iOS 16.2 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[adrianlondon]

Question: Historically, isn’t the .2 beta 2 release when we get new Emoji?

I understand this common refrain but we’re not talking about an iPhone gen 1 processor, GPU and memory/storage subsystem. We’re talking about a world class CPU/GPU, Memory and Storage subsystem that rivals all other phones and some laptops in terms of performance. Strongly believe what we’re seeing is one or more bugs and not a constraint due to limited resources.

We are also talking about beta software.

End of story.

That’s not helping anybody.

Had some minor stuttering in the first hour after updating. Nothing much to speak of now.

Neither is all the complaining about beta software especially in the immediate hours after an update. You all know what participating in a beta entails and yet you act as if this should be finely polished software.

If this remains an issue when 16.2 ships then you can complain. Until then report.

Hopefully if this frame drop issue is widespread Apple will refrain from releasing the public until it’s resolved.

I didn’t know that. Thank you! See that guys? None of our feedback matters! It’s a beta. It’s all supposed to be broken!

Podcast app settings still showing without the app installed?

That’s what the forum is for, whining and complaining.
Why would you assume everyone who’s complaining about stuttering isn’t reporting? Read back and you’ll see screenshots of reports filed.

Also as you may have noticed the title of the forum is 16.2 beta 2.

Welp, back off the beta train I go and back to 16.1 The horrid stuttering made me sea sick lol. Seems to be a promotion bug. Hoping beta 3 is better

 

[OhMyMy]

Happy to report the stuttering has mostly subsided after a hard reset and a few hours of use.
Anyone else’s got better too?

EDIT: Nope! Still got it hanging around like an obsessive ex. Wouldn’t let go.

Few hours later .. 2 hard restarts , No stuttering for me. 14PM. Beta running great…

Frame drops have improved and swiping between pages on the Home Screen no longer stutters (but I did connect to CarPlay and I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence). Now just seeing some slight stuttering at the end of inertial movement after scrolling and letting go.

Not seeing any stutter. Scrolled/flipped through Facebook, IG, safari, etc. Swipe iOS home pages. Ip14pm.

Exactly the same here. Maybe you’re just getting used to it?

This - “slight stuttering at the end of inertial movement after scrolling and letting go.”

Who said your feedback doesn’t matter? Certainly not me. My point, in case you missed it, is that betas can be less than perfect. That, after all, is one of the key reasons the beta program exists: to find problems and fix them before a general public release.

And the most amusing thing to me is that many of those here who were most vocal about the stuttering are now reporting that it had diminished or disappeared. Just as I and others predicted would occur.

16.2 beta 1 was amazing. Smooth as butter.

16.2 beta 2 is stuttery as hell. I downgraded back to smooth beta 1

 

[SumYoungGai]

Stutter actually came back for me after I used my phone for a while and opened a couple more Safari tabs. At baseline ramping up/down past a certain Hz made it stutter so starting and ending scrolling caused some visible jittering. Downgrading to beta 1.

Is 5G enabled?

 

[OhMyMy]

Shocker

Unlike your “holier than thou” attitude my comments actually contributed to the discussion. As you may have noticed there were plenty others experiencing the same.
If being judgmental is the only thing you can contribute then you can create a different thread. Correcting someone is one thing but acting like you’re better than everyone isn’t what the forum is for.

Actually I take it back. Stuttering is back.
I’m including the feedback IDs of @Pearsey and others in my report.

do the apple internal devs not see this issue when they alpha test?
