iOS 16.1 is going to be an update full of new features, the second beta comes with many improvements.
Apple has released the second beta of iOS 16.1 and the company continues to improve its system with more than interesting news. This version will not only allow the use of the new battery icon that shows the percentage on older iPhones, has also completely redesigned the iconwhich is now more dynamic.
Precisely one of the main complaints from users about the return of the battery percentage to the status bar of the iPhone was the design of the icon. An icon that always showed the full battery with a number. This changes in iOS 16.1 as now the number appears and the indicator goes down or up depending on the load. But that is not the only novelty found in beta 2 of iOS 16.1.
All the news of iOS 16.1 beta 2
Hopefully Apple releases this update in a few weeks, maybe we’ll see it in early October. These are the main novelties that we have found in iOS 16.1 beta 2.
new battery icon
As we have said, one of the main improvements. It seems that Apple has listened to users on this issue adding compatibility with iPhone XR, iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 mini and 13 mini Y changing the design for a more dynamic one.
Now we will not only see the number showing the percentage of battery that our iPhone has left, but also the battery icon will go down so that we can visually get an idea, as it did until now.
Lock screen charging indicator
The battery charge percentage is now displayed above the time again when the iPhone is charging, so that we can know how much battery the phone has charged without having to unlock it.
Apple Fitness+ now available without Apple Watch
Apple announced that with iOS 16 users could access Apple Fitness+ without having an Apple Watch. As of iOS 16.1, and tvOS 16.1, Apple’s service can now be accessed without the need to wear the watch.
bug fix
Apple has corrected in this update the most annoying error in iOS 16, which asked over and over again if we wanted to paste something from the clipboard in a specific app. In addition, other bugs have been fixed, such as the one that prevented us from sliding through the folders. At the moment the iPhone 14 Pro camera error in third-party applications has not been fixed.
Of course iOS 16.1 is going to be an update loaded with news. Both beta 1 and beta 2 have brought improvements and it is likely that Apple will continue to include them in future versions.
