 The new UI 7 has started rolling out. To be sure, checkout this information below

Being a beta, expect some issues. The whole point of this beta is that you, the community, can help give feedback on issues that need to be ironed out. Giving feedback is vital for a smoother release. It's nice getting the new UI 7, but remember, this is a beta for a reason.

Do your research, be sure. 
Be sure to read the disclaimers from Samsung and understand what this is and what it is for. 


Checkout this for the information;

It is recommended that you back up your important data to keep it safe from any unexpected errors that may occur while using beta software or during upgrades.

*Certain features may not work in some apps, as below: The Google Pay app is not executable in the beta version.

*Please update your apps via the Galaxy Store after the software update. Please make sure to update the Samsung Wallet app to the latest version in the Galaxy Store after the OS upgrade.
  • The biggest issue I see showing up on the forums is Google Wallet. Please understand it may not work.
  • Banking apps may not work 

Disclamer 
"To participate in the One UI Beta Program, you will need to install Beta software. Beta software is inten contain bugs, errors, and inaccuracies or behave unexpectedly. Some software features may also be inc provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty of any kind from Samsung. Samsung expressly kind, whether express or implied. Your use of the Beta software is at your own discretion and risk, and y damage that results from the use of the beta software including loss of data. Samsung will not be liabl of or relating to participating in One UI Beta Program"

Backup your data! 
Before installing beta software, it is highly recommended to back up your data to your computer with Smart switch. Unexpected behavior in beta software can cause data loss.

Withdraw
1. To withdraw from the Beta Program, you must apply for withdrawal through Samsung Members application on your device. ("Settings > One UI Beta Program status > Withdraw" menu)

 2. To remove the Beta software, perform a rollback to the previous release version, using the Smart Switch PC Version on your computer. The rollback resets the device and removes data generated during beta testing. (If you have signed up for the Beta Program, but have not installed the Beta version software, you can continue to use the current official version after withdrawing through Samsung Members app.

* If you backed up your device data to your computer with Smart Switch, you can restore the data after the rollback process. To perform the rollback, connect the device to your computer with a USB cable. On the computer, launch the Smart Switch application, and select "Downgrade". If you need assistance having your software rolled back to the latest approved version you can request the location to the nearest Service Center

If an error occurs while installing the beta software, what do I do?
If an error occurs during beta software installation and you can no longer use your device, find assistance with resetting the device by visiting the nearest Samsung Service Center.


Providing feedback
To provide feedback on bugs or errors in beta software, in the Samsung Members application, select "Beta feedback > Send feedback.

Note: To ensure relevant log information is included in the error report, submit the report within 3 minutes of encountering the bug or error, and do not terminate (swipe away) the Samsung Members application until you are notified that the report has been sent. This can take up to 5 minutes.

We as a community are lucky to have such involvement with our devices. Being able to have hands-on experience in making the devices we know and love better is a blessing. Samsung's willingness to take feedback and thoroughly test the software, regardless of the time it takes, is commendable. To me, this is what separates money-grabbing from genuine care for a fanbase..

All information that you get when signing up.
But sadly a lot that most don't read
Basically software with bugs and some stuff doesn't work including banking apps
But feedback needs to be through the Beta forum

Also with drawing from the beta software is not without issues as well

Exactly. Most of this is quotes from what is already easily available. I hope it reaches more people making a post about it on the forums....
I think people see it as UI7 HAS BEEN RELEASED, which isn't the case.

If they don't read up when they sign up. What can you do.
Like terms and conditions, they are important information. But easy to click passed

BETA SOFTWARE CARRIES RISKS.

Please do not sign up if you simply want One UI7 before everyone else. That isn't the purpose of beta. You need to be willing to test, provide feedback, update and provide feedback throughout the beta programme.

Use Google Wallet? Usually this won't work in beta so again if this is important to you, DON'T install beta.

Some apps won't work, may experience issues. In rare cases, your device may stop functioning in some areas. So if it this important to you, DON'T install beta.

If you NEED certainty that your device will work 24/7 and you cannot be without it, DON'T install beta.

Please only install beta if you're prepared to be a tester and not just because you want One UI7.
