For iPhone 14 Pro models, iOS 16.1 users also need to wake up the screen to see this change, as the Always-On display will continue to display widgets.

  • lock screen charging indicator

iOS 16.1 beta 2 brings back the lock screen charging indicator. Once you charge your iPhone, it will display a battery percentage for a few seconds at the top of the screen, and then it will turn back to the widget you selected earlier. In this way, the charging indicator light will appear again every time the lock screen is waked up.

For iPhone 14 Pro models, iOS 16.1 users also need to wake up the screen to see this change, as the Always-On display will continue to display widgets.

This is not the only change Apple has made to the battery icon. Apple has redesigned the battery percentage icon and has been dynamically updated in iOS 16.1 beta 2. Even if the percentage is less than 100%, the battery icon itself will no longer appear as full. Instead, the icon will change dynamically based on your battery level.

  • Major fix

iOS 16.1 beta 2 No longer need your permission to paste, paste again, and also paste (hey, do you want to paste?)

When the application accesses clipboard to try to autopaste, you will still see pop-up messages for copying and pasting. This is similar to how privacy-oriented features work in iOS 15.

However, when you manually copy from one application, click on the text field and select Paste in another application, you don't see a popup. The change happened after the Apple executive confirmed yesterday that the "Confirm Paste Every Time" popup was not expected behavior and will be fixed in future software updates.

  • Three-finger system gesture

In addition, today's iOS 16.1 beta 2 version also fixed issues related to Three-finger system gestures. This gesture error often causes the system menu to display or undo/redo pasteboard action alerts instead of performing the correct action of the three-finger gesture assigned to each application.

  • balance point

In the previous version, although the continuous pasting permission was to protect customer privacy, it did cause great trouble. I hope that Apple can find a suitable balance point in customer privacy and convenience through today's update. So today's question is, what other changes have you found in in iOS 16.1 beta 2 released today?
