high processing and with 120hz refresh rate. Apart from my watch being connected I only use my phone for general browsing using my browser. I suspect the battery drain people are experiencing maybe down to some apps they are using not being optimised for Android 12 yet.
