iOS 14 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[gwhizkids]

To those with burning questions about beta 2, I think most of us are still in the "preparing update" phase. Stay tuned!

The release notes have added issues rather than reducing them.
It seems none of the issues being discussed in this forum for beta 1 have been addressed in this beta 2.

Agreed, which is normal for a beta 2, but looks like it will have all the same issues and a few more.

Somehow I have a bad feeling about Beta 2. Hehe

Knock it off! Do you not know what the word "jinx" means?!!

It's going to be a massive improvement to an already great beta 1. Watch.

Preparing Update is over soon for me

Beta 2 release notes aren't available as of the time I'm posting, so not sure where that poster is saying there are more issues.

For those who installed it already did it fix the storage issue?

I'm not seeing on Developer.Apple.com or the Feedback app, either.

Storage is still messed up I believe

 

[gwhizkids]

On HomePod, you can no select primary music services!

"no" or "now"? BIIIIG difference!

 

[thatJohann]

Storage is still messed up and my Cellular wont connect. The Cellular option in Settings is blank and I have no bars.

oh boy.. glad I held off on installing on my iPhone. Currently installing on my iPad Pro.

ugh nooooo. I know beta blablabla but it’s really the only major thing that so far annoys me on this beta cycle

On HomePod, you can now select primary music services! Spotify isn't listed as an option, as I presume they must update the app first?

Services can span music, podcasts, and audiobooks.

I can’t see any updates for my homepods - did you update the iOS on your phone first?

No im still on preparing update on iPhone, but HomePod updated fairly quickly.

It's probably an option in the Home app.

 

[BiggiePhat]

I can only imagine the phone has to settle in and maybe it'll recalc the Other and it'll stabilize. Otherwise im still using 33 gigs of Other and mine was an Update and not a fresh install.

Same here. Installed on iPad Air 2 but holding off on my iPhone

Yeah, on developer site it looks like just the original release notes so far, my bad.

 

[Dave.Inwood1988]

It's probably an option in the Home app.

I’ve checked - it’s doing the update now! Wasn’t there when I posted

 

[rumormiller]

Only 643mb download on my iPad. I wonder if we'll get app library.

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

And we're back! Widgets on the original widget page were put on a diet (a little more slim) and there's an automatic smart stack added to the top.

For those who installed it already did it fix the storage issue?

Nope. Same massive "Other" section:

 

[batting1000]

Still have 61.3 of 64gb used after updating. System still taking up 24gb for me

Calendar icon now has shortened day names now. “TUE” instead of “Tuesday”

 

[thatJohann]

The News widget is gone. At least on iPad.

Edit: It's back after opening the News app.
