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

[sbailey4]

Gonna do a clean install, I'm that paranoid of things going wrong lol

OR You can always do a clean install afterwards IF things go that wrong. 😁

Still lots of work to be done on widgets lol.

The Calendar and Clock icons have changed. I think the hands on the clock app were thinner before and the day in the calender wasn‘t abbreviated before.

The clock hands match the Apple Watch now.

4x2 weather widget not functioning (as noted above) on my iPhone 11 Pro. But 2x2 is working on my iPad.

CARROT Weather

Thank you

Its not.

Working perfect since update on XS pro Max. Weird. Seems I moved out of Cupertino 🙃

 

[mrochester]

I can’t update due to an error:

‘unable to install update. An error occurred installing ios14 developer beta 2’

I can either retry or remind me later.

I’ve tried restarting my phone (iPhone X) but no joy.

Okay, Safari has much improved for me. UI is a different level of smooth. Time will tell if this stays or goes. Updating to the Big Sur beta 2. Will see if that solves the iCloud Tabs problem. I expect the macOS version to receive serious polish.

Apple Music app crashes instantly when clicking the “search” button. Hard restart, still happening. Only happening on iPhone 11 Pro Max. iPad Pro 11” (2020) music app not seeing this issue.

Sorry, I thought we always had to go into jiggle mode to delete apps from the App Library. I’ve never had delete app as an option when long pressing an app icon while in the library. I’m glad it works this way now, it’s quicker than going into jiggle mode first.

Do widgets turn dark when dark mode is enabled for anyone? They stay white for me.

Is there Emoji Search on iPad now?

Yes they’re supposed to. I tested it out just now and turning on dark mode manually makes them change but there seems to be a bug because it then immediately changes back to white.

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.

Nope. Same massive "Other" section:

This AGENDA app looks interesting but I can't find it.

Nope, just a macOS esque popover picker which may or may not have been in the prior beta

You mean they're supposed to be dark?

When I switch dark mode on in control center, I see the widget turn dark in the background but as soon as I close control center it switches back to light.

The contacts are not ordering Kanji correctly...this started in beta 1 and still exists in beta 2.

 

[Banglazed]

The release notes now show what is resolved in this build

Nope, just a macOS esque popover picker which may or may not have been in the prior beta

But that’s only with a hardware keyboard right? Are you using one? Thanks

i did a restart and they're now staying dark in dark mode for me

 

[Chrisandy]

Not seeing this either - re: HomePod choosing different source

 

[NBKindaGirl]

When I switch dark mode on in control center, I see the widget turn dark in the background but as soon as I close control center it switches back to light.

Yes that’s what mine is doing now. It’s supposed to stay dark until light mode is activated again.

The News widget is present on both an iPhone 8 and an iPad Pro 11 (2nd gen) that I am testing iOS 14 DB 2 on.
