New in Beta 2 on iOS and iPadOS (tested both): Double-tapping a Picture in Picture video resizes it to small, medium, or large. Beta 1 double-tap just had small & large options.
Got a tip for us?

That’s been proven since Beta 2 was released today?
My other is only 8.57GB on a 256GB 11PM with plenty of free space.
So far Beta 2 has been way buggier than Beta 1 on my 11 Pro. Already looking forward to Beta 3. Widgets don’t always show up, I can’t switch to previous apps using the top left screen icon, and that’s just what I’ve noticed so far in the last 2 hours.
Edit: I forced reset the phone and it appears to have fixed the issues I described above.

I don’t seem to have any of these “show-stopping” bugs that get posted routinely in these threads (year after year); it can’t be luck, so I’m wondering how everyone is going about installing these betas in the first place, and which devices they’re using. I develop, so I run the first few betas on test devices (not my daily drivers)... aside from some graphical glitches here and there, and other documented issues, I haven’t hit a show-stopper in the years I’ve been developing, at least not in the years that they’ve had Public Betas. That said, I never recommend anyone run anything earlier than a PB 2 on their daily drivers. Especially if you rely on your devices for work. (MacOS beta goes without saying)
To each their own, though...

After a reboot (or two) my ProMax (256gb) is down to 12.37gb Other
After a reboot my IPP 11 G2 (256gb) is down to 18.8gb Other
Improvement over Beta 1
On the other hand, spell check still sucks.

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but Exchange email isn't currently working in beta 2 (was working in beta 1) for me. It's possible Apple changed something here but the problem seems to be on the email side, asking for admin approval to allow "Apple Internet Accounts" to access resources in my organization. I don't have anything nice to say about the people managing our email (previously we ran our own servers, now we don't; it's been a *lovely* transition and loss of features) so I wouldn't put it past them that a config change happened in the past 14 days and the new login request was denied but just a heads up for people using similarly poorly managed corporate / education exchange email on O365.
Interesting and yes I got the settings badge but asked earlier and found out how to clear it.
Just to add another data point, iPhone SE 2020 here and also had the data recovery for both B1 and B2 upgrades.
This is what I did on my iPad Air 2 and it went back to normal on the “other “ what was the “other” at before the reboots? Did it go back to normal when you were on iOS 13?
I've always update OTA, but this time would like to use the IPSW from the developer site: is Xcode 12 beta 2 needed too to update iOS or is it only for Big Sur ? Thanks and sorry for the naive question.
Not naive at all. You can update with Catalina and Xcode 12. Once you install Xcode 12 beta, open the app so it can download additional components. Once that's done, you can close it and you're good to go.
I have the news widget? Works great

Mine is always 18/20GB and has been like that since iOS 13b1

I have been running dev beta since iOS 12 on my 10 xs Mac and it’s my daily device and I never have big enough issues where I cannot use my device and over time obv things get fixed..... I also read these comments and can’t figure how people get all these issues. Strange how it can be dame phone yet someone have 100 issues you know

it’s works great for me not a single issue with O365
My reported storage has dropped throughout the day. Went from 3.5~2GB. Nothing changed or added on device. Nothing installed. Still a mess. 2GB was about what B1 reported but I did get a temp boost of 1.5 when I installed B2. I know free storage is actually about 6.5GB
PS: I activated iCloud photos on the day I installed B1 to free 6GB and since then my storage has gone DOWN 1GB despite not installing/adding anything.

I am finding Beta 2 a lot more buggy than Beta 1. Little things like favorites bar not showing in Safari despite the slider set to on. Toggling it to off and back on will solve the problem, but it returns a few moments later. On ipadOS, some shortcuts will not launch from the widgets despite the shortcut not being broken (will launch from within shortcuts etc).
