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.

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.
