What happened?!
I'll try again, I already checked in the storage and it seems that it didn't unload well.

Feels smoother than b1 but there's a lag when locking the phone.
This feels like a familiar bug from 1-2-3 years ago.

Funny thing with Apple is that each beta cycle, the same regressions keep popping up. Sometimes for years ahead. The screenshot bug is only one example.

Instead of developing new feature and fixing new issue, betas reintroduce the same regressions over and over again and fixed again in the beta cycle.

As a software engineer, I can’t understand how Apple develops their software. And how is it possible that we face the same issues over and over again.
 
Using a keyboard shortcut on iPadOS will now highlight the menu that item is in, not spotted that before. E.g. if I do CMD + C then the Edit menu flashes blue as thats where the Copy command is

EDIT: Wait this is in b1 as i’m only downloading b2 and havent installed 😀

Light mode glass has been eeeeever so slightly tweaked. Left and right edges aren’t so harsh, upper and lower edges have brighter, whiter glow when hovering over colorful things behind it. Shadows aren't so dark now.

Still looks a bit different to me than MacOS glass though. I hope they continue to refine because I miss my circles being circles like iOS 18 had.

Dialer changed a bit too.
 
Just started happening over the weekend and continued into beta 2. Messages app says I have 7 unread messages. I tried marking all as read and having siri read my any unread messages but it still says 7. Any other tricks?
Same except it says I have 21 unread still.
 
Also, the ability to take bulk action on junk in mail is still non-functual, if you “select all”. If you select them manually, you can take action as a group.
This worked fine for me this morning on B1. I have iCloud and a Gmail in mine. Will likely be a while before I get a chance to test again.

Was that button there in B1?

Nope. That's new. There is also a Write with Siri prompt above the keyboard when you haven't started typing yet. And if you highlight text, that same Siri button is offered. Using it on highlighted text is much closer to the old Writing Tools offerings.

Dynamic Island gets a little funky when opening the Podcasts app…

EDIT: this only seems to happen when playing music from a HomePod. It doesn’t happen when playing music on my phone locally.

By any chance do you have filtering messages on? I made a feedback report for those messages not showing up in Beta 1. Wondering if it can be a similar thing where they're all popping up now like after I updated my MacBook
I do. I’ll try turning it off quick.
