Does Garmin monitor this Forum? Is there an actual Beta program?

It seems like we are all Beta testers anyway ... Is there an actual Beta program where we could post the issues we find and see responses from Garmin?

I guess this was already suggested at least once :(. https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/vivoactive-4-series/208494/roll-back/980060#980060

There have been Betas but it's rare. The last beta was for 5.01, which is worth downloading just for the roll back V5.0 software. Links to VA4 updates can be found in the link below. (Note that VA4s has different links and firmware)

You could email the beta team at [email protected]

ReadMe notes found in the last beta...

If you need to backdate software to 5.00, rename GUPDATE_500.GCD to GUPDATE.GCD and place the file in the GARMIN directory.
***NOTE***
Back dating software will clear all settings on the device

If you see any issues send an email to [email protected]

Yeah, I was thinking an actual beta program with replies from Garmin might exist.
