iOS 10.2 Beta 2 - Changes, Bugs, and Fixes

[I7guy]

Noticed that when you're in WhatsApp with assistive touch on IP7+, sometimes it will freeze for a while before being responsive again.

I noticed some general freezing of assistive touch, can't put my finger on what causes it. Noticed it in mail and imessage amongst other apps.

Yeah, got to enable from settings first. It seems like a feature that Apple wanted to lose but the outcry made them add it back.
Why it seems so? Because if you haven't previously rated any songs then you won't even see the star ratings setting under music settings. I reported it as a bug but Apple replied that it's working as intended and closed the bugreport.

Where do I set this?

I am not sure if anyone has brought this up or is having this problem but when I drag a sticker in iMessages and place it in a precise place on a photo it actually places it just above the precise location it is meant to.

One speaker is at the bottom and one is where the earpiece is at the top.

They can be saved even prior to iOS 10.2.

Just downloaded mine and I don't have the TV app either. Sorry for an old question and not in the right section but does anyone know if "Hey Siri" uses or drains mobile data?

I didn't think I had the TV app either but I found it hidden in a folder that I have named as "Unused."

I have noticed some issues with backing up my iPhone 6S to iCloud. I started a backup yesterday and when I checked my phone this morning I noticed two things. First, 8 GB of storage in iCloud has disappeared since yesterday and second, last backup says "Never"? I have sent a report to Apple about this today. Has anyone else had this issue?

Might be an iCloud issue. Im getting that error on 10.1.1.

Some sites, like instagram, block image download with JavaScript. If you disable JavaScript in Safari settings you may be able to save the images.
Some sites, like instagram, will simply stop to work.

To bypass these restrictions you can use a little app that will let you download any loaded image.

Oh I see =). I haven't experienced this on any version that wasn't beta. Thanks for the input.

yes, used to be able to just press and save image

now one has to open the image in new tab before the save image option appears

Has anyone else been experiencing a severe battery drain? I'm on an iPhone 6s and this new beta gives my 5hrs of use, max. On 10.1 it was up around 7hrs...

Yes, battery life has been noticeably worse on my 7 Plus.

Odd, it works either way for me.

Just curious what network you're both on? I wonder if the new modem has anything at all to do with it? I was just about to try the beta and now I'm thinking I'll wait, can't afford worse battery life.

I'm on AT&T, but my wifi-only iPad Pro is draining a lot faster as well.

Same. I'm ending the day with about 20% less battery remaining than prior iOS 10 builds.
[doublepost=1479143387][/doublepost]Out of no where, the TV app just appeared for the first time on my 7 Plus right where the Videos app originally was with no restart or anything.

Today beta 3? weekly releases?

Today beta 3? weekly releases?

Just has been released!

 

[Cutiekitty92]

Anyone experiencing home button issues that it just doesn't respond sometimes then I try to press the power button and that also doesn't work? Just one big freeze then everything happens at once

I'm on Verizon. I have WiFi calling turned on, too.

I've been getting this weird notification bug ever since updating. Anybody know a workaround or fix? I've tried rebooting and restarting my phone multiple times.

Do you have 3D Touch enabled device? If so, you need to peek the image and swipe up and there will be a menu with "Save Image" and "Copy". Seems new in iOS 10 for 3D Touch devices.

On my iPhone 6, all I have to do is long Touch the image and the save menu will appear
