Anyone having issues installing Testflight app on apple watch with this beta? Had no issues in B1 (having developer mode enabled) but in B2, with or without dev mode, it says installing, then just stop. Multiple reboots/uninstall/reinstall, same behavior.
I thought you had tried to censor (in a very amateurish manner) personal information before reading what you have written aha
Any news on whether Hide My Email shows in the iCloud Settings page on this beta? It was missing in Beta 1.

Guys and girls, as advised by Craig F himself, if a couple of hard restarts doesn't fix a minor issue/bug your having, then if possible, on a Mac reinstall the iOS and 90% of the time most little issues sort themselves out. WiFi connectivity, over heating, blah blah, stop being a pain for you.
DON'T just sit and wait for beta 3 to arrive thinking your issue is wide spread enough or a common bug thats on Apples radar. Because you will probably be disappointed come B3 when it's not fixed with another poor OTA update on top of another (potentially).
Use the IPSW file for your phone to reinstall and get a clean install on your phone, it can make a difference and what Apple (Craig) advises 👍🏼
(Method. No data is lost. Always encrypt back up regardless to Mac. Use Finder + option button + check for update button = manually selecting the beta you're on, IPSW file for a reinstall. Takes 10mins.)
This really can make a difference and stop any suffering or annoyance until the next beta. If your bug is still present, good chance then it is a bug that will be fixed in the beta cycle, but it was worth 10 minuets if it did go.

Love this. Great find. Never did work properly. Always missed key photos out or mixed stuff up. Got boring Apple.
At the moment it seems that both the watch and the phone the second beta is working normally. The only thing I've noticed is that the battery seems to run out faster, it's not something exaggerated, but it shows. On the mobile, the other times that had happened to me, updating with the ipsw file solved this, but for now I have to wait. I see the OTAs as less trustworthy than the update with ipsw.
Safari seems to work excellent for me I’m using iPhone 13 Pro. Left couple tabs open and come back to them couple hrs and they stayed the way I left them, no refresh. Bloody happy with that. I hope it stays like that with iOS 16.
One thing I want is numbers on keyboard instead of 123 back and forth. Please Apple!!

When you long-press on a word on a web page in beta 1, it used to come up with a ”search web” option instead of having to select “lookup” then “search web”. Does anyone know if there’s a way to add it back or is it gone completely?
I installed all betas as a restore (without restoring data and settings) and have had only a few issues, so starting fresh is probably the best way to go!
It seems more aggressive with that than in beta 1. Maybe we should say full stop instead?
Remember: what you’re looking at is for the iPhone 14 always on display. They may not “light up” the status bar symbols for that. In that case the Lock Screen widget is what you’ll see if you glance at the phone
Or it might mean that Apple plugged a hole in its system and doesn’t want to allow users to configure devices using what is clearly a development “app”.

It could still be there in some form, or temporarily removed, but I'd bet we're not going to see that Home Screen customization in iPadOS 16. You can call me out on it if it appears later.
My iPhone went from 94% to 0% overnight, not sure when it died but it did. I went to bed at 11 PM EST. It is now 7:13 AM EST. I didn’t expect this.

I had this beta 1 but the other way around, I wanted colour but some would show as black and white, re-adding the photo fixed it for me but did take several attempts.
Oddly enough I've been unable to reproduce this, even with the sane set of pictures, since earlier today. Much like the iPad wallpaper/focus customization, was it a feature half-added, or half-removed? We'll find out in later betas! That's the fun of running them I think.
It’s pretty much the same process as before. Users can still go to Settings/Wallpaper and set the homescreen wallpaper.
Over heating, major battery drain, wifi connectivity issues... your phone needs some TLC buddy. This is not normal.
Sign out of iCloud on your device, then sign back in. I had to do this on all me devices. Hope that helps.
