Saw that too today. I used calculator in landscape mode, then quickly switched to portrait and it looked like that.

I have to say, a couple of bugs here and there, nothing groundbreaking. Its really stable and fluid for a early major beta. I wonder what apple has in stock for beta 3 when they warn us in the release notes that its too unstable and thrill seekers should wait for improvements in the public beta lol

It’s easily reproducible. Gonna report it.
 
Bug in mail for me:

I always deactivate my exchange email account after working hours. However the already received emails are still in my „all“ section after deactivating said inbox
 
Running on XS Max after going from 12.4 to B2. Surprisingly no major issues.

Only bug I seem to have is volume control on my alarms. I set it, save it and when I go back in to check it, volume is set one click from the bottom. Sucks as I use this for my morning alarm and now it's not loud enough.

Battery settled down after a few days on beta 1 and performed well. On beta 2 it’s not going so well. Not had it off charge for long and down 6% so far.
 
How long has battery ‘insights and suggestions’ been a thing? I haven’t seen this before.

It’s right on the money btw

After some days, it’s still working for you?
Turns out you were right! Didn't work every day and it seems the only reason it did work is that I have a habit of accessing my widgets first thing to check top stories in news. I also have the weather widget here and imagine the auto refresh here resulted in the successful weather report after the DND period ended. I filed feedback but not sure whether this will get fixed or removed as a feature given Apple's new approach to location access.

Folks,

Without the speech about not using Betas...

is Beta 2 stable enough for everyday use at this point? I am not looking for perfection, but if it's mostly usable I would like to install this.

Thanks so much

Here is my experience, I get some drop calls (receiving) sometimes, some apps won't work, or partially function, other than this, I am happy with the update.

Thanks. Yeah, I guess it’s going to be fixed, or at least hope so. It’s nice to see the weather on the lock screen. I see some other apps (to example google maps) have the option always so I just think it’s going to be added as an option for more apps.
 
Swiping up while on 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. Home Screen no longer returns to 1st Home Screen, need to swipe right on every page to cycle through to get there on my Xs Max.

The general consensus is that it’s very stable and certainly useable for a daily driver. A few little bugs here and there but more annoyances than anything else and no show stoppers. Take some time and read through this thread it should be very helpful.
