Around the beginning of October our beta opt-in level declined significantly and has stayed at the new level. Did we change the UI? Just curious.

Eek... is that when we switched from toggles to mw-ui checkboxes on the settings page? :-/
It looks like taps on Settings haven't changed (in fact, they've gone up), but both opt-ins to beta and turning off images took a hit. If that's around the time that the checkbox change went live on enwiki and other big projects, that might be the culprit. Can somebody double-check?

Possible :/ The change went live with 1.25wmf1[1], which was released to Wikipedias at 02. Oct 2014[2]

Yeah, it looks like I signed off on the card for this change ( https://trello.com/c/65fIifaP/40-bug-69487-special-mobileoptions-checkboxes-...) on Sept. 23rd, which means the changes went live on the first week of October.
We should probably investigate what the usability issue is with this. I suspect it might be the combo of height of the checkboxes and the relative smallness of the save button at the bottom of the page – since the checkboxes take up the full screen on most phones, even the longer new iPhones, people probably aren't getting to/using the save button.

It could actually be a usability improvement.
It's possible people were misunderstanding the effect of the images button (prior to the changes it had no label and confusingly defaulted to ON) and thus re-using the form to correct their mistake once they realised all their images had vanished. Note the change is only 400 submissions of the form not 400 less users in beta.
In the month of October, 2005 people turned images off at the same time as turning beta on [1] In September, 2424 people turned images off at the same time as turning beta on [2]
There were also 188, 741 saves to Special:MobileOptions in October [3] compared to 195, 980 in November so it could also be some kind of seasonal dip.
I wouldn't panic fix but it would be interesting to run some user testing around it.

Whoops. Phrased that wrong.
