iOS 12 Public Beta 2

[Frehley]

If you're on the iOS 12 beta, delete your beta profile from your iPhone, restart the phone (and the watch if you wish) and you should be able to update the watch with no problem. Worked for me and many others.

Yep, worked for me too. However, I wish that Apple could do something to make the update process a little "quicker"...it is painfully slow!

The word slow is not strong enough!

Have you run into any issues re-enabling the beta profile afterwards?

Reset iPhone and Watch. Still get this message. Is this an iOS 12 issue or an Apple Watch update issue?

Same here. I’ll follow the recommendation to delete the beta profile and see how it goes.

How do you delete the beta profile?

How do you delete the beta profile?

Find the profile in Settings > General and tap on it. You can delete it from there.

I assume your question was directed to me. No I just downloaded it and reinstalled it. We'll have to wait until the next update to see I guess!

Ok I've found one serious annoyance that I unfortunately suspect is a permanent iOS12 feature and definitely not some kind of bug. In messaging the ability to add photos to a message has been moved from tapping the camera icon to a "photos app" in the extra app bar. Why is this annoying? Well, 98% of the time I don't use anything in the app bar so I always did the "tap the 'A' icon" to hide the thing. Now I have to go into it if I'm typing a message and want to add a photo from the camera roll. My problem with it is the permanent loss of screen real estate.

While I agree with you that it is an annoyance, I have come to adapt to the new way of photo sharing pretty quick. In a few months you won’t even remember the ‘old’ way anymore.

My issues are like most others. Apple watch contacts not syncing. Ill try the fix. Also my wallpapers are not movable/scalable. And shuffle doesn't work correctly most of the time. One time I had 2 songs going at once lol.

It bothered me at first as well. But it took me about a day to get used to it. I definitely wouldn’t classify it as a serious annoyance. Change tends to be annoying at first so I get it, but I’m sure you will adjust.

Well, it's annoying because if I want to leave the app bar closed up to not take up extra screen real estate then it's an extra tap every time to get to them plus another extra tap after to close the bar back up. Before you just had to tap the camera icon and either take a picture or start selecting photos. The only thing I can think of is they didn't have a choice to move it because the camera needs to work full screen now to be able to do all the new stickers/AR stuff.

I was able to update my Apple watch now by deleting my beta profile. Yes!

Anyone having issues with date and time not settling automatically.

Have not experienced this... yet. Does a reboot resolve the problem?

It was my fault I’m battling bronchitis and didn’t realize how early it was. I had the correct time just thought it was later then it really was.

I’m sorry to hear this. Feel better soon.

Sometimes it’s a blessing to realize it’s earlier and sometimes it’s a curse. Depends on the day and perception.

Apparently contacts sync with Apple Watch is broke. Only showing numbers instead of names. Already did all the troubleshooting. I've had several folks say it's broke in the beta.

Good to know. Realised that just yesterday

I noticed that with the wallpapers, annoying!

Just an update on the Watch issue. My download in the Watch app reset. It re-downloaded the update and installed. No need to remove beta profile.
