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

[CaptainV]

The search Issues seem to have been solved for me (before typing “Maps” would not show Google Maps, or typing App Store wouldn’t bring it up)

edit nvm super late

It was there during beta one LOL.

 

[Alhagar]

Is it for just Apple Music or all music apps like Spotify?

I don't have Spotify . Gone for Overcast as well.

Tap for more detail pop-up is new.

That's a good add as that is not super-discoverable otherwise. I like how they're doing that all over the stock apps.

 

[Macative]

Very large delta update. I think we'll see new lock screen customizations, hopefully.

Nope.

 

[Pearsey]

Phone got HOT on that install. Jez

Notification screen bug still there, sliding down it just gets VERY transparent. Was there for Beta 1. Watch widget on Lock Screen not fixed yet, still not a proper circle.

Started the update and 15 minutes later just a blank screen...FML

I notice that it gets a little hot when it's in my pocket, but when I take it out and use it, it doesn't. I will be attentive to see how it evolves, but I suppose that even in the background it will be doing things.

Once I did that it seemed to start the update with the Apple logo popping up with the status bar, weird.

Mail no longer works, shows message list but just get a blank screen when trying to view any.

Works fine for me. Try rebooting phone

I’m hoping the stupid watch screen widget is fixed where the circle wasn’t a circle but a squashed version. Also for more colours similar to how the watch does it.

Sadly, it isn’t fixed for larger text sizes.

Siri now shows weather for the location you’re flying to as well. Also more options when saving a screenshot.

How the heck do you get flights to appear like that? Looks super cool

 

[Ansath]

Looks like the weather app now specifies when the low (and high) temp will be for upcoming days. That will resolve the dispute in these threads about whether the low has to come after the high because it’s presented that way in the typical weather forecast.

Phew!

I remember that whole debacle! haha.

Astronomy wallpaper now shows a green dot where you are located.

 

[cmatuk]

Not really loving the dot showing my location on the Astronomy Lock Screen

Edit. I do like they seem to have updated the quality of the image it seems. B1 was rough

 

[MLVC]

Not really loving the dot showing my location on the Astronomy Lock Screen

Me neither, looks ugly plus I know where I am, don't need some ugly green dot telling me that.

 

[christian.terra]

no music widget on the lock screen for me either when playing music

 

[cmatuk]

The music widget is working for me.

I don’t remember ever having one!

 

[Alhagar]

I don't have Spotify . Gone for Overcast as well.

The Music and Overcast lock screen widgets have re-appeared for me.

I don’t remember ever having one!

I was talking about the now playing one…

Issue with spotlight search taking like 5-10 seconds to show a search is fixed. Still not instant like previous iOS but a lot better than beta 1.

And the annoying safari bug which always scrolled down to the bottom of the page when searching is gone too happy days
