Here’s a summary of some of the changes in iOS 14.5 beta 2 below:

  • Modem firmware update
  • Settings > Software Update > text wording changed
  • 217 new emojis
  • Music app: slide a song to play next/last
  • Music app: menu animation when playing a song looks updated
  • Shortcuts: new option to incorporate screenshots
  • MagSafe/Wallet: haptic feedback when you remove the charger
  • Watch app: new accessibility option for Headphone Notifications
  • Unlock iPhone with Apple Watch: new icon on Apple Watch
  • Emergency Alerts: wording changed
  • iPadOS 14.5 beta 2: microphone will now mute when Smart Folio closed
  • Green tint when booting up on iPhone fixed; still shows on bright videos

Zollotech says there is still a bug with the MagSafe charging animation, while iPad Pro 11-inch (1st gen and later) and iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd gen and later) still can’t connect to external displays with a USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter.

We still need a few more beta versions before a widespread public release is made available for iOS 14.5, so stay tuned for that.
