iOS 14 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Enygmatic]

For those who installed it already did it fix the storage issue?

If you’re referring to the “Other” taking up (or just reporting) hundreds of GB, no... not on my devices. I’ll check again later after a couple of hours and recompiling.

The Calendar and Clock icons have changed. I think the hands on the clock app were thinner before and the day in the calender wasn‘t abbreviated before.

I’m sure this will be on EverythingApplePro’s upcoming 50 new things on beta 2 video lol

Beta 2 has not fixed my issue of apps not staying in the dock.

iOS 14 Apps Won't Return To Dock

I keep the Phone, Mail, Safari, and Settings apps in my dock on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I moved three (Phone, Safari and Settings) and every time I try and return them back to the Dock they automatically return to the home screen. I've restarted my iPhone a couple of times and the issue is still...

I would pick today to have run down my phone battery and use my Anker wireless charger to recharge. Waiting to hit 50% and allow the install...

The News widget is gone. At least on iPad.

Still have it on iOS but it doesn't seem to want to load.

The News widget is still there—iPad Pro 11 (2nd)—it just wouldn't load until I deleted it and re-added it. The same was true for the native Weather widget. It wouldn't load until I deleted and re-installed.

Gonna do a clean install, I'm that paranoid of things going wrong lol

Not facing such an issue, you can either do a fresh install or reset home screen layout.

Is the weather widget working for anyone? It‘s blank for me, no matter what location I set.

On HomePod, you can now select primary music services! Spotify isn't listed as an option, as I presume they must update the app first?

Services can span music, podcasts, and audiobooks.

I would say it needs app update, same as the ability to change default apps for email on iOS.

Yea, they are fatter on beta 2

I dig the changes to the clock. Not so much on the Calendar icon. Almost too minimalist now but not having Wednesday crammed in there tomorrow will probably change my mind.

Mine started out like that and corrected itself after a few minutes.

I'm still surprised that all my apps keep working on my iPad. The only apps preventing me from running the beta on the iPhone 11 Pro are the banking apps. If those start working, then I'll take the plunge on my phone too.

Out of interest when upgrading at the end of the beta cycle do we just stay on the GM? Or is there a way to install the standard public release over the last beta?

long time Dev first time beta user.

Snap. I wondered why it wasn’t doing it and saw I was at 49%. 🤣

You can stay on the GM (unless of course it is not the released version). Or, if you want to get off the beta train, just remove the profile. If the GM is the same build as the release version, you'll just stay on that. if its a different build, you'll get that when its released to the public

Modem updated to 1.50.17 on iP11ProMax

Wiki updated.

I definitely see some Skeumorphism on the clock icon.

Speaking of clocks, it this widget available yet?

Just hit 50%. Away we go!

You'll automatically get the GM.

Was there a Files widget in Beta 1? If not, there is now!

 

[gank41]

Can anyone confirm if beta 2 fixes the storage issue with beta 1

I just finished filing another radar about this. Still seeing almost 128GB of storage being used under “Other”.

It now vibrates on pressing the music control buttons in the music app.
