in photos, the recognition of objects, animals and others is already shown with its name well, in addition to giving me the location of the monument that is seen in the photo for example. in beta 1 the name did not come out, a strange string came out, and it did not give the address, it showed that there were no available results. I like this function more and more.

Hello I have a problem since Beta 1. When I try to use dictation, it won’t allow me to use the keyboard. Is there a fix for that?
 
The wallpaper UI has to be THE most confusing one Apple has ever devised. I'm not a noob, I was a tech magazine editor for 10 years, but this is insane.

Setting one image as a lockscreen wallpaper and a different one as a home screen wallpaper is cumbersome but possible, BUT setting my own photo on lockscreen AND an Apple-supplied wallpaper on Home screen is 100% impossible. Or I just can't figure out how. The other way around (wallpaper on lock, my photo on Home) works.

I’m a software engineer and not even gonna try hahha I like the stock options anyways.
 
Btw, for whoever uses Messenger, the latest update has been crashing both on iPadOS 16 Beta 1 and Beta 2 (works fine on the iPhone), so postpone updating the Messenger app if you can and depend on it.
 
Merging duplicate contacts in the Contacts app actually works in Beta 2. Not sure if anyone has reported that yet.
It now does something when you click on it, but for me it bugs out and doesn’t actually merge anything. Also between pressing and the pop-up was about 10 seconds.
 
Me neither, looks ugly plus I know where I am, don't need some ugly green dot telling me that.
I quite like it as an option. Pre-COVID I traveled enough for work and fun that I’ve had mornings where I woke up in my non-descript hotel room in a new city and just couldn’t immediately remember where I was. I think a location pin📍would look a lot better.

Lock screen glitches aside... Feels really good. Definitely more polished. They've been working hard over there. Mad to think we are only at beta 2.

For me, at first beta 1 felt great and then started experiencing heating issues the next day that lasted for several days. After that, it went away and haven’t noticed any bugs since then. It takes quite some time to settle in so I’d hold off on saying it’s better because it’s too early to tell.
 
Web apps work full screen now with external monitor. I’ve tested Sonic 3 AIR, Webrcade and Xbox Cloud Gaming
