There are still a lot elements where you got this effect. Think they only reduced it (currently) for the Control Center.
I feel it got changed system wide as the change was made in the material element. Now the bottom UI of Mail or Safari looks like dirty smudged glass instead of just cleaned and polished.
 
So far overall a good improvement. Phone is running way cooler than before during regular usage. Liquid glass effects and animations seem to be more optimised and not as crazy demanding as in DB1.

AssistiveTouch broke. Slider opacity works in accessibility settings, but doesn’t save it once out on the Home Screen. Stays bright white circle. Was working in beta 1.
 
First part of the call screening message is still getting cut off in the UK.

If I dial my personal number from my work phone withholding it’s number to trigger the call screening feature there is no ring tone and Siri immediately answers but you only seem to get the last part of the message “I’ll see if this person is available” I reported this to Apple in the first beta too, as you could clearly hear the first part of the message get cut off as you’d connect mid syllable this time you connect at the beginning of the 2nd sentence so it is cleaner sounding.

I’m assuming the message is meant to go something like this “please state your name and reason for calling and I will see if this person is available” or something along those lines as I highly doubt “I’ll see if this person is available” is going to be a useful call screening message.

My personal phone is a 16 Pro Max on O2 and work phone is a Samsung Galaxy A33 on EE

Working fine for me on a 15PM (o2 and EE).
 
Rough update. Running iPhone 16 pro and it’s always running warm. Seems like contact posters in phone app are all broken. Shows up as missing assets.

Seems like some cloud service is broken and those images are not pulled. Maybe that is contributing to the heat.

Keyboard also seems to have an issue because every time I type now B, N are constantly being pressed instead of space bar. Almost like the mapping of the keyboard is a little bit off.

I understand this is beta so I’m not complaining, but just saying what I’m experiencing.

Also, the phone overall feels very laggy I’ve tried killing all the apps resetting restarting, but the lag comes back shortly.
 
Carplay on my 2022 Escalade only shows 1 widget now instead of 2 on b1 and the phone doesn't automatically change the sound to play through the car speakers, you have to manually change that even though carplay is active. also when you turn off the car the phone still thinks you're connected and have to change the audio back to iphone. These are new issues in b2.

Mine went from 3 stacks to 2 stacks. Odd look.

Battery app shows Phone app using most battery by being on screen. 0 background usage. Weird, must be the contact posters are trying to pull down but fail. Just speculating.

Glad you pointed that out.

I skipped Beta 1 and downloaded Beta 2 yesterday. I set up Carplay and couldn't figure out why I could only get one widget to appear on the widget page when I have five selected in the Carplay settings on my iPhone.

The same thing happens to me. I've tried several settings, but nothing seems to fix it. I'll have to disable it until they release beta 3 and fix it, because it's very intrusive now.

Bugs don’t normally make me this angry, but I’ve just encountered one that has made me rage and want to scream.

I was in the bath and trying to send my friend a voice message and decided to use Siri for it. I recorded a 90 second or so length voice message Siri only sent about 15 seconds of it.

I tried again, and it did the same thing, completely cutting off and deleting the rest of my message.

To add insult to injury my HomePod three rooms away from my bathroom picked up the request and is now in a loop of “send it?” over and over again.

F**king annoying.
 
Hey folks - I’m reading a lot of reports of “cold iPhones” with this b2 - but… my iP16PM is getting pretty warm, specially charging during the night. During the day, it has its moments where it gets pretty hot - but I couldn’t identify any special situation… any one with the same issue?

Does anyones keyboard on the space bar have this weird 'A' letter on it now? For some reason mine does.

Mine also runs warm or hot during the day and after two restarts it’s the same, b1 revised was great and cold, this one even took 1% of my battery health when I installed, had to remove the phone from the case and put it near the ac vent to get to a decent temperature.

I noticed my keyboard sounds and haptics were different when I updated to ios26. It was mainly on apple apps such as mail, safari, and messages. I updated to beta 2 yesterday and continued to have the newer sounds and haptic until this afternoon when it defaulted back to the ios18 sound. Anyone else notice or have this issue?
