Strangely don't see that.

Well, certainly far from useless. Although certainly perhaps less useful for some.

It's there

When clicking the search bar in safari there are now icons for disney , espn, apple, yahoo.. I never noticed that in beta 1

I think this means you've added them to your bookmarks toolbar. I had them in beta 1.
 
I think you misunderstood me. I know Apple doesn't put the popup there. That's the dev's choice and there's a lot of complaints about those online.
I was just wondering whether the option to Contact the dev was something new.
No big deal either way ;)

Definitely no big deal! But I did understand you - I wasn't implying that Apple forces the pop-up. But they also do not facilitate it. There is no "show app rating pop-up" call in the SDK.
 
Can't find a place for Beta 2 bugs so here goes:

Receive a text with a phone number in it. Tap Hold the phone number. Leave the pop-up menu open and lock the phone. Unlock the phone and go to texts. The popup menu is still there. Click cancel on the popup and messages app will be locked up.

I've repeated this a few times and it is consistent, except the messages app crashed/restarted itself one time.
 
Not sure if this is new to Beta 2, but I didn't notice it with Beta 1...

Setting a new wallpaper image from the Settings.app, it overlays the date and time so you can place the image in the right place.

"iMessage showing nickname"

I found the options under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Short Name (under contacts section)
With these options you can select what you'd like to see when there isn't enough room to show their full name, which was primarily used in group messages, the default for mine was "First, Last Initial" which was super annoying. Also, you can toggle if you'd like nicknames to be displayed instead. I really like this customization! Also, if you don't want short name to be activated, you can toggle that as well.
 
Not sure if this has been posted before or if this was in Beta 1 but if you swipe left in a conversation, you get a time stamp for each messages.
 
Google Authenticator not working for me. I can add an account but when I kill the app the account is gone. Adding a second account is hit and miss as well.

Working for me. I added my account with beta 1. I've reboot/killed the app several times, even in beta 2 and the account is still there. I don't have a second account to try.
 
real multitasking enabled???

I just opened instagram and my feed was magically already updated to the newest photos from my friends.. I didn't have to pull to refresh or anything.

Does this mean that Apple has implemented smart multitasking with beta 2? I never noticed it in beta 1.

If so this is awesome!
 
I really miss in the music app that you used to be able to shuffle an entire genre or all songs by an artist.
 
Contact pictures in group messages

I see contact pictures in group messages. If you don't have a picture for that contact it shows their initials. Very Nice.
