This beta is way faster than Beta 1. I can actually use it now. I had Beta 1 for a few days and couldn’t deal with how unstable it was. I could see this being PB1 next week. Or maybe tomorrow?

It was quite stable for me after awhile. A brief hang up here and there but didn’t have any other issues.

I don't know if this is new in Beta 2, or if it's a bug, but I noticed that iCloud Photo Library now fully updates over cellular, including uploads.

I don't want to spend too much time testing it as I have a rather limited 200MB free T-Mobile sim card in my testing iPhone, but I just wanted to let you all know to BE CAREFUL because if you leave cellular data on for Photos you could eat through quite a bit of your data plan if you take some long videos and let them upload when away from WiFi.
 
Has anyone used it on an iphone 6+? I'm using it on ipad pro and seems stable at this stage.

Thought this was fixed. But I guess not. This dam widget shows up on my lock screen. And I can’t dismiss it, no matter what I try.

Can anyone help me get this to show up over the air?

Check if your beta profile is still installed. Mine mysteriously disappeared. Otherwise, try a reset (hold home & sleep button) or check for updates on cellular instead of wifi. That has helped me in the past, when I had trouble having the OTA update show up.

It is new. It was never there before. However it still exists in Phone.app's settings as well.

Again, its technically not new. The functionality existed, it was just moved to there as well.

When you say something is new, it means it had not previously existed. In any form.
 
CarPlay directions now work. You can see turns etc and is far less buggy. However its not perfect. Siri still doesn’t work correctly and messages in particular are very wonky - not reading new messages, not sending messages and so o.

In Safari settings, there have been some small changes such as, "Try to Prevent Cross-Site Tracking" has been changed to "prevent Cross-Site Tracking". This may mean that they figured out how to actually do it, instead of just trying. And, "Block New Cookies And Data" has been changed to "Block All Cookies"

Still cannot swipe to dismiss notifications in the notification center. I have to long press and press x to dismiss them. Can’t dismiss all notifications at once either. I have to do them one by one. Starting to wonder if this is not a bug, but how Apple wants you to interact with notifications.

I can dismiss all at once. Long press, clear all. Gone.

Profile is still there. I tried restarting and I tried turning wifi off. Confusing.
