Disable One-Handed Keyboard from Settings App

In beta 2, users can disable the one-handed keyboard directly from the settings app. This feature is accessible through the new B or Date on the Calendar App Icon, which also introduces a new Safari settings panel for experimental features. To access this feature, go to Safari's preferences and tap "Advance." From there, you'll see "Experimental Features," allowing you to experiment with various new features designed primarily for web developers.

New Experimental Features in Safari

The new experimental features in Safari are aimed at web developers, providing them with a range of options to test and refine their websites. This includes new long press tab options that enable users to close just the tab they're looking at and open up a new private Tab. Additionally, the landscape Safari tab interfaces is now available on smaller devices, offering a more streamlined experience.

Control Center Music Widget Update

The control center music widget has been updated to display the playback source, allowing users to easily identify whether it's their iPhone or another device playing music in the background. Furthermore, the do not disturb while driving toggle in the control center now works seamlessly, automatically suppressing notifications when connected to a Car Bluetooth or set to manual mode.

Do Not Disturb While Driving Feature

The new feature, Do Not Disturb While Driving, has been added to the settings app under "Do Not Disturb." This option activates automatically when the iPhone detects motion in a car, based on the "Detect Motion" setting. Users can choose to activate this feature manually or set it up for specific contacts. Additionally, an auto-reply feature allows users to respond with pre-defined messages, such as "I'm not receiving notifications," while also providing an option to reply urgently if needed.

Customization Options

Users can customize the do not disturb while driving feature by selecting from various options, including how they want to be contacted in case of an emergency. The feature also respects Siri's capabilities, allowing users to receive only audible feedback if their iPhone is set to silent mode or Do Not Disturb While Driving.

Significant Locations Update

In beta 2, the "Frequent Locations" option has been renamed to "Significant Locations" and can be found in the settings app under Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This change allows for more precise location tracking and provides users with better insights into their movements.

Add Legacy Document Providers to Files App

Users can now add legacy document providers to the Files app, a feature previously unavailable in beta 1. This update expands the functionality of the Files app, enabling users to manage their files more efficiently.

Table View Gesture Update

The UI table view in beta 2 has introduced a new system gesture for quickly entering edit mode. By tapping with two fingers on any cell, users can now directly enter edit mode without having to press the "Edit" button.

Echo Messages App Animation

In beta 2, the Echo messages app animation feature has been updated to display orange bubbles instead of blue. This change enhances the overall user experience and provides a more visually appealing interface.

Updated Search Results in Apple Music

The search results in Apple music have been updated in beta 2, breaking down results into categories such as people, albums, and songs. The new design makes it easier for users to target exactly what they're looking for.

Photos App Editing Mode

The details button in the Photos app has been replaced with an edit button, allowing users to jump directly into editing mode by tapping on the edit button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Furthermore, users can now drag and drop multiple items from one album to another within the Photos app.

Control Center Preferences Update

In beta 2, the control center preferences have been updated to bring back the "Access Within Apps" option previously found in earlier versions of iOS. Additionally, customized control center toggles are now placed in their own preference panel for easier access and management.

AirPlay Button on Lock Screen Music Controls

A new handy AirPlay button has appeared on the lock screen music controls, allowing users to quickly switch between different output devices or connect to Apple TV.
