CTOnews.com news on October 26, Apple today launched iOS 16.2 / iPadOS 16.2 developer preview Beta update (internal version: 20C5032e) to iPhone and iPad users, 14 days after the last release.

Apple today offered developers the first Beta beta of iOS 16. 2 and iPadOS 16. 2, introducing more new features promised in the iOS 16 update. The following is the arrangement of updated content (from MacRumors, etc.)

Freeform application

Apple launched a new cross-platform Freeform app for the first time in iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2 and macOS Ventura 13.1, which aims to allow iPhone, iPad and Mac users to work together in real time. Freeform is designed for collaboration. Multiple people can contribute pictures, notes, graffiti, files, web links, PDF, etc., and the added content is visible to everyone.

Multiple people can work on the same Freeform document, and all participants' updates are synchronized in real time. Apple says Freeform can be used to sketch projects, design emotional boards and brainstorm ideas, and the app can be used as a creative space.

Apple's Freeform app works with Apple Pencil on iPad and with FaceTime to provide visual feedback between Freeform participants.

Pre-stage scheduling external display support

The pre-stage scheduling on the iPadOS 16.2 M1 and M2 iPad can be used again with external monitors. This is a feature that Apple removed in iPadOS 16.1 to extend the front scheduling function to the A12X and A12Z iPad Pro models.

With the support of external monitors, front-end scheduling supports multitasking for up to eight applications instead of four. This feature is limited to M1 and M2 iPad.

New Home Home Application Architecture

In conjunction with HomePod 16.2 software, iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2 and macOS Ventura 13.1 have added support for the newer Home home application architecture, which emerged after the addition of the Matter smart home standard.

Prior to the launch of iOS 16, Apple promised a new architecture for Home home apps and said it would be a separate update. Apple says this leads to faster and more reliable performance, which is especially suitable for smart homes with a large number of smart accessories. Users will be able to communicate and control more effectively with connected accessories from multiple devices at the same time through Home applications.

Updating the Home app architecture will require all Apple devices connected to the home to use the latest software, and those devices without updates will not be able to access HomeKit settings through the Home app. To install architecture updates, users need a device running iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2 or macOS Ventura 13.1, as well as HomePod 16.2 beta software.

Extended 120Hz ProMotion support

On devices that support ProMotion, Apple said that changes in the animated layout of SwiftUI will support the refresh rate of 120Hz, which was not previously available.

Unexpected SOS call report

Apple appears to be updating data on unexpected SOS calls, and a user reported Apple's query on the phone that collected data from the system.

"the new iOS 16. 2 supports unexpected emergency SOS call reporting. I accidentally triggered the emergency SOS and the police ended up in my house."

Software update

Apple has made minor adjustments to the Software updates section of the Settings app, which is available under General. Now, the installed version of the software has thicker text, making it more obvious.

The iOS 16.2 Beta lock screen adds a sleep widget that leverages data stored in the "health" app, as well as data collected by Apple Watch or other sleep tracking devices. Provide information such as bedtime and sleep quality in bed. There are three variants to choose from.

IOS 16.2 Beta re-adds real-time event integration for selected sports events to the iPhone built-in Apple TV app. The game can be tracked in real time on the lock screen or on iPhone 14 Pro Smart Island.

IOS 16.2 fixed a smart island occlusion problem.

Known problem

Apple also announced that some of the Bug that existed in the first version of the "boundless" App: you cannot delete a plate when offline or if Freeform is disabled in iCloud; adding or removing collaborators may fail when trying to change shared settings.

For front scheduling, Apple warned: when using front scheduling with an external monitor, dragging the second window to the workspace mistakenly hides the list of recent applications-moving all windows in the workspace to the right.
