iOS 12 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[MrGimper]

Is haptic feedback when unlocking with TouchID new?

Subtle touch but the Location icon in the status bar got updated.

Looks the same to me.

Update fixed Screen Time so that I can see reports on my son's phone usage now. (It's the little things.)

now I am headed out into traffic to see if my GPS issues are fixed. I'll go ahead and do another restart after the install of beta 2

Can't wait for EverythingApplePro to find the 876 changes in this release..

Got to hand it to him though he is damn thorough when checking.

Looks the same to me.

See image below. Left = Beta 2, Right = Beta 1

Also, the spacing between hours is slightly larger, and the blue is darker on Beta 2

I can see it now. But, I didn't initially because I was trying to spot something more significant than a font change since you said it was redesigned.

Just got too excited, bad choice of words, haha.

Do the other phones have to be on iOS 12 too or can they be on iOS 11 to see family screen time?

I think shortcuts is used as a part of Siri if you go to settings scroll down to Siri and search you find shortcuts there

It is now, but it will get its own app at some point, as demonstrated at WWDC.

The animation when you 3d-touch a notification on the lock screen is a bit faster I think

If anyone is experiencing issues with iCloud Messages. Check that it is switched on in the settings on your phone. I found that on updating my X it had switched off. My IPP 10.5 and MBP on Mojave Beta 2 remained on however.

Since switching back on iCloud Messages has been working fine.

Did it fix the issue where cellular bars where appearing on WiFi only iPads?

Yes, no longer showing.

 

[Ossyref]

Seems like Face ID is much faster and overall Face ID animations are also a LOT faster too (unlock and authentification)

I was just going to say the same, appears much quicker for me when unlocking my X

 

[Banglazed]

Text size of “media types” and “other albums” in the Photos app is bigger than beta1.

This might be redesigned too

In my iPhone 8 Plus, vibrate when used Touch ID to unblock the screen.

Came to post this. A fairly dramatic buzz haptic feedback on 7+ when unlocking.

Edit: And turning off System Haptics does not stop it. Hmm.

Screen time on Beta 2 crashes on launch for one of my daughters phones, iphone 6...crashes my devides screen time when i click her name and it crashes on my daughters actual device...been trying to figure out the pattern of why it's doing it, but have no clue. Does anyone know how to do a full reset of screen time?

 

[Natya Sadella]

Holy ****, fast skipping songs is fast wtf

No buzz here on 8+

Sweet. Also, as per front page post, there's a new introductory splash screen for Voice Memos in iOS 12 beta 2.

 

[kevmclane]

Woo Bank of America fully works again and Fortnite no longer crashes.

 

[TL24]

Not sure if this has been posted yet but iMessages blue (your reply) is now dark blue instead of fading into a light blue as you scroll down. I personally like this change! Not sure if it's a bug or an intended change.

**UPDATE**

It looks like it's still has a hint of a lighter blue but the overall color is much darker than before. Again I really like this change.

Same here, have to manually head to carrier settings and have the sim unlocked. Weird bug or intentional. Same behaviour if I shut down and start again.

Workaround : enable and disable airplane mode and the phone will ask for sim pin code

Or just go to Mobile Data > SIM PIN and unlock your SIM.

Weird. Tried a restart and it's still happening. Looking for a setting but haven't turned one up yet.

 

[19SK91]

Status bar on iPhone X is misaligned in control center.

Also the SIM pin promt doesn‘t show until turning airplane mode on and back off.

Tried a restart, issues persist.

 

[ohernan]

Is walkie talkie working?
