Apple Seeds Second iOS 9.3 Beta to Developers With Night Shift Toggle in Control Center

What issues specifically??? It had better not break my iPad mini 2 again which was mostly fixed in the previous beta, it actually has been somewhat of a joy to use again, I don't want to lose it again...
Also I've been enjoying to smoother control center on iPhone 6, it isn't perfect everywhere yet but it improved so much I don't want to see it go away.
I'm on the public beta and have been wondering the same thing. This will be hugely helpful for me once it works!
That's an ugly icon! 
To me, night shift is something that needs to happen gradually, not just a toggle with an abrupt yellow screen.

I know, I wish I could just set a big bell curve for the day that it follows, not just have it set to enable at a certain time and do like a 10 second transitionThat's an ugly icon!

This is fixed. With Bluetooth car audio on last beta it basically didn't switch to let the mic/speakers work as an option.
So much better again!
Are you able to at least set a time for it to activate and deactivate? Or do you have to use the toggle?

Surely the main point of the toggle is to quickly turn it off so you could look at photos or something that requires the colours to look normal, then flick it back on afterwards. The gradual effect at sunrise and sunset would still run as normal.
Am amazed that a compagny such has Apple, who has always goes the extra length to make sure their products looks good, prioritized a yellow screen over a dark mode???
I love nightshift and use it all the time, but at least the dark mode wouldn't affect picture and movies.. Just my two cents!

It's not the same thing.
You can set it to go from sunset to sunrise, a custom schedule, or use the toggle.
Could anyone share how Night Shift works, specifically: does enabling Nightshift ALSO enable Do Not Disturb? Is that an option in Settings anywhere?
I'd personally prefer the two to switch locations in the Control Center, as there are MANY more reasons to enable to DND than Nightshift, and right now the Night Shift icon is more thumb-friendly. Alternatively, if the DND Control Center icon would pop a timer dialog, like Viticci's tweet shows the Night Shift does, that would be nice.
As to Bluetooth, Apple has been lost in the dark for quite a while. They're doing Bluetooth all wrong, IMHO, and I've filed more bugs than I can to think about against Bluetooth in the past 5 years. I'm hearing impaired and NEED to use a Bluetooth headset. The current system is just unwieldy to the point of near-broken. And every time a new version ships, I have to refile bugs and Engineering wants me to upgrade my iPhone to a beta to tell them they broke stuff again. I can't do that, guys…I'm disabled, I can't go months with a broken Bluetooth implementation. Anyhow, I'd prefer Apple to take a different approach: they should be walking users through "Scenarios" rather than blindly guessing how this stuff works. Most of the car stuff is mish mash, so being able to DESCRIBE to iOS what is going on with the phone would be easier (think a Bluetooth Wizard). Furthermore, it would be nice if iOS was smart enough to use the ID of the Lightning adapter or Bluetooth MAC to allow you to set Location-specific settings. (Geee…didn't Mac OS 9 used to have a working "Location Manager"? Old is new again.) For instance, I'd like to be able to pair other vehicles so I can play music/maps as a passenger, but I don't want iOS to automagically GRAB my audio focus every time I'm near the car! This topic is likely worth an entire thread all of its own, since the car makers are all seemingly different. But Apple isn't helping either.

I wish they'd give us the option to switch the airplane mode button to the battery saver mode. I'd use battery saver so much more than airplane.
What exact lag do you speak of? I've been using Beta 2 for a few hours and it actually feels a bit snappier than Beta 1 (though that may just be placebo effect)
I'm having problems typing my password (complex alphanumeric setting on). They keyboard does not respond. I have to slide it to the left, and then to the right again, for it to work. I didn't had this issue with beta 1. Minor inconvenience, but I wonder if somebody else has it?
