The time has come again when we get a new iOS beta every two weeks, which also includes new functions or interesting changes. So now we come to our classic and above all clear summary. Let's get started. In the second beta of iOS 14, Apple has optimized performance, added new features and made some changes.
Calendar – The calendar icon was revised during the update. The day of the week was abbreviated.
Clock – The clock app or clock symbol has also been redesigned. It now has thicker hands. The numbers have also been made a little bolder.
widgets – Something new has also been added to the widgets section. Starting with the second iOS 14 beta, there is a new widget for “Files”.
congestion zones – Apple has added a warning feature in the second preview of the new iPhone operating system. This means that warnings are now issued in cities with congestion toll zones. There are also warnings for license plate restriction zones in countries that have such a regulation.
weather widget – In the first version, Cupertino was displayed instead of your own location. Apple seems to have now fixed the error. From now on, location tracking should work again for everyone.
