More buggy than beta 1. My Home Screen icons disappear when enabling dark mode and the only way to fix it is to restart my phone. 15 Pro Max. EDIT: I found a workaround. If you switch between small and large icons it fixes it but you have to do that every time you go from light to dark mode
iOS 18 beta 2 is awesome updating my main iPhone it is a iPhone 12. Love your videos Brandon best Apple RUclipsr. Keep doing what you’re doing don’t change anything.
FYI: Beta 2 updates are historically more buggy than Beta 1 updates (for .0 releases), so don't be surprised if there are still quite a few bugs with this build

When you did your Apple Event live I was there but I didn’t get recognized because of how much people were there and showed love to your channel and you. Keep up the amazing work and don’t stop posting!
What happened to your battery? When you started the video you have 54 % but when you change application in minute 0:40 you pass to 54 to 88 in a second! It means a bug or something?
For the apple apps, I'm pretty sure most (if not all) already have dark mode versions but only a few 3rd party apps actually have the dark mode change I think
@KShedTech Because i like to see iSheeps reactions to "new features" on IOS that you guys claimed were "useless and unnecessary" years ago! Btw, Samung pay is faster than Apple Pay, and when it first launched, it worked literally everywhere due to Samsungs supporting NFC and MST, so no, it was not better and still isn't!
@@quadlui8220 The truth is it's kinda pointless apart from fast FTP. I also don't see how this is any more innovative than what a $200 chromebook does with a $200 android phone for the past idk how many years.
When I do geekbench tests, I disable wifi, data, bluetooth etc, restart it, leave it to idle for 10 or so minutes and only then will I run it. Usually rules out any discrepancies.
I believe u can, you just have to connect it(wired) to a laptop and use the iTunes app on computer to restore from last backup. It’s been a few years for since I’ve had to do that tho, so idk how accurate that statement truly is
Awesome Brandon- Some really great changes with this beta like iPhone mirroring which will definitely help me use my phone a lot less, I hope, but otherwise hopefully some more of the bigger ones like apple intelligence come soon. Thanks Brandon-Keep it up!
I was worried that was just me. I haven’t seen anyone else complain about that. Only way I figured out how to solve it was to send a text and then the volume goes back up.
The hold to customize lockscreen is USELESS and almost always activated by mistake! Are they ever going to fix that? Or at least add an option where you could disable it. You could always access lockscreen customization from Settings. No need for it to be on the lockscreen.
I can’t wait for this update but to be safe I won’t be updating till about October or November just to make sure most of the bugs are gone especially any involving the battery or camera.
I LOVE iPhone mirroring and see plenty of real world use opportunities. The biggest issue I've found so far is opening locked apps on the iPhone via iPhone mirroring and how to unlock them. Neither Face ID or the fingerprint sensor work and there's no option to input your iPhone passcode.
i am PRAYING they update the dark mode icons colours to actually look good. the current colours clash so much to the point it looks like a free android icon pack from 2014
The SharePlay feature you said you couldn’t get to work, is because it’s.. wait for it.. AN iPADOS feature. What I mean by that is that you can control your SharePlay partner’s screen only from an iPad. You can control either their iPad or iPhone, but only FROM an iPad. Make sense?
Using iPhone mirroring for texting/emails or anything we already have the app on our macs for, I can't see myself every opening mirroring to text someone back when I have messages on my mac
Yeah I agree but could be super useful for other stuff. Especially apps they don't let you install on your Mac, you can run them through the iPhone mirror. Fantastic !!!
There’s 2 things they definitely need to fix 1) which is when searching for a contact in messages, when you type of the name nothing pulls up. 2) this actually has been happening to me even in iOS 17 is when you type of very long notes the typing begins to glitch causing typing errors or jumping all over.
What would be really super cool with all of the new AT features? If Siri could be taught how to read lips. And voice dicatation could be a whole lot more accurate.
I’m just happy my notifications are working again.. Beta 1 I couldn’t get anything to work on the Lock Screen. I would have to go into settings and switch notifications on and off to get it to work for 5 minutes. Seems fine now
For me 18 beta 1 has been way more stable than 17 was when it was on beta. This is the price we pay for wanting to get the latest features ahead of time.
They definitely fixed some overheating and battery drain issues from beta 1, and rcs is up and running but my WiFi calling doesn’t work it seems and RUclips shorts freeze constantly.
Mirroring is a nice touch. Think it’s dumb to have the Dynamic Island up there for the purpose of simply looking like the screen. They can use the Mac notification panel for phone notifications when in mirroring mode.
The mirroring feature. Not understanding the hype. I can text, compose mail and read it, work in Note and drop pics into the app just with the Mac. Why mirror? Everything you said I can just use my Mac. Just want to understand what I am not seeing here.
it’s not about the built in applications but stuff that doesn’t have a mac app I don’t think I’ll specifically start up the iphone mirroring app very often, but being able to open any notification on my mac is something I have wished for in forever (actually, I always just thought about being able to see the notifications so this is even more than what I hoped for)
Apparently, you can do all of that without your phone being nearby. Your phone can be in another room and you can do all those things without the phone being with you. I think that’s amazing.
What is funny about this, that my old Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and The Samsung Galaxy Tab could do this back in 2013….Tim Crook is really pushing my buttons in all the wrong ways
So I don’t know how new this is, but when asking Siri for the weather and then ask “how about (another city)” she responds with the weather with that additional city
Could Apple please change the position of the mobile data toggle to where the AirDrop toggle is? It would be more convenient for us. What do you think?
Are questions ever answered on here??? I’ve asked a couple times why my iPhone 14 Pro only offered the 17.6 BETA VERSION, today‼️‼️🤔 Why? How can I get my Beta 18 iOS version??? Help!! Please!
One problem that I found after this update is that you cannot change your live photo to any like long exposure or anything else. I’m not sure if its only in my phone.
My audio is so messed up because of the beta. It switches my audio output to the phone call speaker (at the top of the screen) a bit randomly and I can barely hear anything anymore. I have the iPhone 15 and am really confused to why no one else is having this issue.
Thoughts on Beta 2?

I find it good as face unlock runs smoother compared to beta 1, also haptic issues are resolved on my end.
I was just about to search if u posted a video about beta 2 and then instantly got notification lol
Woooow
Hi Brandon,
Thank you for your video.
I resolved the screen time bug by hard resetting my iphone.
Great video! Striaght and to the point. Thanks Brandon!
Did it fix the bug where the volume gets lower when receiving notifications??
I was worried that was just me. I haven’t seen anyone else complain about that. Only way I figured out how to solve it was to send a text and then the volume goes back up.
Yes i have that bug too even on carplay. Volume gets low. You have to pause and play to fix it.
You all have made a difference with your kind words. Thank you!

Yeah so far that seems to be the case. Some of my android people have the RCS message and some still don’t. Maybe carrier and/or device specific.

Super buggy
I get what you’re what saying. It was for me too. I always chuckle though when we comment on how buggy betas are.
Beta 2 is more buggy than beta 1 😅😅

The Dynamic Island is an actual UI component in screenshots and mirroring. The notch doesn’t show in screenshots or mirroring.
I would be pleased if you could do a video on mirroring with iPhone, and thank you for the opportunity to make the request.
I think apple should consider bringing the auto brightness ☀️ feature to the control centre. It is stressful going to settings to do so.
you turn on and off auto brightness?
They should give us the ability to move the time on the Lock Screen to where ever we want.
