In addition I found that if you go into contacts and touch "Send Message" for that contact, Messages open but just shows your current list of messages. Does not open a new one. Already sent a bug report but....am I seriously the only one with this?

Works on my Verizon 5S

I am not seeing this. Just tested on my iPad and it opened up a new message to that person.
 
Pulling down for Spotlight used to lag noticeably while sliding up the keyboard. It is now buttery-smooth on my iPhone 5 :)
 
When you turn on the flashlight in Control Center, the little switch on the flashlight icon now changes position to indicate that the light is on or off. Can't recall if this was in iOS 7, too, but if so, it was definitely broken in iOS 8 b1.

It's the same in iOS 7. Sorry lol
 
PSA: for those of you experiencing random bugs such as Emoji causing Messages to crash, try doing a Reset All Settings. It usually takes care of stuff like that after an update.
 
Really hope you keep it updated for us :D - The "beta 1" thread never saw so much as a single update to the OP!

So far I've noticed Safari seems more stable - it used to crash 3-6 times upon first opening from standby but now doesn't!

Unlocking my 5s also seems better (used to take a few seconds for the screen to come alight again!)

Also; Grindr isn't crashing anymore after receiving more than one message!

WhatsApp is still borked for me, although about to wipe out the iCloud storage and see how that goes!

Also; Feedly still doesn't seem to sign in via google (but again; about to attempt a clean out and reinstall of the app!)


Much snappier indeed. Grindr still crashing on mine when tapping on a message. Then again, that app is notoriously bad when it comes to stability.
 
Is anyone missing their 4G/3G toggle? I know that can be carrier specific so maybe not everyone who is experiencing this, but my 4G toggle is missing, strange.
 
I'm not sure if it's because of OS X beta 2 or iOS beta 2, but connecting to personal hotspots finally shows up on my mac (in the Wifi list):

That hasn't worked before for me.
 
I just noticed photos in my iCloud library are not in chronological order. I took a bunch of photos this morning, it will go from 10:40, to 10:44, to 10:42, to 10:40, 10:44, 10:40, 10:42..
 
When my iPad is being charged and I wake it, instead of the date is will show charge percentage then after a couple seconds change to the date. This is on the lock screen. This might not be new but I just noticed it lol.
 
For those that used B1 but Facebook wouldnt launch, does it launch in B2?
 
AirDrop still doesn't work well between iOS and OS X. My iPad sees my Mac running Developer Preview 2, but not my iPhone running beta 2. My iPhone and Mac sees nothing. Super weird.
