Apple Seeds Second iOS 26.2 Release Candidate to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[Böhme417]

Hmmm... so would the public release be next week?

If they confirm whatever needed to be fixed was fixed, I’d imagine later this week.

I think it's coming out tomorrow.

While they're updating CarPlay, I wish they would bring back the widget that popped up for my garage door when I pull into my neighborhood. It was nice to be able to quickly tap it because my garage door remote range kinda sucks and since it's a big double door I have to wait a bit. Now I have to have a widget for it on another screen, so I have to (while driving) swipe over to the widgets, and then swipe through the widgets until I find the HomeKit square, and then ID the garage door button (while driving), and tap the now much smaller tap target (WHILE DRIVING). I mean, I've considered going back to my old remote and I do sometimes if I'm not in a hurry, but THIS FRIGGIN WORKED BEFORE APPLE. I don't understand why they're destroying elegant solutions?

Where was that pop-up? Part of Apple Maps? Or the garage Door Opener manufacturer?

Based on Previous years, this Wednesday or Thursday seems a safe bet

Yeah... they need to get something out and stable since they'll be taking the last 2 weeks of the year off.

“Hey Siri, open the main garage door.”

“Ok, done. All garage doors in Maine are now open.”

iPhone only? Still not showing on my iPad.

Not surprised. I’m still having issues with putting photos into landscape mode. They get shoved into the upper left corner constantly. Also, Maps is on weed. She’s slower than molasses on a cold day. The directions are all wonky when navigation starts. It’ll be off by a block or more and keep “looking” to find out where I’m at in the map.

Do we get changelogs?

Yep. You have to read though:

“Hey Siri, open the main garage door.”

"Open the Pod Bay doors, HAL"

 

[Tagbert]

“Hey Siri, open the main garage door.”

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

1877? Bah humbug, all modern bells and whistles.

I am on the 1861 Reiss telephone.

Not a single splash of Liquid Glass in sight!

I'm aware of that switch, but if you don't allow Home Control while locked, Siri commands through CarPlay will still be blocked.

Bug fixes and several improvements.
Corners even rounder. More emojis nobody ever asked for.

Please tell me they fixed the analogue clock widget (hands vanish for a second when opening an app) and fixed the bottom nav bar floating bug in Safari.

Just checked for update on my iPhone and iPad Pro....and no update showing.

 

[Jay Bly]

At this point. I started asking myself. Why do I wait for these every week. Lol. I feel like I’m being edged lol

 

[Rafagon]

For real this time, Apple?

 

[Qubelek]

They still didn’t fix the main bug since bugOs 26 was relased. It’s iOS BinLagin 26 xD

I’m still running 18.7.2, and I REFUSE, REFUSE, to update!!

I like flat UI and I cannot lie, all you other brothers can’t deny 🫶😎🖖

That still works on mine. I just wish I could configure that. I have 2 garage doors, and it's a random guess as to which one shows up with that suggested feature. I have it setup on the widget for when it guesses wrong, but I do really like the feature. I wonder why yours isn't?

I don’t have the issue as you described, but I do have an issue where sometimes the entire clock face is blank. It happens occasionally when I unlock my phone.
