iOS 16.1 beta: The battery progress bar is back! No longer showing full charge

​Early this morning, Apple pushed the second beta version of iOS 16.1 to developer preview users. Users who have installed the description file of the iOS 16 beta version can directly open Settings-General-Software Update to upgrade to the latest iOS 16.1 Beta2 beta version online OTA.

The size of this update package is about 5.2G, and the updated version number is (20B5050f). According to Apple’s update prompts, this update is still mainly focused on fixing bugs and optimizing the system.

iOS 16.1 battery progress bar returns

According to feedback from some users who have upgraded, iOS 16.1 has fixed the frequent pop-up window problem that appeared in iOS 16. When we copy and paste again, the pop-up window prompt of "Allow Paste" will not pop up.

Seeing this, the editor upgraded his iPhone to the latest iOS 16.1 Beta2 test version without hesitation, but... the pop-up prompt was not really fixed.

After testing, some of the apps we often use do not have pop-up prompts, such as WeChat, QQ, Weibo, Alipay, Douyin, Safari browser, etc. However, there are still many apps that still have pop-up prompts, such as Kuaishou, Jianying, Baidu Tieba, etc.

It is not clear what the reason is at the moment. It may be that some apps have not yet been adapted, or it may be that the system pop-ups of iOS 16 have not been fixed.

In the previous iOS 16 system, in order to prevent certain apps from stealing the contents of the user's clipboard without the user's knowledge, a pop-up window will appear when the app reads the clipboard to prompt the user whether to allow reading.

However, since the pop-up prompts appear too frequently (mainly because the App is frequently read), it has also caused resistance from many users. Even on Weibo, you can still see related hot searches about iOS 16 pop-up prompts, but no longer having pop-ups is "fake news."

Regarding the paste pop-up problem in iOS 16, Apple also responded recently and stated that it will solve the problem of frequent pop-ups in the software update to be released next week.

In the iOS 16 Beta2 test version released by Apple today, although the pop-up problem has not been completely solved, it has at least been alleviated. If you are often disturbed by pop-ups in iOS 16, you can choose to upgrade and try.

iPhone users who want to try out the iOS 16.1 system can go to our official account: Apple Fan Home and reply "16" to obtain the iOS 16 test/public beta version description file download link, and follow the prompts to install the description file to upgrade to the latest iOS 16.1 beta version.

Apart from the annoying pop-ups that are still there, the main changes in iOS 16.1 Beta2 are: the progress bar display of "battery percentage" has been optimized, and now the battery progress bar in the battery icon will change with the changes in battery level.

Instead of just the numbers changing as before, the battery progress bar remains full, which can easily lead users to mistakenly believe that the battery is fully charged.

In addition, iOS 16.1 Beta 2 also fixes a bug related to the three-finger system gesture. This gesture error often causes the system menu to appear or the undo/redo pasteboard operation alert instead of performing the correct operation assigned to the three-finger gesture in each application.

The above is the general update of the iOS 16.1 Beta2 test version. In fact, no new features have been added. It is more of an optimization based on the original new features.
