Everything New in iOS 15.4 Beta 2: Face ID Updates, Tap to Pay Code and More

was hoping for an option for us to hide the home bar I wait every release

Why is this getting downvoted? The home bar is so superfluous at this point. We get it, swipe up replaced the home button. Don’t need a stupid white bar that occasionally hangs over video uselessly any more. That’s fine if they want to leave on by default but give us a toggle in settings to remove it. Not hard.

i found since ios 15 photos are really laggy, when I take a photo it wont show up in my library til a good 10-15 seconds after. Is anyone else getting this issue? I'm on a iPhone 13 mini, same issue on my wife's 13 Pro

Photos show up right away on my iPhone 11 with iOS 15.3.

Are you using iCloud for your photos by any chance?

But where is the iSpy CSAM surveillance and snitching feature that we all need? Won't Apple think of the children?

Apple said they will 'reintroduce' their so called CSAM surveillance spyware into a future OS (without telling us). So it could be in iOS 15.4.
That’s why I’m not upgrading my OS and why my current iPhone is the last Apple product I’ll ever buy. Allowing Apple, and any government agency who pressures them, to spy on their customers is not OK.

There is nothing stopping me to bring the phone above my head which would no longer be "down". (For example, in preparation to take a selfie.)

If you have the phone at a higher angle, then it won’t ask you to look down. The problem this minor update is trying to solve is that features of your upper face area are blocked by your mask if your phone is too low, and looking down solves that. If your camera is higher up, then your upper face is fully visible if you’re looking at the screen.

On the other hand, if it says "look at the screen", then it eliminates most of the locations/positions other than straight into the face.

No it doesn’t. I can look at the screen from any angle, even with the phone on a table as I pass by. And again, if you’re reading the message then you are looking at the screen.
 
Square….look out.

Hopefully soon between some credit cards apple will act as the intermediary and people can use credit cards to pay each other in lots of situations. This is a pretty cool feature to build into the phone.

Looking down does not solve the issue though.
Because your eyes are already looking at it.
The phone wants your entire face to turn toward it whether it is below, on top, or even side ways.
 
Drip, drip, drip with tiny features.

Thanks Apple, but how about some REAL updates to iOS that can actually take advantage of the power of current devices? You know, really radical ideas such as a real file system and true multitasking?

Drip, drip, drip. iOS 16 will introduce new emojis and the radical and unprecedented feature of arranging icons on the home page as you would like to. This will be a MASSIVE update, so Apple users, rejoice!

Kinda sad that iPhone 11 series are excluded from the FaceID with mask feature. While the feature may be slightly slower on an A13, it should still be an option - speed isn't always everything. TouchID on iPhones before the 6S was pretty slow compared to when they revamped it and I never really had any complaints

I agree. though somewhere I read the reason they can't pull this off with previous models isn't necessarily because of the CPU, but that the front camera sensor is larger and can pull in more data in the 12 and up and that's how they can make it work.

Or they are lying and just trying to get people to upgrade as usual. ;)

I wonder if they've fixed the bug with WebRTC audio output in Mobile Safari being routed to the earpiece, rather than the speaker. My guess is... no.

I cant even begin to imagine how much more power you will need for a ‘real file system’.
