Setting Up Screen Time for Family

The new iOS update includes a feature to set up screen time for family, which was previously not possible. To access this feature, go to Settings > Screen Time and follow the prompts to set limits on individual apps, websites, and categories. The screen time section also shows stats and information about all devices connected to the same iCloud account. This allows users to view data from other devices, such as iPhone or iPad models.

Cellular Settings

Within Cellular settings, depending on the carrier used, there is a new section with more details. For example, T-Mobile users will see a new section with additional features and options. The accessibility options have also been updated, including increased contrast and smart invert. Smart invert now works more reliably on certain sites, such as YouTube.

Messages App

When using the Messages app, it appears that messages (both iMessage and regular) are now darker and appear to have a better overall aesthetic. Additionally, the artwork itself seems to be improved in terms of visual appeal. The interface has also been updated for iPhone 10 models, with a cleaner design.

Camera and Effects

When using the camera app, including the effects camera and shapes feature, it appears that the navigation has been slightly modified. In particular, the arrow buttons have been changed from going all the way to the right to only partially so. The emoji interface is also smaller and more compact than in previous versions.

Other Features

There are several other features in this update that may not be as well-known. For example, within the news app's browser section, there is a new Spotlight feature that provides quick access to popular stories and topics. When listening to podcasts with chapters, the chapter currently being played will now have a "Now Playing" indicator.

Clock App

The clock app has also been updated, removing references to time travel from previous versions. Instead, the current time of day (a.m./p.m.) is displayed on the top left corner of the screen. This change should make it easier for users to tell the correct time when using their iPhone or iPad.

iPad Changes

The iPad has received several changes in this update. One notable feature is a new "grabber" on the lock screen, which allows users to quickly access Control Center from anywhere. The clock app on iPads now shows the time in 24-hour format, making it easier for users who prefer this format.

Measuring and Software Updates

There are also several minor improvements and changes that may not be as well-known. For example, the measure app is now more reliable and less likely to lose track of itself or the point being measured. In addition, within the Settings app, users can now copy software update notes for reference. Within Screen Time, users can filter by category or individual apps and websites, making it easier to view specific data.

iOS 12 Beta 2 Performance

When compared to iOS 12 beta 1, there are some notable performance improvements in this update. A Geekbench test showed minimal changes in terms of processing speed, but significant improvements in animations and 3D touch interactions. Face ID also appears to be slightly faster than before, although it's possible that this is just a placebo effect.

Brightness Issue

There is one notable issue with brightness in the beta 2 version of iOS 12 - even when turned off, the screen remains at full brightness, which may cause eye strain or battery drain. This issue should be addressed in future updates.

