Apple Beta Releases

Hi Guys just installed iOS 16.1 public beta 2 and have a big problem Two finger double tap no longer works in media apps or for dictation in the messages app. I can still answer the phone but in other apps mentioned and there maybe more it does nothing. Checked in VO commands and the gesture is still there. This was not around in public beta 1 of iOS 16.1. Reported via the feedback app. Using iPhone 13 pro.

Remember, user feedback is vital to making the Apple ecosystem even more accessible

Reporting bugs directly to Apple is vital. Don't assume that they must already know about a bug. Regardless, the more information they have on an issue, the easier it is for them to reproduce and resolve. The more reports Apple receive, the more likely they are to prioritise fixing the bug. Quality and quantity of bug reports both matter.

If you are running a beta release, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit suggestions and bug reports. If you are on a public release of the software, this page tells you how to submit suggestions and reports.

I’ve been noticing it as well. It can be a frustrating issue. It’s most prevalent when I try to dictate and the magic tap either doesn’t work or it starts a music video or other media instead of adding dictation

Install beta 3three and definitely still experiencing the issue. I’ll keep testing. However, I’m not noticing any different at all.

Even if the device has restarted during the update, I would close out everything from the app switcher and reboot the device again.
