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

[cmatuk]

I was talking about the now playing one…

Oh! I see!

 

[iOS Geek]

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

Definitely noticed the change in image quality. Looks a lot better

 

[mcvaughan]

Keyboard bounce in iPadOS is fixed.

 

[Baby12]

Does this beta come with astronomy wallpapers for Xs/XS max ?

 

[MLVC]

Definitely noticed the change in image quality. Looks a lot better

Yeah, couldn't use it in beta 1 because the quality was crap. Now won't use because of the green dot. Let's see what they come up with in beta 3 why I won't use it haha

 

[LutzRFrank]

Yeah they're definitely trying to be a little clearer with the "theme" rather than single backgrounds thing. When you create a new theme, you get this pop up now.

And the settings are slightly changed.

Nice wall with the 3d effect. Where did you get it?

Has anyone had the same issue as me where the climate widget/s done update? Mine suggest I have no sensors but I have 6 radiator valves and two thermostats (all Tado) which all work perfectly in Home. This has been the same for me since B1.

apple now allows you to download the ipsw file of this second beta as we were doing until now, without the need to log in to the developer portal. And itunes with this second beta no longer says that you have to have the latest version of itunes to update to ios 16, but it fails because apple is not signing this version. I think they are already preparing for the launch of the public beta. I suspect we will have an itunes update in the next two weeks to get everything ready.

This gives me Safari in iOS 15 vibes haha

I guess the beta is not as exciting as I was hoping , but again seems surprisingly stable both on my iPhone and iPad.

Yes, it does

 

[Donga120]

P.S -- Anyone in the UK, EE are having network issues and Mobile Data is playing up.

 

[nortonandreev]

I think the now playing UI on the iPad has changed a bit. Not sure if I like it.

 

[Kylo83]

Did Apple allow us to hide the home bar? Bet not

 

[christian.terra]

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

showed up for 10 seconds for me, now gone again.

 

[OhMyMy]

Did Apple allow us to hide the home bar? Bet not

Why do you ask a question you already know the answer to?

 

[chrism_scotland]

Any updates to the Stage Manager or External Display function on iPad Pro with this new beta?

 

[s2mike]

Unfortunately, the battery widget on the Lock Screen still flickers for a split-second when Face ID unlocks the phone. (On the iPhone 13 mini, at least)

Was hoping that would be fixed.

 

[nortonandreev]

Any updates to the Stage Manager on iPad Pro with this new beta?

The only bug fix I am seeing is that, when using apps on full-screen with stage manager enabled, clicking on the 3 dots on the top properly invokes the menu with the multitasking options when using touchpad. Before it would require me to actually touch it. I guess something was wrong with the tap targets, and it would think I wanted to resize the window instead of invoking the menu. It’s a small one, but was annoying in the first beta.

Also getting the no now playing widget on lock screen or notification screen if I pull down when phone is unlocked. That's a very large bummer.

 

[Luckster37]

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

How do you get that to show please???

 

[mquinn]

Set Wallpaper actions in Shortcuts also do not yet work in Beta 2.

And if I turn on flashlight when phone is unlocked, via control center, then lock phone, flashlight turns off. Same as beta 1.

The green dot for astronomy is only when you’re customizing the Lock Screen. It goes away.

Never mind I lied. It comes up every time you turn on the screen but goes away when unlocked and dropping down Notification Center. Weird. I doubt it’s meant to stay.

 

[s2mike]

Not sure iMessage mentions are working correctly… doesn’t look like the contact’s name appears bold when they’re tagged in a message.

Assuming that’s a bug and not a UI change. It’s nice to see the name in bolder font when someone has been tagged.