Additional Features and Changes

As always, there are several other features and changes that were missed during this thorough review. These will be included in the next video, as they have not yet been documented here.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys it's been exactly 15 days since I was 12 was released today we got Iowa's twelve beta-2 and inside are a lot of goodies so I personally found a lot you guys found a lot let's bring them all together and show you in this video over 70 changes so Iowa's twelve beta-2 and the first one I noticed right away after updating on my personal iPhone is that all of the apps that were crashing and now no longer do so so I was very happy to learn that that bug has been fixed next thing you'll notice is that the speed improvements overall it just feels great again little lags here and there there are still some don't get me wrong I've noticed some but overall it feels much better and now this is a bit strange but some users on the iPhone seven and eight are reporting that with iOS 12 beta 2 they now get haptic feedback when unlocking using touch ID although some are saying they don't so I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug alright so we'll start on the lockscreen the notifications have gotten reworked with the animations if we actually 3d touch on them you'll actually notice it's very smooth and kind of fold-out animation and the larger the animation is the cooler it looks actually so very nice that Apple has paid attention to that the actual circle X here on the top as you can see is now easier to distinguish its brighter versus the old one and I notice this if you actually go and click on the stack notifications look at the Notification Center text it gets replaced with the text of the app that's belonging to so look at that it gets replaced by podcasts while over here it stays at Notification Center so definitely much cleaner looking sorry I just switched the phones around on the left now is beta 2 the newer one on the right is the older one anyways going to manage notifications you'll actually see that there is a bolder text on the options here whereas before it was slimmer and there was an updated description for what this managing does also there's a new animation of course when going into quick reply and after leaving it it kind of dissolves very nicely there I also notice that on the home screen when you jump into quick reply here and then you exit it oh and by the way look at that X is much larger there as well and if I exit it there's a new animation watch this so it kind of slides up instead of just bouncing outwards over here now from the lock screen when you're streaming content to an airplay device notice the canal turns blue also inside of the control center you'll notice the battery icon and percentage now sits a lower for whatever reason I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug I look at the top left there the privacy icon for location tracking is now rounded looks a little nicer now you have Bluetooth enabled it will no longer show in the control center previously it did here and I'm not sure again if this is a bug or a feature on Apple's part and in the control center the 3d touch platter for screen recording you'll notice the text with the disclaimer is now contrasted so it's a little easier to read and that feature where you can hold the space button to access the trackpad to move the cursor now works on the iPhone intent and all other devices that have 3d touch Apple definitely updated the 3d touch platter here the icon in the weather app notice that it's a little bit different so it's a darker there it's closer to the cloud so these little tiny differences I know it's funny but anyways you jump in and you'll notice that the overall shading is darker now on I was 12 beta 2 and if you look closely at the icons here they're smaller so smaller Sun icons the moon icons are smaller now the sunset sunrise icons are smaller so very very minimal differences but they certainly aren't there oh and the GPS now works properly in iowa's 12 beta 2 locks on properly it actually works with navigation whereas before we just spin endlessly and just really be a mess on the face ie D prompt now when using it within apps is slightly different has text below it so change that up a little bit in the app store you'll notice a new interface when you search so if I just type in anything here you'll notice the text is smaller now you can fit more also within the app store in your account settings there's a new tab for personalization now so in here you get the option to look over all of this ratings and reviews pre-order subscriptions purchase the apps and games so a lot more descriptive definitely and within the music app 3d touch has been reworked it's got a nice new animation so a different blur effect it kind of comes in a little bit differently I'd say it's nicer but it still needs a work it's a little janky here and I noticed this you can actually 3d touch onto the actual now playing bar where previously you couldn't you can only press on it and within these spotlight suggestions apps now have a little arrow as a shortcut and looking at suggestions here if you actually 3d touch on suggestion with the keyboard popped up it'll automatically be dismissed now in beta 2 and there's also a new animation here as well so it's slightly a little bit different it pops in fades in nicely background blurts out also it's just a little bit different so within these share settings of photos and lots of new icons here that have been reworked so any copy icon as you can see has been rounded looks more in line with the rest also we've got a new create watch face icon actually showing an Apple watch not whatever that is and there's a new assigned to contact icon as you can see a little bit smaller and the print icon has been made friendlier as well also the more icon as you can see is a larger here and within photos of the media types as you can see the text is now larger easier to read and within these Safari share sheets if I jump in here you'll see that the add to reading list icon the glasses have been made a little bit smaller and bolder and there's also a new icon for create PDF so as you can see that one's a little friendlier as well and if I actually jump into more here so the text previously for open in news has been affixed to open in and news in settings these search results have once again been optimized they don't give you this endless amount of info now it's more focused and there's a new interface here in the battery settings so as you can see there's a couple of new views here so on the main one it'll show you the battery level and it's more easier to understand view also if we go into the bar graph of you it's a little darker just easier to distinguish the bars here I guess just a little bit different and actually here on the bottom so where it said show activity it's now called show usage time inside the Do Not Disturb mode the description has been separated from up here and placed beneath the bedtime mode and in the notifications tab there's a new area for Siri suggestions where you can quickly disable or enable them for all apps and here now in settings there's a new splash screen for screen time or it'll give you info on what it's about and alongside that there are also new splash screens for downtime app limits and content and privacy and also within screen time a set up screen time for family also works previously it didn't you could just click it but nothing ever came up and within screen time you can actually look at other devices you own so click up here on devices and it'll show you these stats and info for other device that are hooked up to the same iCloud now within Cellular settings in here depending on which carrier you have you will see your carrier info I don't have it on Sprint but on t-mobile you will see a new section with a lot more details and with an accessibility increased contrast is no longer its own tab it has a little option right here and before I had reduced transparency inside of it now it's it's own option as well with a tab view which is kind of pointless they should have just made a toggle on that one as well and with increased contrast enabled on both jumping into the messages app you'll notice that your messages whether they're iMessage or regular will now appear darker and smart invert is now working even more reliably for whatever reason on certain sites YouTube for example it doesn't actually load the stuff properly now and I was 12 beta 2 the thumbnails as you can see are not reversed and the artwork itself if you guys use a SIM PIN there's a new screen the interface has been updated for the iPhone 10 looks much cleaner now and this is the new interface when actually being suggested a passcode within Safari it's much shorter than the standard keyboard looks very nice now within the messages app if I jump into the camera and the effects camera and going into the shapes parts a notice that it goes right up and then left instead of all right arrows any an emoji interface now is slightly smaller more compact previously you had more room here but the actual an emoji face doesn't shrink at all and jumping into the momochi editing section so right here remove has been replaced by deletes and actually in the editing portion if you scroll all the way down you can't quite scroll as far as you could previously before any voice memos app you have a new splash screen as well previously just greeted you with this and within the news app in the browser section you'll find a new spotlight section in here and when listening to a podcast with chapters going into the chapter here it'll have a now playing indicator on the chapter you're listening to as you can see right there and within the clock app that time travel references have been removed and relocated to the stock clock app here and lastly some iPad changes so the iPad much like the iPhone 10 now gets a little control center grabber on the lock screen in the top right looks kind of decent I guess and the iPad now shows a.m. and p.m. any clock on the top left now and a very welcome change when using an iPhone app on an iPad that's not supported of course for the screen size it will now show in the iPhone 4 points inch screen size instead of the previous iPhone a 4 inch size and this is very exciting Iowa's told bata to actually includes references to the Apple watch upcoming editions for this year so possibly a series 5 in here maybe the one with the larger display so there were several new model numbers found in the actual changelogs oh and I noticed that the measure app now is more reliable and easier to use so definitely doesn't lose track of itself or the point as fast as before and and I'll actually snap to the surface which it does more reliably now in beta 2 and don't know why you need to do this but you can now actually copy the software update notes within the Settings app and also within the screen time you can now filter by show categories or the individual apps and websites and you can actually go into them and get more specifics on both of the apps and the categories so very nice update here to screen time okay that's it for the features guys but I still wanted to mention a couple things so updating from beta 1 to beta 2 actually reduced the amount of storage that Iowa's 12 requires by 0.4 gigabytes so I got that back I also wanted to talk about the actual numbers so I'm gonna run a Geekbench on both here and there's that score not any difference from the first beta you know very very minimal change here the actual difference is the animations and 3d touch differences that Apple has implemented it feels much better and the face ID seems to be slightly faster but that could be a placebo this bug with the brightness is really gonna drive me crazy in beta 2 for whatever reason it's full brightness but it seemed really really poor ok and there it is I was 12 beta 2 I was pretty thorough but as always there will be more features I will include those in the next video if I did miss any which of course I did anyways thanks for watching guys stay tuned for the next one peacehey guys it's been exactly 15 days since I was 12 was released today we got Iowa's twelve
