This is the worst beta program of all and ive done all

[becksiiana]

Im losing all the best features on my phone. I went from 3000 photos to 270. I never lost photos in any beta in the past. I cant do call background anymore. Im done with this im removing myself

Im sorry but that's what a beta is, it is always recommended to backup before each and every update

[Members_4tAopAQ]

Sorry to hear that. I haven’t lost any photos and in fact aside from a font visibility issue in the alarm app during the day, everything has been smooth

[AlTheImp]

Everything has been smooth on my end. In fact it doesn't feel like a beta at all except for one issue I ran into with My Files.

I'd say this is the most stable and best beta I've been a part of so far

It is a beta and because no serious issues were experienced in past beta runs, does not mean they will not appear in current or future betas. Anyone who signs up, agrees to the conditions, even if the beta permanently damages the phone Samsung is not responsible.  People should seriously consider getting the betas by reading the rules, conditions and the possible outcomes of using pre-release firmware, but then get results that don't own up to its current finalized firmware (as in UI 8.0).

Here is one paragraph form the conditions using the beta firmware:

"To participate in the One UI Beta Program, you will need to install Beta software. Beta software is intended only for testing purposes and may contain bugs, errors, and inaccuracies or behave unexpectedly. Some software features may also be incomplete or missing. The Beta software is provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty of any kind from Samsung. Samsung expressly disclaims any and all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. Your use of the Beta software is at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage that results from the use of the beta software including loss of data. Samsung will not be liable for any damages of any kind arising out of or relating to participating in One UI Beta Program."

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback and submitting the error report. 

Based on the system logs you've submitted, your Google Photos deleted contents on 30th of Dec with your use of "Free up Space on your device" from Google Photos. 

If you have already backed up your photos via Google Photos, then you can simply restore them. 

However, if you've deleted photos that aren't present in both Google Photos or Gallery trash and have not moved them from trash more than 60 days ago/emptied trash, then you won't be able to restore them. 

Below is the instruction for Google Photos restore/delete feature:

Free up space on your device - Android - Google Photos Help

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your support in helping us improve the Beta experience.

Best regards,
One UI Beta Team

User error you don't say 😆 everyone always quick to blame Samsung all jokes aside though that is one thing I hate about Google Photos if a person wants to delete something from Google Photos Google should at least be give us a choice if you want it deleted from your device
