Not sure if this a defect or works as designed. Thoughts?
On my iPad Pro, orientation is portrait with power button at top right. Using the volume toggles, pressing up turns volume up and pressing down turns volume down.
Turn iPad into landscape with power button on top left. Now pressing the volume up buttons turns the volume down, and pressing volume down button turn volume up. Huh?
Portrait with power button bottom left. Volume up turns down volume and volume down, turns volume up.
And lastly landscape with power button lower left follows the same as the other landscape scenario. Volume up goes down, and volume down goes up.
I don’t know how I just noticed it.
I had sort of noticed this a week or so ago but just kind of blipped past it. Last night I noticed it again and realized that this was intentional. Then I remembered that this was announced somewhere.
Nope. By design. And can be switched off.

Thanks for noticing and posting!
Could someone on 16.2 beta 1 please check if the "jumping" of the albums in the photos app, when you exit the "recent" album is fixed?
I attached a screen recording for you.
You can easily reproduce it: Go to the photos app, albums and scroll all the way up, so that "albums" is written on top.
Now go into the recent album and then go back. You will see that the word "Album" is not smoothly transferes from small font to big but "jumps" right to the large font, thus making all the album folders jump down, too.
You can see it pretty good in my recording, I believe.
My 13 Pro running iOS 16.1 does not behave like that, nor does my X running iOS 16.2 beta1.
I guess it's a problem on "Synamic Island" iPhones only.
Recorded on my 14 Pro Max with iOS 16.1 installed.

That behaves differently on my 14PM. When I got back from an album, it will not scroll up all the way, and it will start where "My albums" is shown. I need to scroll up manually to "Albums". So no jumping.
Got a strange issue when using the Gmail App. Not sure when, but I lost my main account on there (all others work still). I can try and add it back which works for a minute then it disappears again. Then when I open up the app I get a ""no connection" error.... anyone else?
From all these posts, looks like this 16.2 beta 1 is one of the buggiest betas in a while, staying clear of the beta train for the holidays.
Eh, it’s not really that much worse (in my opinion it’s better) than recent “public” releases, but to each his own
Yeah, that is how mine behaves. But what happens IF you scrolled up to have the large "Album" writing on top? If you then go into recent album and back, does it jump?
Same “no real problems” experience for me other than the camera refusing to close. I’ll chalk that one up to “it’s a beta” and not lose any sleep over it (especially since Apple has already promised an upcoming fix).
No. If I scroll to have the large "Album" writing on top, enter the recent album, and go back, it will be scrolled down again to "My albums". I will need to scroll up manually again to "Album" to see it.
To me the biggest issue is airplay not working. Hopefully that is fixed in beta 2
The backup passcode bug is still here.
If you backup to a Mac or PC (not iCloud) you may not be backing up when you think you are.
Put on a charger or plug in, it asks for a passcode a few minutes later. Really hope they fix this. Someone’s going to get burnt with data loss.

It’s been fine with me and Holly. I’m in beta she’s not. Not a glitch.
I will try it again tonight to see if it works now. It didnt the last time i tried to cast to my apple tv
My guess is that you are Apple Music users. Airplay is not working for me on Tidal, Amazon or Spotify. Selecting an airplay device causes each app to trip out. I have just put one of my iPads back to 16.1 where it works fine.
I just noticed it a couple days ago. Now it asks for the passcode every time you backup even when it's the same iPhone and Mac. Previously it used to ask for just the first backup after you trust the device. Quite annoying!
