Everything New in iOS 27 Beta 2

Hitting camera feed in Home app does not make it crash anymore on first load. My Weather app now actually loads the weather, previously only the widget worked. Overall it seems a bit more responsive.
 
Love the ability to long press on a HomeKit Camera notification and for it to play the clip. Does it quickly, too.

Also - the Wallet App insights already work, although the article says it's not fully implemented yet. Does a good job on both my current account and credit card (I'm in the UK - and this may be the first time in history that we've got something working before USA!).

Anyone else had an iPhone on Beta 1 that was still indexing, for days, and suddenly the indexing badge is gone on Beta 2?

Yeah, I had been checking in on the status using console on my Mac.

My iPhone was stalled at 84% indexing for the past week, but that's gone now with the 2nd beta update.
 
I had a popup in the Home app say something about smart plugs now showing insights into usage, but I was half asleep as it updated overnight and I didn't think to screenshot it. I can't see anything about this on the two smart plugs I have, but maybe not all devices are compatible or it needs more data to show anything.
 
Am I the only one reading this article, which the title sounded like a positive news piece with exciting upcoming features.

But, then read it and it is just overall super disappointing. Many things still not working or not available, others removed. Nothing really worthwhile new.
And warning about using new feature (that Apple even has off by default) about sending data to third-parties if I turn it on for FEATURES!
😕

And, if this is going to be more of an iOS "Snow Leopard" release, from the current beta, it certainly isn't feeling like it.
 
Does anyone on the beta know if they fixed this really annoying 'bug' in AppleNews?:

When you block a channel, instead of hiding it, your screen real-estate is taken up with a big, (stupid), grey box which states "You blocked this channel". Thanks

Btw, “write with Siri” option doesn’t come up if you’re using a multilingual keyboard. I switched to regular English keyboard and the option popped up.

Who else is getting ridiculous "clarifications" from Siri in both betas? "Did you say Bob, Boab, Boob, Barb, or Bard?"

Yes - really silly ones. I asked something about COBC, and one of the options it gave me was COC (written) - but whereas the others were read out as letters, Siri read that one out as a word…

In my example above, it appears to pull names from my Contacts but overweights them such that it gets confused and thinks they're all possibilities.

They held it back until today and the AWU3 is not compatible.

Must be some serious issue with it in that device. Glad they held it instead of bricking a bunch of AWU3’s.

Still sucks I will be in limbo. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I was wondering why I didn't see an update yesterday when I went to check for updates on my series 11

Just checked again and it's just spinning now

Very wise of them to pull it if it's just doing nothing but bricking certain watches

I can be patient and wait if it means that I'll get something that won't turn my watch into a giant on-wrist paperweight
