iOS 15.4 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

Status
The first post of this thread is a WikiPost and can be edited by anyone with the appropiate permissions. Your edits will be public.
* Hand washing reminders bug - not fixed
* HomeKit delays - not fixed
* UK dictation issues - not fixed
* Screen time device sharing bug - not fixed
* Find my custom location names change - not fixed
* Visual lookup - still not available (yes I know that’s not a bug, that’s just down to Apple’s arrogance)

WTF have they been doing??? The first five were introduced with iOS 15 and still exist to this day. Yes I am aware they aren’t major bugs but they have had more than enough time and releases now. I mean, Christ they’ve not exactly loaded iOS 15 with many new features to keep them busy! All reported, all ignored, again!

This post is copied verbatim from my post in the iOS 15.4 beta 1 thread. Sweet FA has been fixed across any of my devices.

ESPN just updated their app to work with beta 1. Kind of scared to try beta 2 in case it breaks it again. Can anyone confirm is ESPN crashes on beta 2?
 
Don’t know if this is new but it now says to look down when unlocking with a mask

You've pretty much answered your own question there — they aren't major bugs, and engineering is too busy creating new ones to make much headway into the backlog of old ones that don't get called out by anyone but beta users on a tech forum.

Also, they have been working on new features, many of which were already announced (and thus would be higher in the engineering priority queue):
  • Universal Control
  • SharePlay
  • Tap to Pay
  • Government ID cards
  • iCloud Private Relay
None of these are trivial features; they either have hooks into a lot of different parts of the OS, deal with private customer information, or involve governmental regulation, any of which would result in much more pain and visibility if they were to screw them up, so that's where they're going to allocate the majority of their limited resources.

Since iOS 15? Amateur.

I still have an open feedback "Will be fixed in a future iOS 14 update" related to the Calendar widget that's been broken for over 1.5 years.

True Tone seems really aggressive on this beta. My greys look more green and I’m seeing raised blacks. 13PM

I’m not disagreeing with you in anyway shape or form, but the hand washing reminder when getting home affects absolutely everybody, the dictation issue affects absolutely everybody in the UK (when it has been used enough). The Find My bug is in a brand-new feature, you would think they would want to get new features working correctly.

My Philips Hue lights work instantly when using HomeKit for me.

I'm in the UK and when I use dictation, I've not encountered any issue that's gotten in my way.

I've had no issues with hand washing when I'm at home, there's no gaps in my records in the health app.

Maybe I'm just lucky and should play the lottery! lol
