[SumYoungGai]

Today’s a good day! Hoping for some memory fixes (have had a couple of times when the system froze up and keyboard wouldn’t present).

Build #: 20C5043e

 

[Misos]

Hopefully it fixes the stutters I get playing games like Genshin impact on an iPhone 14 pm

 

[Pearsey]

Thanks @Banglazed. Nice one fella 👍🏼

 

[furbzv1]

[mamut]

Changing volume during a call fixed?

 

[ManuCH]

Can't wait to hear if the "swipe to close camera if opened from Lock Screen" is fixed to decide whether I can jump on the beta train again.

Can't wait to hear if the "swipe to close camera if opened from Lock Screen" is fixed to decide whether I can jump on the beta train again.

True betarians do not let such measly issues deter them from experiencing each beta.

(It’s definitely a pain to have to lock and unlock the phone for that and I hope they have it fixed!)

 

[Pearsey]

IPSW is now out!

 

[mariuskv]

IPSW is now out!

Tnx ipsw king

 

[drak22]

566Mb on my iphone 13 Pro, small beta version hehe

 

[sorgo †]

New HomePod downloading indicator in the Home app; not exclusive to 16.2 beta 2 but still kinda cool (introduced with HomePod 16.2 beta 1 I guess?)

 

[Donga120]

Build is 20C5043E

 

[WilliApple]

[joshy123]

seems better so far

 

[Pearsey]

Any modem firmware upgrades for these wifi issues people are having?

 

[2Xtreme21]

Lock Screen camera bug is fixed.

Edit: But the flashlight button is greyed out… also in control center. Weird.

Edit 2: Hard reboot fixed it.

 

[uandme72]

Sleep Alarm widget - is it showing alarm time on Lock Screen now?

 

[JonDigital]

AirPlay crash is fixed.

 

[GoldenChild]

I hope they fix the Sleep focus not properly active on AW.
