iOS 26.2 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
iPhone 12 Pro. Here are the main issues I currently have with iOS 26 beta 2. Some of these issues were present in the iOS 26 Public Launce Release and have carried over into the iOS 26.2 betas.
1) App Library locks up for a couple of seconds when swiping down.
2) Photo App - I cannot reorder the Collections
3) Long press on Home Screen, select Edit, iPhone crashes and resets to Lock Screen.
4) Long press Wi-Fi in Control Center, iPhone crashes and resets to Lock Screen.
5) Feedback app crashes when I try to use it to report a problem.
6) Safari crashes when I touch the 3 dot icon in the bottom right corner.

So far I have not been impressed with iOS26. iOS 26 has been out for 2 months and still has many major bugs that are not resolved. It's hard to believe that this poor of a product really came out from Apple.

Having none of those issues. 2. Are you scrolling to the bottom of collections and tapping “reorder”?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they get it fixed before the final release. Yes! It's a stupid bug, especially because it worked perfectly fine before iOS 26.1, so they've broken something that worked.

It was broken in one of the earlier betas, too - maybe one of the iOS 18 betas, I forget which one.

Yes I am scrolling to the bottom of Collections and selecting “reorder”. I have also tried selecting “reorder” from the 3 dot menu at the top of the screen. The results are always the same. The check mark appears in the upper right corner, but none of the items in Collections can be moved. This issue has been around for me ever since iOS 26 was released in September.
 
well…

Works both ways. Make sure pressing on the collection you want to move while moving it.

The App drawing fixed yet? I'm perplexed by how this is happening on the newest devices.

It’s not fixed on my M5 iPad Pro. I don’t have 26.2 on my 17PM, but I would expect it to be the same. The only way I could resolve it was to reset my Home Screen layout which got rid of all my folders. Absolutely no redrawing occurred after that. However, I use folders extensively so after I reorganized everything, a painful experience, the redrawing was back. I do not expect this to be resolved in iOS 26. Whether it’s due to Liquuid Glass, or some other system intensive feature, these devices cannot cope with it and the presence of many folders containing multiple icons. Those who have no folders, or very few with only a couple of icons contained within, may not experience this. But for the rest of us, and based on comments made across multiple forums, it’s a lot of us, the issue will persist.

I just noticed some app redrawing on the m4 iPad Pro, haven't tested it on my 17 pro max

Extensive redrawing on my M5 iPad Pro. I believe this will continue throughout ios 26. It’s just the way they’ve designed the system for Liquid Glass or some other intensive feature.

Have you turned off Reduce Motion?
I had Reduce Motion turned on and apps crashed (three dots). Turned it off & this solved the problem. I even turned Reduce Motion back on again & the problem is still solved.

They have fixed CarPlay with Alpine ILX-W650E - it now doesn’t work at all. CarPlay won’t connect.

This is 26.2 developer beta.

What is your Wired Accessory security setting? My CarPlay also wouldn't connect this morning until I changed the setting to "Always connect when unlocked". I had it on Ask for New Accessories but for some reason that wasn't enough to trigger the authentication.
 
The Field Test app is broken. It no longer shows the band and the serving cell immediately like it did on the base 26 version. The issue started with the .1 update and is still present in the .2 version.
