iOS 16 beta 2 is out and better!

iOS 16 beta 2 was released on June 22, 2022, weighing about 2 GB.

iOS 16 pleased the Russians with the very first beta version, which showed the compatibility of most applications from the App Store with the new firmware.

Problems arose only with the VKontakte and Gosuslugi applications, but after a recent update of the VK application, it began to fully function under iOS 16. The Gosuslugi application does not yet work on all iPhones under iOS 16.

Problems on iPhones with iOS 16 beta 1 arosewe have described them here, but in general everything worked well for the first beta.

iOS 16 beta 2 has greatly improved the stability of iPhones. Application crashes are not observed. Of the significant applications, the State Services still do not work, and somehow 50/50. On some iPhones with iOS 16 beta 2, Public Services work, and on some they still don’t.

3. The iPhone will display the message “The website is trying to load a configuration profile. Allow?”. Answer in the affirmative – “Allow”. After that, the profile will be downloaded to the iPhone, about which a notification will be displayed on the screen.
4. Now we open “Settings” on the iPhone and at the very top we see “Profile loaded”. Click on this inscription and in the window that appears with the “iOS 16 Beta Software Profile” profile, click on the upper right link “Install”.
5. Then the text of the user agreement in English will appear on the iPhone display. Again, click on the link in the upper right corner “Install”.
