Agreed, it’s a weird middle ground where you can kind of see the content around the window chrome but not really since the blur is so strong. Id rather see them improve the legibility of the actual glass so this intense effect isn’t needed.
Got a tip for us?

I didn’t run b1 so not sure how it was performance-wise (sounds like it wasn’t great) but b2 seems pretty jittery on my 16 PM, particularly on app open/close animations. Perhaps because I’m judging compared to 18.5 though.
Click the filter icon (top right) in the call window and select “calls”; then they’ll all come through. It’s not in settings.
CarPlay updates FTW:
widgets only have two columns now instead of three in the previous release and maps adds in a detail to the route with the street names visible on the blue route line
This is huge, the garage door control from homekit that pops up as you arrive home now has three dots that allows you to scroll thru all available garage doors!! In all previous versions it only allowed you the last door you opened...and this general persisted a few openings.

I have that selected. That feature just allows to see all calls, all missed calls or spam calls.

Phone running a lot cooler on latest beta
My CarPlay went from two Widget Stacks to one - I want the second one back.
Feedback submitted.
Pardon me if I misunderstood, but I thought all calls was what you wanted. That’s what I have selected, and at least on my phone, all calls come through. Do you have some other call filters installed?
Interesting, I'm no connected to my cars at the moment but they all show the same number of columns as before, maybe that will change when it connects and queries the capabilities of the CarPlay interface within the car.
I have noticed that changing the "Smart Display Zoom" setting resets the widgets too.
Apple Watch app crashes for me too, on iPhone 16 pro. And phone just started up very very hot, more than I ever noticed on beta 1. Ugh. No way to currently update watch from phone at the moment. Hopefully watch can at least update itself from the settings on the watch itself. Seeing if others have this issue, if any solutions. Maybe a 16 pro/pro max issue only?
I do not have any other call filtering. There seems to be no way for me to have all unknown calls to come through. I've tried calling my number from two different phone numbers, and they were both sent directly to voicemail.

I know it’s only been a few hours, but it appears as though I have avoided the Beta 2 curse this year!
I was expecting major issues, and so far, everything seems to be working “fine” for me at least. USA 16PM

I think it’s a fair expectation that they may have tackled one of the most widely reported bugs, especially one that is perhaps most debilitating to regular usage
Looks as though you’ll probably have to call Apple, but good luck: they’ll most likely say that they don’t answer questions about beta software. Otherwise, maybe someone else on this forum will come up with a solution. All I can say is it works for me.
I still can't change my home screen wallpaper from the lock screen. The option doesn't show. I have to do it in Settings > Wallpaper.
