iOS 16 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[dk001]

Is it me, or is the weather app a few degrees off in Beta 2?

It is.
Been looking at that.
My Android and 13PM (15.6) both show one temp for My Location and the iPad on 16 shows a different temp for My Location.
Off by 2-3 degrees.

It was like that in b1 but it’s working for me in b2.

The VPN settings shows the VPN option off even it’s on. Reported in b1, not fixed on b2…

Looks like the Photographic Styles settings have been added to the Camera itself. I believe these used to only be accessible from the Camera menu in the Settings app.

this only appears there when you use a photographic style other than the standard. It also happened in iOS 15, but it would be nice if they put a shortcut there to use them, it's more comfortable than sliding the arrow and selecting the options.

updated my devices to iOS16 beta 2 using IPSW file works for me by using newest Xcode 14 beta2 (MobileDevice.pkg) or else it will fail and you’ll be stuck in recovery mode.

I am speaking for normal windows users using itunes, if you are a developer with Mac of course you can update without problems. anyway, i tried with itunes, because unlike beta 1, i prepare this second beta and reboot the device to update with ipsw. It failed only because apple did not give authorization, because it is not signing the second beta, if it was signing it it would have been updated without problems. That's why I think that beta 3, which will be the first to be published, would already begin to sign it and from this point the windows users will be able to start updating or restoring with the ipsw files.

According to Apple, you can check your AirTag battery level in Find My app but looking at the details of the tag. But when I go in there, there is no battery icon. Now, I did not do this before iOS 16 so is this a missing feature that was there before or is it some where else?

Looks like they took it out. It used to be where you described it but it’s not there now. I’d post feedback. I’ll do same.

Wow. Why would apple take this out?

I for some reason cannot double press/tap on weather widgets on lock screen? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Here’s a change….presented before install. I guess it’s in response to all the websites offering beta profiles to the general public.

Does Microsoft Teams work with beta 2?

I use Teams with MDM from my work linked to OneNote.
It works however I am getting occasional crashes when in a video conference. More so if I am doing meeting notes in OneNote.

Yeah I notice that, the app said it was 21c but it felt more like 19c 🙄

Any news on whether Hide My Email shows in the iCloud Settings page on this beta? It was missing in Beta 1.

It came back for me.

Battery life is definitively better on my 13 with this beta.

It was dreadful day 1. It was a lot better today. To be expected. Who knows what sorts of indexing it did in the background. But it's fine now.

Seems a lot better than DP1 on both my iPad and iPhone if I’m being honest.

Normally the contact suggestions in the share sheet are a direct reflection of the conversation threads in the Messages app.

However, in Beta 2 I’m seeing share sheet contact suggestions for threads that I’ve deleted from the Messages app.

In the past, deleting a conversation from the Messages app would result in that conversation no longer appear in the share sheet.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

I’ve also noticed that the Safari share sheet has different contact suggestions from the Photos share sheet.

And none of the contact suggestions mirror the Messages app. I deleted all conversation threads in the Messages app and they still show up in the share sheet contact suggestions.

I don’t like it that now there is less margin between the now playing widget and the notifications.

And the Ryanair notification bubble isn’t the same width either

Just to ask, which MDM are you using?

That's intentional, as the notifications are meant to have a stacked on one another cards like effect, so there must be some depth that is resembled by the smaller width.

Yes its 2C off for every location. On ios15 its already off from official weather apps in sweden.

Anyone using the beta on an iPhone Xs? Is it ok?
