iOS 18 Beta 2 Released: Expected Features Come to iPhone!

Apple has released second beta versions for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, as well as macOS Sequoia. The biggest problem for those currently using iOS 18 Beta was that the battery drained very quickly. Since this update is very new, we do not know whether it improves battery times, but many new features have been introduced.

What Does iOS 18 Beta 2 Offer?

Thanks to the iPhone Mirroring feature announced at WWDC 2024, it becomes possible to control iPhones directly from Mac. This feature was not available in the first beta version, but was activated with macOS Sequoia Beta 2. Now you can do everything on your Mac, from opening and using apps to managing notifications while your iPhone is locked.

With iOS 18 Beta 2, an option was added for the new RCS messaging protocol, which will replace SMS and MMS. However, this technology still has a limited area of ​​use; Currently, only ‌iPhone‌ users in the US with service from T-Mobile, Verizon, or AT&T can see it.

There are many other regulations in the renewed control center of iOS 18, such as preventing the power button from being accidentally touched, and complying with the European Union’s alternative application store decisions with iPadOS 18 Beta.

Of course, as we stated in our previous iOS 18 content, we do not recommend you to install beta versions. Many problems such as rapid battery drain, which were experienced in the first version, can be encountered in these beta versions offered to developers.
