Public beta 2 is out. Y'all know what you might want to do.

can anyone explain this?

It is new software that basically allows you to look at the camera, but still look like you’re looking at the person that you are talking to.

I’m glad it fixed notifications on my Fitbit versa. Haven’t been able to notice much more than that though. Definitely seems snappier, but I know that can change as time goes on.

It's not just me. Others were talking about it.

I think it’s a dark more thing. Because in light mode, it seems to be the old shade of red.

It's a feature mimicking eye contact during Facetime. The location of the camera on the iPhone makes it impossible to make direct eye contact with someone you are talking to via FaceTime. This adjusts the eye contact for that. It makes it look more like you're looking directly at someone.
It uses ARCore, which is the same technology that Apple currently uses on animoji.

Not on my 6s Plus. It looks orange on both dark mode and light mode. And not everybody sees it. Some see the original red in dark mode.

Not on my 8 Plus. My badges look exactly the same light or dark as prior to PB2.

If anyone still hasn’t run a beta for iOS 13, I would recommend that you DO NOT start with this one.

I am not seeing any issues on beta 2 that make it "worse" than beta 1.

Agreed. The only little bugs I've spotted are those that were in the last public beta.

 

[PlainEnvelopes]

The red notification badges are definitely a lighter shade of red. Wonder if that's intentional?

Yeah, it is an interesting pink/red now. It was super early in the morning when i downloaded it. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

I think that’s absolutely wonderful. Not being facetious. It varies person to person.

I still stand behind my recommendation to anyone that hasn’t installed a beta at this point.

My only issue and first time trying on the beta is google maps crashes. Glad I have navigation in my Rogue
Apple maps not an issue

 

[flyinion]

Well, just found my first "serious" issue. It's likely an app issue though so I'll be stuck for a while. Just tried to actually create/send an email in Spark. Not sure if it has to do with it being a reply to an older email or not, but when I typed anything, nothing actually was showing. I had to go to the stock mail app to create and send it which worked fine. First time I've opened the stock mail app in like a year+

 

[flyinion]

Just checked and it's weirdly something with a reply to that email chain. A new email had no issues. Going with app issue of some kind related to not playing nice with iOS 13.

Has anyone figured out if we can change the Maps application that shows up on the new CarPlay screen?

Also, why does every major beta release always break nickname shortcuts for “mom,” “dad,” etc?

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

No, we cannot. I don’t know if apple has made it clear yet as to whether they will allow third party maps apps the API for that in iOS 13.

This is a feature for the Xs and Xr? Doesn’t show on my X.

No issues here.

 

[BBGary]

The issue i had was opening saved pins from boards created within my account.

 

[kenny213]

Just found my first major issue. The Yahoo Mail app won’t open. Just goes to the splash screen then right back out to my home screen.
