iOS 6 Beta 2: New Features & Improvements Thread

If you hold down on a news item in the stocks app, you can add it to your Safari Reading List (or all items) in addition to open it in Safari.
 
Mail notifications was never defaulted to appear in the Notification Center drop down. You use to have to turn it on. Now it's defaulted as appearing in the drop down view.
 
I believe the archive icon in the mail.app is different, but I don't know if this is beta 2 exclusive.

It hasn't been specifically mentioned yet but you can have Facebook contacts turned on in the Facebook settings and Maps doesn't crash when typing a search anymore.

Also, impressed that Apple has finally made autobrightness work like it did in the original iPhone. It corrects brightness at a much faster interval than it did on the 3G, 3GS, and 4. I was walking down a darker hallway into a bright room and it gradual ramped up the brightness as I was walking. Impressed.

I can't tell if the value you set is supposed to reflect a maximum brightness when auto is on or just where it's currently set when auto is on. Either way, it works the way I want it to again.
 
Photos and Camera storage usage appears in the Usage tab in Settings. It wasn't there in iOS Beta 1.
 
For those mentioning the 3G toggle being back, are any of you on AT&T? This is the #1 feature I'd like to see come back for the AT&T 4S.
 
Safari

This may have been in beta 1 but has anyone else noticed in safari for iPhone that when you turn it landscape there is an option to make the bottom bar disappear?
 
I think it might be new to iOS 6 in general. But whenever I had alot of apps that I added to my device from iTunes, I would be putting them in folders while they were downloading/installing and everytime one would finish it would stop me from moving icons so the icons would stop wiggling. But in iOS 6 i noticed that I was able to move them into folders and not be interrupted. I had iTunes put like 20 apps on my phone and I was able to move all of them around even while they were installing and completing and moving on to the next app.
 
Photos app now has "+" to add new album, previously you had to click "Edit" to get the "Add" option.

It's not available on the 4S, I'm 99.9% sure it's been that way since launch.

That's why I said AT&T iPhone 4- ONLY. Not 4S. Just the AT&T iPhone 4-ONLY has that feature. Doesn't the 4S use 3.5G HSPA+? Technically that's 4G. So when you drop out of HSPA+ don't 4S users revert to regular 3G or Edge?

I wasn't being rude, just saying. And I don't know much about network technology so I'm not sure.
 
Supplement to my post above. The songs aren't actually there until you click the button seem under the songs you own.

Sorry. The "ONLY" aspect wasn't meant be mean. I was just repeating it again to make it more correct to me. To make sure I got my point across clearer.

Also you have good taste in music. B.o.B is awesome.
